Tata Nexon EV Sets Its Launch Date On January 28

Tata Nexon EV has been the talk of the automotive industry for a while now. And this is because it'll be the most affordable electric SUV after the Hyundai Kona and MG ZS EV. Now, we've got our hands on the launch date of the Tata Nexon EV which is on the 28th of January.

This means that Tata Nexon EV launch date will be just six days after the company reveals the prices of its upcoming premium hatchback, Altroz. Sharing some highlights of the Nexon EV then it will be offered in three variants - XM, XZ+ and XZ+ Lux.

The EV will use Tata's Ziptron EV Technology and offers a 30.2 kWh battery pack. The motor produces a whopping 129 bhp along with 245 Nm of maximum torque. The driving range slated is 312 km and 0-100km/h sprint can be achieved in a mere 9.9 seconds. Top speed is locked to a genuine 120 km/h or about 125 km/h on the speedometer.
