Tata Motors is all set to launch its 2022 Tata Nexon EV long-range in India on May 11. The homegrown auto manufacturer has dominated the EV segment in India with its Nexon EV. The upcoming Tata electric vehicle will pack a bigger battery and is expected to have an increased range of 400km.

The new EV does not carry many upgrades in terms of design. However, the car is expected to have new regenerative braking modes, disc brakes on all four wheels, cruise control, and other safety features. The addition of a larger battery may result in a reduction in the car’s cargo area.

In terms of battery capacity, the Nexon EV currently has a 30.2kWh unit. This configuration claims a range of 312km. The 2022 Tata Nexon EV long-range car will have a larger battery pack, which is believed to be around 40kWh. This will give the car an additional 88kms of mileage. It is unknown whether the automobile will employ the same electric motor as the existing model.

Tata Motors is likely to make additional changes in order to accommodate the larger battery pack. Mechanically, the upcoming long-range EV could include more chassis braces, upgraded suspension, and stronger construction components. The new vehicle is also expected to feature a new alloy wheel design.

2022 Tata Nexon EV long-range is said to be Rs 2-3 Lakh more expensive than the existing car, thanks to the upgraded battery pack.  The Tata Nexon EV costs between Rs 14.54 lakh ($19,061) and Rs 17.15 lakh ($22,483).
