Tata Motors has introduced a larger 45 kWh battery pack for the Nexon.ev. The Nexon.ev with the 45 kWh battery is priced at Rs 13.99 lakh (ex-showroom).



The new 45 kWh battery pack uses prismatic cells. It has a volumetric density of 186 wh/lit and promises a 15% higher energy density. Tata claims a gravimetric energy density improvement of 8%, a cell utilisation factor improvement of 45%, and charging time has dropped from 56 minutes to 40 minutes.



The Nexon.ev 45 kWh version offers a range of 489 km on a single charge (C75 Range: 350-370 km). Thanks to a fast charging rate of 1.2C, the battery can be charged from 10-80% in 40 minutes and up to 130 km of range in just 15 minutes.



The new battery pack powers a single electric motor that has an output of 110 kW and a torque of 215 Nm. Tata claims 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds and a top speed of 150 km/h.



In terms of features, the Nexon.ev 45 kWh version comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a digital instrument cluster, a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, rear AC vents, electric tailgate release, and an air purifier. Safety features include all four disc brakes, 6 airbags, Hill Hold Control, ESP, Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold, and TPMS.



Tata’s new iRA.ev app now includes a charge point aggregator feature. It lists over 9,000 chargers to assist users in planning their trips.



Tata Motors has also introduced the Nexon.ev Red Dark edition. It is available in a single Empowered+ 45 trim priced at Rs 17.19 lakh (ex-showroom).

Tata Nexon.ev 45 ex-showroom prices:

• Creative 45 – Rs 13.99 lakh
• Fearless 45 – Rs 14.99 lakh

How is it that the new Nexon 45kwh has a midc (1+2) range of 489km while Curvv 55kwh only has 502km of range?

Where has all that extra 10kwh gone?

Is the new Nexon superior in terms of battery/motor (compared to the latest Curvv)?

In the view of Tata's EV Battery 'hv-critical-alert' issue widespread prevalance, does it make even sense?
Its sheer playing with common man's money and time. Instead of coming up with a responsible statement about the issue in the public space, Tata Motor has the audacity to bring one more variant of the same. Such is the situation of law and order in our country. All the affected owners should come together and file a lawsuite against the culprit automaker.

Hi, brilliant move by Tata. Nexon.ev is a very good & successful product. 45kWh battery would realistically give 300km range (100% to 10%) even in sports mode.

Nexon.ev may not have Windsor EV level space at the back, but 45kWh battery for the price of 38kWh battery pack with real world range of 300km, in any weather condition & drive mode, is difficult to ignore.

It is just that if Tata somehow manage to improve their factory level QC, then there are very high chances that in coming months Tata will reach to No. 2 position in sales chart.

God bless the competition and hope other manufacturers also take India serious and launch new & updated products regularly.

The 489 number is ARAI

This is a brilliant move. Nexon finally gets a battery tech upgrade after 4 years. Nexon EV 45 is now a complete city car, and also better suited to the occasional highway run. 45kwh is a very good battery size, acceptable for most people under most circumstances, with the added benefit of faster DC charging. Panoramic sunroof is icing on the cake, it will make the rear seat feel more airy. The prices have also been formally corrected, the discounts are now officially incorporated into the ex showroom cost. Tata has responded to the MG Windsor in the best possible way. Too bad, it has again taken an MG to make Tata wake up from its slumber. It was exactly this way 8 months back when Tata had to start discounting the Nexon after MG cut the prices of ZS EV. A move proactive approach will be much appreciated.

I suppose the biggest impact will now be on the Curvv sales, specially the 45KW versions. Feature wise the Nexon Empowered+ 45 very closely matches with the Curvv Empowered+ 55. In Curvv, the additional 4 lks gets you:
- Slightly higher range 501 vs 489
- Slightly larger wheelbase
- Larger boot 500 liters vs 350
- Coupe design
- New acti.ev architecture (although it will not matter to the end customer)

Not sure if these are worth the premium, we will see soon enough in the monthly sales figures.

Battery 'hv-critical-alert' issue in Tata cars is predominantly only in the Nexon EV MAX variants with Ziptron tech. The 30 KWh variants or other new models do not face any of these issues. Also there is a recent software update for the issue. Don't even think is a permanent solution. It is a bypass solution. If the Battery develops 'hv-critical-alert' issue, the car used to stall. Now the car will go all the way till your home or service center or till you battery is completely drained!

yes, both 489km and 502km are updated MIDC ranges (part 1 + part 2)

Nexon 45kwh - 489km claimed range
Curvv 55kwh - 502 km claimed range

How come that extra 10kwh (a 22% increase in battery capacity) in Curvv adds a mere 3% to the claimed range?

Hi, I think 489km claimed range is ARAI and revised MIDC range for Nexon.ev 45kWh should be around 430km.

489km is the revise MIDC for 45Kwh (and not ARAI)
350+km is what they claim for C75

[Comrade]

Good to see Tata rationalizing Nexon.ev lineup. Much needed as there were too many variants without much value!

As Someone already suggested, Tata should also rationalize Tiago.ev and Punch.ev. Tiago.ev should just get 25kwh battery with more kit on XE and XT variants. Punch.ev also should just get 35kwh battery beginning base variants. I see no point in MR variants on any Tata.ev

How is that even possible? 40.5 KWh Nexon's revised MIDC range is 390 KM. You bump up the battery by 10%. So maximum additional range you can get is 10% i.e 39 KM. Which translates to max 430 KM.

Agreed. They should remove the MR variants and price the LR in MR rates.

Point 5 in the image below is key for the upgraded Nexon. This version of battery should have been launched with the updated Nexon but better late than never. Till date MG has used prismatic cells in all their EVs in India.
