The Tata Nexon.ev last received an update in September 2023. The facelift version was followed by the introduction of a larger battery pack. This year, Tata Motors is said to be planning to roll out the next-generation Nexon.ev.



The next-gen Tata Nexon.ev could be launched in India by Diwali 2025. The EV is expected to get new features and battery options.

The latest iteration of the Nexon.ev will be based on Tata’s Acti.ev platform and could be offered with two battery options: a 45 kWh and a larger 55 kWh unit. The former delivers a range of 489 km on a single charge, while the 55 kWh battery, which powers the Curvv.ev, offers a range of 585 km.



Currently, the entry-level Nexon.ev comes with a 30 kWh battery pack. Whether it will continue to be on sale remains to be seen.

Tata is said to be upgrading the Nexon.ev on the lines of the new Curvv. It is likely to get smart door handles, a hands-free boot lid, and a more refined interior with features such as dual 12.3-inch screens, 6 airbags, ADAS, and a ‘summon’ function.

So that means the Curvv is going to get a boot chop to turn into the Next gen Nexon on the Activ.EV platform. This calls for weight reduction and increased agility. That will result in better range and riding comfort. Hope they increase the tyre size to 17 inches. Hope they keep the centre of gravity lower than the current Nexon. Also the floor height for the rear passengers will be more flat than the current car. My Nexon EV MAX does sway a little bit on sharp turns. I just took a Punch petrol on zoom car and drove it over the hills of Idukki Kerala, from Alleppey to Idukki in and back to Cochin. The car was much better planted and well powered to handle the winding roads with lots twists and turns much better than my Nexon EV MAX.

So the X1 platform will be finally junked in favour of ATLAS platform derived SUV for the ICE variants.

I hope Tatas can address the quality control concerns between now and then. They need new models- sure. But I think what they need more urgently is to come to grips with their myriad QC issues and stop the bad vibes building up from the narratives of dissatisfied customers. These will built up slowly, and then the dam will breach. Even the biggest of companies struggle with managing the situation once it hits a crisis. Best addressed now.

If this is true, then it is a pretty smooth and natural evolution of their EV strategy. I think TaMo is the new Maruti in the EV space. The most models in the mass market segment. Everyone else has to go upmarket to differentiate themselves.
On a related note, I test drove the MG Windsor to see how it compares with my Nexon EV Max. While it offers loads of space thanks to a skateboard architecture, the ride quality and cabin noise is appalling. It almost felt like MG cut corners in the ride and NVH department to compete in the 10-20 lakh category. Not sure if other members felt the same. Their ZS EV on the other hand is a segment above and very refined.

I hope they rework the center console and make it backward compatible with the 2024 Nexon.ev as well. That one thing truly robs the experience of an otherwise excellent car, thanks to the sheer amount of wasted space and unergonomic design.

Hope it is a proper update than just "on the lines of the new Curvv".

If not, then the mentioned features are the only changes they can do. And they will have the same dashboard, same centre console, same doorpads et al.

Literally there is no company in the world that makes EV are trouble free. I didn't see a company that had people not bashing them for breakdowns and QC issues. Be it BYD, MG, TESLA, GM, MERC, BMW, STELLANTIS GR, HYUNDAI, KIA or FORD. Japanese have not yet got into the EV space so not much is heard from them. It's an evolving technology and everyone is new. Highest seller gets the most bashing as they are the most exposed.

I doubt if they will tinker with the interiors as they have synchronized them with the CURVV. Nexon too has been recently updated and shares It's interiors. Basic reason is to keep costs down. Both of them will get updated at once in the next generation evolution. So till then you will see cosmetic or some bumper/boot design changes.

I think it is a very good idea to continue this "legendary" name plate. Nexon really made Tata Motors what it is today and in many ways is the face of EV in India. Should never give up on such hard fought victory.

I hope they keep the sub-4m form factor for the car and do not get tempted to increase it. We do need an EV of that size in the Indian context. But then I do not understand how they would pack the additional 10 KWH battery. It will be a tough ask.

Increasing the outer diameter of the wheel has more disadvantages than benefits. First is the replacement costs. 17-inch tyres will cost approximately 50k per set for a good brand, whereas 16-inch tyres will cost Rs.38-40k to replace. For the same construction, 17-inch wheels are heavier, causing a decrease in range & performance. Nexon already has a slightly stiff suspension. 17-inch wheels increase the stiffness even more. 17 inch tyres are more prone to sidewall cuts and bulges.

While you make an excellent point, the manufacturers you listed are not known for fundamental issues with the BMS, MCU or battery (except maybe Hyundai and their ICCU troubles) which are the areas where the TATAs suffer. Niggles in critical systems should and are rightly treated as more serious by customers. We should expect better fundamentals from TATA. Small bugs in infotainment systems and other peripheral systems are excusable. Cars requiring battery, BMS, MCU replacements within a few years is not.

And I second this opinion. See what happened to Ola electric scooter. So much promise, class leading features, new sales initiative and let down by QC issues. The growing dissatisfaction among the customer base finally reached a tipping point and now sales have actually taken a hit. It’s the misguided trust in their products, sales figures or their arrogance which will eventually be a manufacturer’s downfall.

I am using the Nexon 45, they have tremendously improved on the build quality, no major niggles. It doesn’t feel half baked at all

Actually it would be a better car if they had gone the XUV400 way and made it even 10mm longer, as long as that addition is in the rear seat knee space. Would have been an even more killer car then!

I agree. Nexon's ergonomics is not its strong point so as long as they do minor increases it would be fine. But my guess is that if they do increase it, they would waste it on panoramic sunroofs .

One request to TM. Among the 1 million versions of you cars, please have a full spec-ed minus the sunroof version. Please please. This is a humble request.

I really want them to drop Nexon EV and drop the price of CURVV to the mid price of Nexon and play the game straight into the face of MG and would have countered the Winsor. They will have an option to get in a bigger battery pack Punch EV to bridge the gap.
