The dust and water proof battery pack is liquid cooled for Indian conditions and placed underneath the vehicle body, giving the SUV a center of gravity more akin to that of a sedan or a hatchback.

The vehicle comes with two drive mode options – Drive & Sport. It uses smart drive tech features – regenerative braking to charge the battery while coasting, hill ascent & descent assist to make driving on slopes more convenient and smart regen with creep feature for congested city traffic.

Claimed range is “more than” 300km (200 miles) on a single charge with zero emissions. When plugged into a Fast DC Charger, the Nexon EV will replenish 80% battery capacity within 60 minutes. It can also be charged from any 15 amp domestic plug point.

The new EV offers 35 mobile app based connected features, ranging from remote commands, vehicle tracking, driving behaviour analytics, navigation and remote diagnostics. The ZConnect App enables owners to locate nearby charging points, TML service stations, set-up speed alerts, track vehicle location and many more features.
