For those driving 1500km a month, the running cost difference with an EV is significant. Petrol in an SUV costs about 6-7 rupees per km, while electricity in Bangalore reduces it to under 2 rupees. Nexon EV handles daily 60km easily, but a 300km highway run may need one charge stop.

For a practical 300 km range, the Nexon EV is a good choice. It offers a better NVH and driving experience compared to similar ICE vehicles.

For 20L rupees, you get the Nexon EV. It is a good option.

Nexon is a good choice for a new car with its mileage, safety, and looks. It's better to buy a new car rather than an old one.

We have the first Nexon in Mangalore and last year bought a Nexon EV. We are truly happy with Tata.

Tata Nexon diesel is best for Indian roads with less maintenance and highest mileage.

Nexon EV is not far behind in terms of city driving, offering more space.

Test drove the Nexon. It gave good visibility of the bonnet and road.

I currently own a Nexon AMT, driven 20k kms. I love the turbo in Nexon, but it started giving me trouble as soon as it hit the 5th year. Can't be sure about its reliability anymore.

Questions you may find useful

I am looking to buy an EV. My monthly usage ranges from 500 km to 1,000 km, and my budget is under Rs. 15 lakh. Could you please suggest the best EV options for my requirements?

•2d

Get the Tata Punch EV 40kWh. Your 500-1000 km a month is exactly its sweet spot, and the price is comfortably under Rs. 15 lakh in most cities. One home charge a week should be enough for your normal city usage, and you'll still have room for a short weekend round-trip. It is easy to drive and park, rides well on bad roads, and Tata’s EV service reach is pretty wide now.If you plan to use it on highways, it will need some planning around chargers, and the boot is modest. If you want even more range and a larger vehicle, the Tata Nexon EV 45kWh mid-level trims are an option, but won't get as many features and will stretch your budget. For most first-time EV buyers at this budget, the Punch EV 40 is the best choice.

Hi, I am looking for any automatic SUV between Rs. 15 -20 lakhs on road price at Bangalore. Can u guide which would be the best option? My usage and criteria are as follows: 1. Heavy city usage - approx. 60kms per day (hence prefer TC or CVT transmission)- around 1200-1500 kms per month 2. Monthly 1 or 2 highway drive @ approx 300kms 3. I am ok with any fuel type 4. Is it prudent to go for ICE or EV for the above criterion 5. Want impeccable after-sales service as I would own only one vehicle (I don't even own a two-wheeler)

The Kia Seltos IVT is the best pick for your needs. Its slick gearbox delivers a very smooth experience in typical city driving, and there's enough performance for your 300km highway runs. The Seltos also feels plush, offers good ride comfort and is roomy inside. It also packs in plenty of tech, so the car won't feel outdated even over a long ownership period. Kias are reliable, and service support is generally very good.An EV would be smoother still in city driving, but few of the options within your budget would deliver a comfortable 300km on a single charge for your highway drives. The Tata Nexon EV and MG WIndsor Pro with the big battery options are worth a look.

Hello Autocar. Thank you for continuing to solve our doubts in such a genuine way. I have a small query. We currently own a 2022 Tata Altroz XZ+ diesel. Since I have to travel about 100km daily, we are planning to upgrade to an EV. However, everyone at home, including me, is attached to the Altroz and is looking for a similar experience. I wanted to ask if an Altroz EV is in the works or if there has been any development on that front. Otherwise, could you suggest whether the Punch EV or the Nexon EV would be better for a family of four?

•5d

Pick the Tata Nexon EV. It will feel closest to your Altroz while giving you more range cushion and more room for four. With 100 km daily, that larger battery and stronger AC performance mean less charging stress and easier weekend runs, and the Nexon’s wider rear seat and bigger boot make family life comfier. The Nexon's larger footprint also translates to greater confidence, especially at higher speeds.The Punch EV is a great value and very easy to drive in traffic. If your use is almost all city and parking is tight, the Punch EV can be considered as an option. However, for an Altroz owner used to that solid, grown-up feel, the Nexon EV will feel more familiar.About an Altroz EV, there’s nothing on sale or officially announced for the near term. Tata showed a concept years ago, but the current focus is Punch EV, Curvv EV, Harrier EV and Sierra. If you want an EV now, do not wait.

I want to buy a car for my office commute and occasional short road trips around Bangalore. I am considering an EV and am confused between waiting for the Kia Syros EV or going ahead with the Tata Punch EV Facelift. Which option would you recommend?

•1w

If you're referring to the Kia Syros EV, it may be worth waiting if you're not in a hurry. Given what we've already seen with the Syros ICE, the Syros EV is expected to offer significantly more cabin space and practicality than the Punch EV. In fact, the Syros is closer to the Nexon in terms of overall size and interior room, so the EV version is likely to appeal to buyers looking for a more spacious family car.The trade-off is that the Syros EV will almost certainly be more expensive than the Punch EV and is expected to be positioned closer to the Nexon EV in terms of battery size, range and pricing.For your usage of office commutes and occasional road trips around Bangalore, the Punch EV facelift is already a very well-rounded product. It is well priced, easy to drive in the city and offers enough range for most use cases.

Hi. I have a Maruti Suzuki S-Presso CNG that I bought in August 2020. It has already covered 1,60,000km. My daily running is approximately 115km, with 85% on highways and 15% in mixed city traffic. I want to replace it before Diwali 2026. Please suggest a car for long-term ownership. Should I continue with CNG, or switch to an EV or diesel?

•1w

An EV could make a lot of sense for your usage, but only if you can install a home charger. Covering 115km a day, mostly on the highway, is easy for today’s EVs, and your heavy running will cut fuel and service costs significantly. You will also get much stronger cruising performance and overtaking ability than your S-Presso CNG, with no fuel station queues to worry about.The Tata Nexon EV 45kWh is the sensible pick for value and service network support, and it will comfortably manage two days of driving on a single charge. If you are on a tighter budget, then the Punch EV 40kWh is also a good choice.The honest catch: highway fast chargers can still be patchy on some routes, and the upfront purchase price is higher.If home charging is not possible, then buy a diesel and keep life simple on the highway. The Hyundai Venue diesel and Kia Sonet diesel are both good choices for your needs.
