The Tata Nexon EV remains the standard benchmark for mass-market electric vehicles in India. It successfully bridges the gap between an affordable daily runabout and a premium family car, and the recent addition of the 45 kWh battery pack has also fixed the biggest hurdle of EV ownership for this car: range anxiety. That extra battery capacity delivers true peace of mind, stretching the real-world range well past the 300 km mark.

It also handles most of the rough stuff brilliantly. The suspension cushions you from harsh impacts, while the electric motor has that satisfying shove of torque you will need to overtake occasionally. Yes, the cabin plastics in certain areas could be better, and the infotainment software suffers from occasional niggles. But as a complete package, it ticks off nearly all boxes, and if you want a zero-emission daily driver that is genuinely easy to live with, the Nexon EV is exceptionally tough to beat.

Seshan concludes, 
 

“Is the Nexon EV 45 a smart upgrade? Absolutely. The slight premium you pay for the long-range version feels entirely justified. You get a larger battery, slightly more grunt, and a highly usable 70 km of extra driving range. That extra distance makes the car incredibly easy to live with.”
