New Electric Tata Nexon EV price in Nepal 2022
The Electric car market in Nepal is rising rapidly with the decrease in vehicle tax and also more car buyers wanting to upgrade for the environment-friendly drive. The different car manufacturers offering unique electric vehicles in the nation have also increased providing normal to premium segments of EVs. Sipradi Trading, the sole authorized distributor of Tata Motors in Nepal, has officially launched the Tata Nexon EV in Nepal. The most trusted and highest number of vehicles sold by the company “TATA” has finally entered Nepal’s electric car market.
DESIGN OVERVIEW
The Tata Nexon EV is a Ziptron electric powertrain tech electric SUV launch by Tata Motors for the first time entering the EV market. The SUV’s funky front-end styling has been replaced by a more mature design, and while its profile remains distinct, it looks fresh. The bonnet area, especially, has been restyled and is more raised and flatter than before. This not only adds character to the Nexon but also helps it meet pedestrian protection norms. Its new 16-inch wheels don’t just look smarter, they are about a kilogram lighter as well. The dual-tone treatment with a contrast roof. The projector headlamp, LED DRLs, auto climate control, keyless entry, and a button start.
Interior & Comfort
Tata has improved the cabin’s perceived quality. The seats and the section around the elbow rest on the door pad now don off-white leatherette upholstery, featuring blue stitching and the tri-arrow (now bi-arrow) pattern in line with this EV’s theme; as do the blue trim highlights spread across the cabin. While the classy roof liner, free-standing touchscreen, coloured MID, textured plastics, and tastefully executed piano black trim lift the ambiance, what really ups its appeal is the inclusion of a sunroof.
Seat comfort is just as impressive as the standard car, and despite the battery being placed beneath the cabin floor, passengers at the rear don’t sit in a knees-up position. The bench is exceptional and the leatherette upholstery has made it even more comfortable. The cabin experience is very pleasant and the light colours and generous glass area contribute to the sense of space on offer. At 350 liters, its boot space is quite respectable, and you can even fold the seats completely flat by folding the rear bench squab forward to haul more cargo.

Performance & Safety
Generating power from a 30.2kWh liquid-cooled, lithium-ion battery, the Nexon EV’s permanent magnet synchronous motor churns out 129hp and 245Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a single-speed automatic transmission. Tata has equipped the Nexon EV with two drive modes, namely ‘D’ and ’S’, with the latter representing Sport Mode. n ‘D’, the motor is working at merely 60 percent of its full potential, generating around 150Nm of torque. On-tap responses are instantaneous and power flows in a beautifully linear manner.
Tata engineers have managed to achieve a 50:50 weight distribution, resulting in a good sense of balance from behind the wheel. Its center of gravity is low due to the battery placement, and the stiffened suspension and wide 215mm tires get credit for negligible body roll and impressive grip levels. The Tata Nexon EV’s ARAI-certified range stands at 312km on a single charge, which is calculated using fixed parameters under urban driving conditions.

Tata Nexon EV price in Nepal
Tata Motors extensively conducted an In-Market Testing (IMT) of the Nexon EV in the Nepalese terrain for at least 5000 km before its official launch. The Tata Nexon EV was rigorously tested across several terrains comprising multiple cities, unpaved roads, and different highways. The noteworthy point here is that Tata Motors also became the first company in Nepal to conduct such tests to help the company set up a complete EV ecosystem in terms of state-of-the-art infrastructure and charging stations.
Tata Nexon EV is undeniably the smoothest and most refined car with its zippy and very user-friendly, sprinting abilities and its sporty driving manners. It has other great features, like a sophisticated ride, ample space, comfort, and practicality. As an urban runabout, the Nexon EV is as good as it gets, and if your usage is restricted to intra-city commutes and you can arrange for a charging provision, the Nexon EV could be right up your alley.
