Tata Nexon has achieved a milestone, with 2,000 units of the EV sold in a little over 10 months of the stylish SUV’s launch. The Nexon EV reached the sales mark of 2200 units in November.
Shailesh Chandra, President of the Passenger Vehicle Business Unit at Tata Motors, said the moment is of great pride for the company. He said the Tata Nexon EV has captured the imagination of the entire nation and has consistently led the way for the electric vehicle segment.
“Offering thrilling performance, connected drive experience with zero emissions and at an attractive pricing, the Nexon EV has found widespread acceptance among its customers,” Chandra said. “This growing demand is on the back of increased awareness, growing charging infrastructure, encouraging government incentives, breaking myths that surrounds EVs, and most importantly the undisputed benefits that it offers.”
Chandra pointed out that with the continued support from the government, in terms of incentives such as benefits on registration and road tax, the company hopes that EVs will soon become the most desirable and a mainstream choice for the customers in India.
The Tata Nexon EV was introduced in three trims, i.e. XM, XZ+ and XZ+ Lux. Pricing of the base XM trim remains unchanged at Rs 13.99 lakh. The XZ+ and XZ+ Lux have become a little costlier at Rs 15.25 lakh and Rs 16.25 lakh, respectively – all ex-showroom.
