Tata Nexon EV to Launch with Level 2 ADAS Features in Top Variants
Tata Motors is gearing up to launch a new Nexon EV lineup with a facelift, led by the newly launched Empowered+ A 45. Placed above the current Empowered 45 and Empowered Plus 45 variants, this top-of-the-line model will feature Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)—something the Nexon EV does not have at present.
With the prices of the existing trims being between ₹15.99 lakh and ₹17.19 lakh (ex-showroom), the inclusion of ADAS is likely to yield a modest hike while remaining competitive with its competitors.
Even before the ADAS upgrade, Empowered trims already provided a premium set: JBL audio system with subwoofer, 360-degree surround camera with blind spot monitoring, voice-activated panoramic sunroof, ventilated leatherette seats, V2V and V2L charging, and Arcade.
EV app suite, and a 31.24 cm cinematic touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The inclusion of semi-autonomous features will enhance the SUV's positioning in the market even more.
The Nexon EV’s new ADAS suite is designed to make driving safer and less fatiguing, especially on highways. Key features will include:
Adaptive cruise control
Lane keep assist and lane departure warning
Forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking
Traffic sign recognition
High beam assist
These technologies bring the Nexon EV closer in capability to much costlier SUVs, setting a benchmark in the segment.
Special models like the Dark Edition and Red Dark Edition will still be available, with blacked-out trim, red elements, and a premium finish—now with ADAS included.
Mechanically, the SUV is the same, employing the 45 kWh battery pack with a real-world range of 350–375 km and fast charging from 20–80% in 20 minutes. It churns out 143 PS and 215 Nm, taking 0–100 km/h in 8.9 seconds. Tata also comes with a lifetime warranty on the high-voltage battery, a differentiation point in its segment.
