Tata Motors has introduced a groundbreaking upgrade to its popular Nexon EV, integrating cutting-edge Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) into the Indian market. This high-tech addition is exclusively available on the premium Empowered +A 45 variant, priced at Rs. 17.29 lakh (ex-showroom). Alongside this, Tata has launched the stylish #DARK and Red #DARK editions, both equipped with the same ADAS technology, priced at Rs. 17.49 lakh (ex-showroom). These new variants combine futuristic safety features with a bold aesthetic, elevating the Nexon EVโs appeal in the electric SUV segment.
Enhanced Safety with Level 2 ADAS
The Level 2 ADAS suite in the Nexon EV brings a host of intelligent safety features designed to make driving safer and more intuitive. These include:
- Traffic Sign Recognition: Automatically detects and displays road signs to keep drivers informed.
- Lane Centering System: Ensures the vehicle stays centered within its lane.
- Lane Departure Warning: Alerts drivers if the vehicle drifts out of its lane.
- Lane Keep Assist: Actively corrects the vehicleโs path to prevent lane departure.
- Forward Collision Warning: Detects potential collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles.

- High Beam Assist: Switches between high and low beams based on oncoming traffic for optimal visibility.
Premium Features and Exclusive Editions
In addition to the ADAS technology, Tata has introduced two new features to enhance the cabin experience: a rear window sunshade for added comfort and ambient lighting to create a sophisticated interior atmosphere. The Empowered +A 45 #DARK variant stands out with its sleek all-black exterior and matching black leatherette seats, exuding a premium and exclusive vibe. The Red #DARK edition adds a vibrant twist while maintaining the same high-end appeal.
The Nexon EV continues to hold its prestigious 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating, reinforcing its position as one of the safest electric SUVs in India. It also comes with a lifetime high-voltage (HV) battery warranty for the first owner, ensuring long-term reliability.
Power and Performance
The Nexon EV with ADAS is powered by a robust 45 kWh battery pack, delivering an impressive real-world driving range of 350โ370 km under C75 testing conditions. Charging is efficient, with the ability to go from 20% to 80% in just 40 minutes, or add 150 km of range in a mere 15 minutes. This makes it an ideal choice for both city commutes and long-distance journeys.
