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).

Tata is apparently gearing up to launch the 2022 refresh of its Nexon EV in India soon. A new report has revealed the possible launch date of the new car alongside some of its expected specifications and even pricing.

According to a RushLane report, the Indian Conglomerate is planning on announcing the 2022 Nexon EV in India on the 6th of April 2022. The launch will follow a long period of testing the car on public roads. For those unaware, the Nexon EV is currently the market leader in the electric vehicle segment in India, accounting for 60 percent of the total electric car sales in the region. And now, the brand is set to launch a new model with refreshed specifications for improved range and power.

Recently, we had reported on Tata hiking the price of the Nexon EV along with some other models as well. So, the 2022 Nexon EV is likely to arrive with higher specifications like larger battery and a longer driving range and even more power. In other words, it would likely launch with a higher price tag as well. The brand could possible decide to bump the price of the new model by around 300,000 to 400,000 INR (roughly 3,930 to 5,240 US Dollars) over the current generation.

Despite its price bump, the 2022 Nexon EV will still compete with other EVs from rival brands. This includes the likes of the Hyundai Kona EV and MG ZS EV with its range. Since its a new refreshed model, the 2022 edition could also offer changes to offer better luxury. Similarly, it is rumored to get a new 40kWh battery pack as well that could help it provide a maximum of 300 kilometers of ARAI certified range.
