Tata Motors has expanded its popular electric SUV lineup by launching a new variant of the Nexon EV that now comes with Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System). Priced at ₹17.29 lakh (ex-showroom), this new version aims to bring modern safety and convenience features to a wider range of buyers.
ADAS Features for Safer Drives
The Nexon EV ADAS variant introduces multiple driver-assist functions that make driving easier and safer, especially in Indian road conditions. Some of the features include:
Lane Keep Assist & Lane Departure Warning – Keeps the car centered on highways.
Forward Collision Warning & Automatic Emergency Braking – Alerts and brakes in case of a sudden obstacle.
Traffic Sign Recognition – Reads road signs and informs the driver.
High Beam Assist – Adjusts the headlamps automatically.
Driver Drowsiness Alert – Warns if the system detects fatigue
Battery & Range
The ADAS package is available only with the 45 kWh long-range battery pack.
Claimed driving range: up to 489 km on a single charge.
Real-world range: around 350–370 km, depending on conditions.
Fast charging (DC): 20% to 80% in about 40 minutes.
Comfort & Tech Upgrades
Apart from safety, Tata has also given this variant a few premium touches:
Ambient cabin lighting.
Rear window sunshades.
Large 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment with digital driver display.
Wireless charging, ventilated seats, JBL speakers, and a panoramic sunroof (on higher trims).
Dark and Red Dark Editions for those who prefer sportier styling.
Price & Variants
The new ADAS version is officially called the Nexon EV Empowered Plus A.
| Variant | Battery | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|---|
| Empowered Plus (No ADAS) | 45 kWh | ₹16.99 lakh |
| Empowered Plus A (With ADAS) | 45 kWh | ₹17.29 lakh |
| Empowered Plus A Dark / Red Dark | 45 kWh | ₹17.49 lakh |
The ADAS features add about ₹30,000 to the cost compared to the regular Empowered Plus model.
The Tata Nexon EV was already one of India’s best-selling electric SUVs. With the addition of ADAS, it now offers a blend of safety, range, and technology that’s usually seen in more expensive cars.
This move also pushes other carmakers to step up their game, which is good news for buyers looking for affordable EVs with advanced features.
The Nexon EV Empowered Plus A is a strong option for anyone looking to switch to electric mobility without compromising on modern tech and safety. At a starting price of ₹17.29 lakh, it feels like good value for money considering the features on offer.
For families, city users, and highway commuters alike, the ADAS-equipped Nexon EV could be the right balance of range, comfort, and peace of mind.
