Tata Nexon EV

Positives:

• It gets an electric sunroof that can be operated through the voice command function.

• Is offered with a two-spoke back-lit steering, 10.25-inch HD configurable driver display, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with app download capability.

• It is available with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a fantastic JBL music player with nine speakers including a sub-woofer.
• The Nexon EV comes with an electronic parking brake switch and touch controls for the air-con, boot release, and 360-degree camera.

• Is equipped with an auto-dimming IRVM, rain-sensing wipers, auto headlamps, and two 45W Type-C ports.

• Is compatible with vehicle-to-vehicle charging (charge another EV) and V2L (vehicle-to-load) to externally charge your equipment.
• The leatherette seats have a ventilation function for the front row and are comfortable and supportive overall.

• The 60:40 rear bench has a centre armrest and can easily seat three passengers with generous legroom.

Negatives:

• The instrument cluster does not display navigation from Google Maps on an iOS smartphone.
• It takes time to remember the controls on the centre panel and touch feedback would improve the user experience.
• Only the driver’s seat can be adjusted for height and not the front passenger's seat.
• Tall passengers may find the headroom to be restrictive at the rear.

• There are no cup holders in the front row of the Nexon EV.

Positives:

• Gets a five-star safety rating along with six airbags as standard across all variants.
• Is available with a 360-degree camera and a blind spot view monitor for better visibility.
• Is offered with ESP, hill ascent and descent control, auto hold, and disc brakes on all four wheels.

Negatives:

• The Nexon EV misses out on ADAS functionality.

Positives:

• It has a stunning dual-tone design with 16-inch alloys that improve efficiency and a DRL bar with a charging indicator.

• The high-placed bonnet compliments the minimal grille (like all EVs) with the sequential turn indicators.

• The rear is even more attractive with the angular connecting taillamps, spoiler, and inverted wiper under it.

• The cabin looks and feels thoroughly modern, especially in the cream-black theme, giving it an airy and plush feel.

• The wide touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, and attractive two-spoke steering feel premium.

• Controls on the centre console and the stubby gear lever look and feel upmarket.

Negatives:

• Although subjective, the purple paint shade on the Nexon EV is a little too bright and fancy.
• It needs more styling variations to differentiate it from the regular Tata Nexon.
