Editorial review
Our take
The Nexon EV remains the default choice for Indian families looking to switch to electric. The 40.5 kWh Long Range pack delivers a genuine 300+ km on highways, and the 5-star Global NCAP score gives peace of mind that is hard to match at this price. It isn't the most exciting EV to drive, but it is the most sensible.
