1. Design

The Nexon EV Max is a slightly modified version of the Nexon EV, which itself looks like the Nexon ICE with a few changes.

From the side, the Nexon EV Max gets a sloping roofline, giving it a coupe-like look. It also gets a new design for the 16-inch alloy wheels and EV badge on the front fenders. The rear too looks identical to the standard Nexon EV with an EV badge on the boot. Hence, the only change in terms of design are the new alloy wheels and a new and exclusive Dark Blue colour option.

2. Battery And Motor

The Nexon EV Max gets a 40.5kWh battery, which is significantly bigger than the 30.2kWh battery pack in the standard Nexon EV. As a result, it produces 143PS of power and 250Nm of torque, which is 14PS and 5Nm more than the standard Nexon EV. The charging time, however, with a 3.3kW home charger has gone up by 4 hours and now takes 12.5 hours to juice up from 0 to 80%. As expected, the claimed range has also gone up. Tata claim a range of 437km on a single charge with the Nexon EV Max. We will discuss the range in detail in the next section.
