Tata Nexon EV with Level 2 ADAS – Launch Soon: Tata Motors is once again raising the benchmark in India’s compact-SUV EV segment. The much-loved Nexon EV is set to receive a significant technology enhancement with the introduction of Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in its top-end variants. This update will make the Nexon EV one of the most feature-packed and advanced electric SUVs in its category.
Empowered+ A 45: The Flagship Nexon EV
The highlight of this upgrade is the new Empowered+ A 45 variant, which will now sit at the very top of the Nexon EV lineup. It builds upon the existing Empowered 45 and Empowered Plus 45 trims, which currently retail between ₹15.99 lakh and ₹17.19 lakh (ex-showroom). While the addition of Level 2 ADAS will likely bring a modest price increase, Tata Motors aims to keep the pricing competitive in the under-₹20 lakh EV SUV segment.
Premium Features Already on Offer
Even before the ADAS upgrade, the Empowered trims were loaded with premium equipment such as:
- JBL sound system with subwoofer
- 360° surround-view camera with blind-spot monitoring
- Voice-assisted panoramic sunroof
- Ventilated leatherette seats
- V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) charging
- Arcade. EV app suite
- 31.24 cm (12.3″) cinematic touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
Level 2 ADAS Capabilities
The Nexon EV will soon offer semi-autonomous driving functions designed to improve safety and reduce driver fatigue. Key ADAS features include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Keep Assist (LKA) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- High Beam Assist
These features promise greater convenience and safety on highways, while bringing the Nexon EV closer to premium SUVs in terms of technology.
Battery and Performance
The Empowered+ A 45 will continue to use the robust 45 kWh battery pack, delivering a real-world driving range of 350–375 km. Fast charging will allow the battery to charge from 20% to 80% in around 20 minutes.
Performance figures remain unchanged:
- Power: 106 kW (143 PS)
- Torque: 215 Nm
- Acceleration (0–100 km/h): 8.9 seconds
Additionally, Tata Motors continues to offer a lifetime warranty on the high-voltage battery, giving it a strong edge in customer confidence.
Special Editions for Added Appeal
The Dark Edition and Red Dark Edition will also continue alongside the new update. With their stylish blacked-out design, red accents, and premium finishes, these variants will now combine visual distinction with the enhanced safety of ADAS.
What does this mean for Buyers?
The launch of Level 2 ADAS in the Nexon EV reflects Tata Motors’ commitment to customer safety and advanced technology. By offering premium features, a strong performance package, and advanced driver assistance at an accessible price, the Nexon EV Empowered+ variants are set to become the benchmark in the under-₹20 lakh electric SUV category. While a completely new-generation Nexon EV built on a fresh platform is expected in the coming years, this upgrade ensures the current model remains modern, competitive, and future-ready.
