2022 Tata Nexon EV Max review - Larger battery, more range & new kit | First Drive | Autocar India

[@PravinPatil41]

ARAI should really revamp their range testing methodologies to reflect at least somewhat closer to the real life range.

[@shivaranjanb3006]

Desi bureaucracy, paisa do tho sab kuch munkin hai 😂

[@siddhantpujari9035]

ARAI is basically for vehicle emission testing. Car manufacturers smartly use the details on it.

[@vaishachr924]

Claimed 430 should get you around 300-320 easily. But the real range figures of 260 are shocking. Somehow the MG ZS seems to do more closer to the Nexon in terms of claimed range

[@003_kusarigama5]

ARAI seems shady now.. just shocking range, people were hoping to get a real world range of 370/380😅

[@nujjigram]

Mg zs EV also under performs in terms of its claimed ARAI range The best comparison would be to look at WLTP claimed range and see the actual range ..the mg zs ev falls well short even in those conditions, while the kona comes the closest to claimed range

[@vaishachr924]

@@nujjigram I agree that the ZS under performs on the claimed range but it is not as shocking as the Nexon. Yeah Kona seems closer but it is not appealing to me for some reason.

[@nujjigram]

@@vaishachr924 that's because kona is outdated in terms of features and price ..it's a 5 year old ICE convert which was good for it's time And interiors aren't appealing in terms of style and appearance especially when MG looks premium in comparison

[@devnarayan5458]

I average 230-250 in my tigor ev. Range in an ev heavily depends on the driving manners. What we all need is an ev,in which we can comfortably cruise on the highway at 80-90kmph for atleast 350kms in real world. Dream ev.

[@venkateshkulkarni4270]

What we need currently is an affordable EV with 450-500 real world range and the one that can do with speeds of 90-110. Anything below this won't sell except for the urban buyers. We don't need money to be spent on gimmicky features like cooled seats, park brake with a button etc. Just a good car with good range , safety & speeds decent enough.

[@BangaloreTrafficMadness]

I'll wait for a pure ev. These adaptations are for early adopters. A ev built from the ground up would have 400+ range with better spacing

[@gurudatta20999]

That Wireless charging slot is the biggest update. Atleast now Tata made it real accessible 😅

[@lingesh2773]

Let's be honest. 98% of indians don't use wireless charging smartphone. Instead of wireless charging they could have given usb socket for rear seats.🥲

[@RiyajJayaprakash]

Wireless charging ok.. but does it have wireless android auto/car play???

[@ajay.chauhan]

best part is that it has cooling as well

[@AlwinCrasto]

The lesser ground clearance and higher knee seating position for backseat passengers are dealbreakers for me. It's also shocking how a 437 km claimed range translates to only 260 km in the real world.

[@sangtalkidsangtalkid1976]

Yes, whats the point of these fake ranges when its not even 60% near the actual!! Who are they trying to fool?

[@DrManvendraSingh]

We have 2 older versions in our company, trust me they do more than what is claimed here, 230-240 is easily manageable on them... I guess EV max will do 320-320 easily..

[@VKEDITZKBFC]

@@sangtalkidsangtalkid1976 it's real world is 320-350

[@paulwiliam247]

Update the nexon and use ethanol in the normal nexon and be carbon neutral and good for the Indian economy...

[@paulwiliam247]

And ethanol is real cheap ₹40 /l

[@nitin7218]

Hope we’ll soon get an EV that’s designed ground up. This relies a lot oh how this car performs in the market.

[@gowthamv7856]

Yes i am waiting for it as well.

[@alankrit_anand]

Car costing 20L OTR should have 6 airbags in the top spec, I know it is a safe car but an added safety feature is always a welcome addition.

[@drnisargchavan]

No cup holder , no bottle holder seems Tata has decided nobody is going to take Nexon out of city Good review, good car , looks best car for city use

[@nujjigram]

Centre console is definitely badly utilised..they had all the freedom to make more space and instead chose to reduce it Also no regen paddles despite 3 regen levels

[@harshvardhansinha]

If they are so concerned about range, better give led lights instead of halogen lamps. LEDs are more than a order of magnitude power efficient than halogens.

[@sunilarkt]

Why would anyone want led headlamps ? they are terrible on highways at night and literally useless in the rain

[@thulashipuramarun]

But the same led will spoil your driving in rainy or foggy situations,

[@VikasJaink]

I think you are confused between batteries, battery pack is different and regular battery is different.

[@Shekhar_Jyoti]

The lights, infotainment system etc don't run on the battery pack. They run on a different conventional battery just like on an ICE car.

[@pranav2369]

That rear seat looks downright uncomfortable. Downgrade on boot space would have been a fair compromise for a bigger battery.

[@anoopj.p.1191]

@autocarindia - THANK YOU for this amazing video. This is truly an amazing car and yes - this car could rule our roads for sometime (remembering Indica V2) How proud are we Indians to say - Mr.Ratan Tata is an Indian and he works for the betterment of his country (always☝️) ഓരോ ഇന്ത്യക്കാരന്റെയും അഹങ്കാരം (എളിമയുള്ള അഹങ്കാരം) - ശ്രി.രത്തൻ ടാറ്റ If we buy Indian products, Indian GDP will benefit, otherwise other countries will benefit. #incredibleindia अतुल्य भारत Jai Hind!

[@avivscrewvalla]

Have to admit that Tata's first attempt is an admirable one. That said, no excuse for offering a sub 300km real world range vehicle while marketing a 437 km ARAI range. Their upcoming all EV platform MUST integrate roof solar to help parked vehicles top up their charge

[@Balajikishu]

Indeed.... Good Option...

[@gunjitkumar]

Roof solar, yeah, I bet you have no background in engineering

[@The_budgetking]

nah, solar panels on cars are practically useless

[@jabesulaganathan8316]

Another 2 Lacs overhead for 5 Units generation ?

[@nithishjvj8736]

The problem for an EV is it's battery itself Bigger battery, Heavier, Tampered efficiency. Guess lower variants with lesser features would reduce weight and help range. Should add more DC chargers in highways for making long trips worry free

[@arjananand2701]

I drive nexon ev max xz+ since past 3 months. The following is my unfiltered observation: New car range 200 kms, range got better gradually Post first discharge to 5% and recharge to 100% range became 280 kms. The above mentioned are winter scenarios with heating on at all times. In summers it never gets better than 260 kms. I have driven 5500 kms and my avg is 150 wh/ km approx

[@prayaagp4131]

With almost zero competition in its segment, Tata should drive max customers with this good product & some offers as well.

[@vikhneshar104]

The value for money proposition of this car is amazing

[@vj.joseph]

The knurled finish knob is a classic driving experience itself. Tactile buttons, and the multifunction knobs are very useful. Tata has really done a modern car for us.

[@Aniruddha606]

5:32 with rgen lv 3 380km on display is pretty good number though

[@niravjhaveri]

Great update on the car, but the same 7” display is disappointing

[@TeawithJava]

A minimum of 500 KM range is required to take it into highway.... Plus Unplanned travel is impossible with EV. That kills the joy of weekend trip..

[@sarathtr7060]

Rear Seat knees up position should have been addressed considering the average family cruising. A customer spending over 20 Lakhs still has to compromise with Halogen lights. A few couple of thousands should have solved the issue.Also the customers mostly use it in the city , so steering tightness may be an issue especially for women users. Still the customer has to wait for another facelift/update..? Come On Tata. All the rest is Spot On..! SEAT Ventilation absolutely required for India.

[@nujjigram]

Also the centre console space is poorly utilised..there is absolutely no space for storage And no regen paddles despite having 3 regen modes.. Tata are currently introducing a car 5 years after seeing every other major manufacturer , so they had enough time to review all the best cars in the world

[@dv9239]

Anybody who prefers LEDs is a psychopath

[@manishmaniikantpradhan9886]

Tata Nexon EV is good car. Tata will surely capture more on electric vehicle segment.

[@venukrithish007]

We need a lot more range I feel. I don't know whether it's efficiency or the capacity. But 250kms in the city is nothing spl especially how EVs around the globe are performing

[@Traveller_Da]

EVs around the globe... Or mostly in europe and US where the price of an ev is much higher. BYD has a car with a lot more range but it's chinese . The next option is tesla have a pick

[@Aniruddha606]

global evs that are performing according to you is atleast 2.5 to 3 times more costly than this one, You have some of that options in india as well, You can go for any one of them

[@nujjigram]

250 on highway is the worst range they could get..in city it can get 350 for certain and more likely to get 290 on highway

[@sathyaki]

Well, book a Tesla then. You won't get international standards at 20L.

[@gowthamv7856]

Well i must say 200range is more than enough for city driving with home charging you will never run out of battery. But this update is kostly for highway users like me who travel 160km up and down so having more capacity will reduce anxiety

[@sahurajibsir8144]

2022 revolution of electric bike and automobile in india by Tata motor. Every must be buy electric automobile and bike and made of India.

[@amit6844]

Nice car...but its better to wait for their gen2 & gen3 ev. They will have platform for electric vehicle unlike this which is modified from ice. They will be much lighter, faster & have real world range of approx 400km.

[@VikasJaink]

Nope this platform is for EV and ICE.

[@gowthamv7856]

Yes for that i think we have to wait for a few years. Because even altroz ev is not yet launched.

[@paulwiliam247]

Not lighter I'll say cuz batteries are heavy whatever...

[@thedarkknight0710]

Excellent Reviiew!!! You said both pros and cons which was really helpful!!

[@Ankit-ri8sv]

Honestly, there's nothing MAX about the Nexon EV MAX. You still get half the claimed range. At least the standard version can get upto 250km on 1 charge. The price premium seems to be more for feature additions rather than range.

[@mviv6339]

u r a confused person

[@avinashvarma3543]

the standard version gives a maximum 200-220 thats it

[@gowthamv7856]

[@hindustanremix8920]

I have tata Nexon ev I am very happy 😊😊

[@PrasanthTP....]

avg range is only around 250km per charge, where did the other 200 go, can autocar do a proper mileage test on this, i was thinking of booking a MAX, but a bit doubt full now, doesnt make sense to pay extra for another 50km

[@jaypatil150]

Hi Prashanth, we have done a range test on the highway and in the city. The claimed number is rather high though. Check 5:15. Cheers!

[@sushmithprasad766]

In short claimed range is not real world range and in real world you can clearly expect this car to run 100 KM short. Tata still needs few more years to win the complete customer confidence in terms of range. Hope to see better products soon.

[@vaishachr924]

@@sushmithprasad766 Everyone expected the fall to be 100 kms, so 330 real life figures would have been ideal. But 260 means ,it is almost 160 kms short. that is a lot of drop from the claimed figures. This is where the MG ZS might be better. From what i gathered, the MG would go within 80 kms of its claimed figure.

[@avatr7109]

Hi! random question... How does this EV perform if you are stuck in crawling traffic.. Because I get stuck on the Eastern Express way (Mumbai) and on top finding a charging station is like hoping to find & get right swiped on Tinder

[@imranchand6669]

It depends on the driving. Spending time with this car is important. Then you can easily gett 350+ range. As some Nexon Ev (Regular) are getting upto 280 km range.

Excellent informative review well done! Now to convince Tata South Africa to distribute here where there's a huge gap in our ev market!

[@pinnojusudishkumar1926]

i think ARAI should make a video how they will validate this Range & they should not allow OEM to fool common people with incorrect numbers Paper vs Actual. One more thing - Range defined for night & day is diff because of lighting - LED drains battery less compare to normal light - An over night journey is the key.

[@manaspradhan8041]

The way they talked about regen and braking, i have a good feeling they didn't have regen on max when doing the range test. That's the wrong way to drive an ev, why wouldn't you wanna use regen at Max is beyond me

[@jaypatil150]

@@manaspradhan8041 Hi Manas. I understand it is tempting to use max regen at all times since it offers the best range. However, the level three regen on the Max is quite strong so if you are on an open road, the car slows down drastically. This means you have to use a lot of battery to gain back the speed and momentum you lost and end up reducing the range. Ideally, the level 3 regen is best for city traffic and not open stretches or highways. Hope this helps! Cheers!

[@imranchand6669]

@@jaypatil150 not really. Depends on the type of highway..on highways with lot of variation in speed due to traffic or other factors such as gradient and turning requirement, the regen will be set to max On flat highway without much disturbance, regen at minimum. I understand it's hard to respond to everyone's comments though

How true is that if u drive at more than 60kmph then battery drains way too faster... Like if u go 80kmph or more then you're like to drain battery so fast

That's just simple physics..the car is shaped like a box just like most cross over / SUVs.. aerodynamics is bad and hence above 60-70 the air is the biggest resistance to movement.. Even ICE suv will have poor mileage above 70

If you always set it to Max regen, drivers used to driving ICE will find the driving experience very weird. Initially it’s best to set it to lowest level of regen and once you are comfortable with the car, you can ramp up the regen levels.

[@hitesh9396]

This is the best car

[@AnoopSinghRanhotra]

I read lot of comments demanding 500km range car and the abysmal real world range of nexon vs the ARAI claim. SImply put an EV outputs about an average of 5km to 7.5 km depending on your foot on accelaration, AC usage. so taking 6km per kilowatt of battery gives about 180km on a 30KWhr battery pack on old nexon, which is actually it's real world range. In order for our ask of 500km we would need 100KWhr of battery - this in turn has its own cons 1. long charging times 2. Increased weight if car driving efficiency down. 3. Less ground clearance and rear seat leg space. 4. Exorbitant costs which would make it impossible to afford for most of us . Though the battery technology is slowly improving and the battery output per density and it's price is slowly going down, but we have to stick with what we are being offerred in india for atleast upcoming 10 years. MG ZS Long Range Version 70KWhr is another option giving about 5 to 6km/kw x 70 = 350-420 km of range - reming me about it's price or is it even available ?

[@shashimenon1000]

Still lot of room for improvement to make it competitive.
