The 2025 Tata Nexon EV is finally here. And it’s not just another facelift. It’s a complete game changer in India’s electric car space. Tata Motors has taken a bold step with this one. This Nexon EV is smarter, faster, safer, and a lot more stylish than before.
People expected something decent. But Tata delivered way more than that. They didn’t just tweak the old version. They almost built a new electric SUV from scratch. Let’s talk about what really makes this EV stand out.
Eye Catching
First, the looks. The design is super fresh. It feels very modern and bold. The front now gets a new closed grille, sleek LED DRLs, and sharp headlights. You also notice that the bumper looks sportier now. It gives that futuristic EV vibe, which was missing earlier.
The rear has also changed. The connected LED tail lamps look premium. There’s a floating roofline effect that adds to the style. Tata has really nailed the design this time. It doesn’t look like a budget car anymore.
New alloy wheels also bring some muscle to its road presence. It’s not too flashy, but it grabs attention wherever it goes.
Cabin Feel
Step inside and you’ll be surprised. It’s a whole new world compared to the older Nexon EV. The cabin feels more upmarket now. The dashboard layout is clean and classy. Tata has used soft-touch materials at many places. That’s a big step forward.
The center of attention is the new 12.3-inch touchscreen. It’s big, bright, and smooth to use. You also get a fully digital instrument cluster. The graphics are crisp and easy to read.
There’s a new two-spoke steering wheel too. It looks unique with its backlit Tata logo. Feels like Tata took notes from premium brands this time. The fit and finish are better. You can feel it in the buttons and touch panels.
Tech Loaded
This Nexon EV is not short on features. In fact, it feels like a tech upgrade on wheels. You get connected car features, a 360-degree camera, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, OTA updates, and even voice commands.
There’s a new Arcade.ev app suite. You can stream YouTube, play games, and enjoy entertainment right on the infotainment screen while parked or charging. Pretty cool for people who wait a lot at charging stations.
The sound system is from JBL. So yes, the music experience is actually good now. Add to that a wireless charger, air purifier, ventilated front seats, and Type-C ports, and you get a cabin that’s comfortable and modern.
Battery Options
Now let’s get to the main thing. The battery and range. Tata offers two variants. One is the Medium Range (MR) and the other is Long Range (LR).
The MR comes with a 30 kWh battery. It gives around 325 km range on a full charge. The LR gets a 40.5 kWh battery, offering 465 km ARAI-certified range.
Real-world range will be less, as always. But even then, getting 300+ km is very decent for city and short highway trips. For most Indian users, this range will be more than enough for weekly use.
Fast and Smooth
Performance is also solid. The MR version has a 129 hp motor. The LR gets a 144 hp one. The torque delivery is instant, as you’d expect in an EV. The LR does 0 to 100 km/h in under 9 seconds.
That’s quick for an SUV of this size. Driving in the city feels super smooth. It’s silent, quick, and very comfortable. On highways too, it feels stable and confident. You don’t feel like you’re driving a small EV. That’s a big win for Tata.
Also, there are multiple drive modes. Eco, City, and Sport. So you can control the throttle based on your mood or battery situation.
Charging Talk
Charging speed is often a worry for people thinking about EVs. But Tata has made improvements here too.
With a DC fast charger, you can charge the Nexon EV from 10% to 80% in just 56 minutes. That’s pretty fast for a sub-20 lakh EV.
If you use a home wallbox charger, it’ll take around 6.5 hours for a full charge (LR variant). It’s best to plug it in overnight, like a smartphone. For office-goers and daily users, this works just fine.
Tata is also pushing its charging network. Slowly but steadily, more chargers are popping up across highways and cities.
Drive Comfort
Ride quality is very good. Tata knows how to tune suspension for Indian roads. The Nexon EV handles potholes well. It absorbs most bumps without shaking the cabin.
The steering feels light at low speeds and gets firmer at higher speeds. That helps in parking and highway drives.
Even the brake feel is improved now. Regenerative braking can be adjusted. There are four levels. You can almost drive with just one pedal if you max out the regen. It also adds a bit more range.
Sound insulation is also better. Less road noise, less wind noise. Inside the cabin, it feels calm. This adds to the overall premium experience.
Safety Stuff
Tata has always taken safety seriously. And the 2025 Nexon EV is no different. It comes with 6 airbags, ESP, hill hold, ISOFIX, traction control, TPMS, and a strong body structure.
The previous version already had a good crash test score. The 2025 version should also score high. Safety is no longer just a selling point. It’s a basic need. And Tata understands that well.
They’ve also added blind spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera system. Both help a lot, especially in city traffic and tight parking.
Price Punch
Let’s talk money. The 2025 Nexon EV starts at around ₹14.5 lakh for the base MR variant. The top LR version goes up to ₹19.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
It’s not exactly cheap. But when you see the features, range, and tech, it feels like value for money. Plus, electric cars save a lot in running cost.
No petrol bills. No engine servicing. Very low maintenance. Over time, this car pays you back.
Also, in many states, EV buyers still get road tax benefits and subsidies. That brings the actual cost down a bit more.
Final Vibes
The 2025 Tata Nexon EV is more than just an update. It’s a proper leap forward for Indian EVs. It looks sharp, feels premium, drives well, and packs all the tech people love.
It’s still practical. Still affordable for many families. But now, it has the style and performance that’ll even impress someone switching from a petrol SUV.
Tata has clearly learned from user feedback and global trends. And they’ve made an EV that doesn’t feel like a compromise anymore.
If you’ve been waiting for a solid electric car under ₹20 lakh, this might just be the one worth checking out. It’s not perfect. But it’s way ahead of most others in its class. And for that, it truly stands out.
