Tata Nexon EV: Tata Motors is preparing to strengthen its popular electric SUV with a significant upgrade. The Nexon EV, already one of India’s most successful compact electric SUVs, will soon receive Level 2 ADAS features in a new top-spec variant. This will not only enhance its appeal but also position it ahead of rivals in terms of advanced driver assistance technology.
Tata Nexon EV ADAS Features in the New Variant
The new variant, called the Nexon EV Empowered+ A, will bring advanced safety and convenience features. Based on the already well-equipped Empowered+ trim, the addition of ADAS makes it the first sub-4-metre EV in India to get such technology.
Key ADAS features expected include:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Forward collision warning and autonomous emergency braking
- Lane departure warning and lane-keep assist
- Traffic sign recognition and high-beam assist
- Driver drowsiness detection
- Rear cross-traffic alert and collision warning
Tata Nexon EV Battery and Range
The ADAS suite will only be offered with the larger 45kWh battery pack version of the Nexon EV. This battery option delivers:

- Real-world range: 350–375 km
- Powertrain: 145hp and 215Nm torque motor
The Nexon EV is also available with a 30kWh option, offering a 275 km ARAI-certified range, but the ADAS upgrade will not extend to this version.
Pricing Expectations for the Tata Nexon EV Empowered+ A
The new ADAS-equipped model will be priced above the existing top variant. The Nexon EV Empowered+ 45 is priced at Rs 16.99 lakh. The Red Dark edition costs Rs 17.19 lakh (ex-showroom). With ADAS, the new variant should cost Rs 17.75–17.99 lakh.
This competitive pricing helps the Nexon EV undercut rivals such as the MG Windsor Essence Pro, which costs Rs 18.39 lakh.

Apart from the ADAS upgrade, the Nexon EV continues to impress with a long list of premium features:
- JBL sound system with subwoofer

- Ventilated front seats
- Voice-assisted panoramic sunroof
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- V2V and V2L charging capabilities
- Arcade.ev app suite and cinematic touchscreen
Final Thought
The Tata Nexon EV has already been a strong performer in the Indian EV market, and the addition of Level 2 ADAS takes it to the next level. By introducing advanced safety and semi-autonomous features at a competitive price, Tata Motors is once again setting benchmarks in the electric SUV segment. The Nexon EV Empowered+ A offers a strong battery range, a feature-rich cabin, and a new ADAS suite, attracting buyers who want a safer, smarter, and more future-ready electric vehicle.
