Motor Type: Permanent Magnet Synchronous (FWD)
The Nexon.ev utilizes a high-efficiency Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor mounted on the front axle. For 2026, the motor has been refined for better thermal management, allowing for more consistent performance during long highway stretches in peak Indian summers.
Max Power: 144 PS (45 kWh) / 129 PS (30 kWh)
The Long Range (45 kWh) variant produces 144 PS, while the Medium Range (30 kWh) version offers 129 PS. The power delivery is instantaneous, providing the signature "EV kick" that makes city overtakes effortless.
Max Torque: 215 Nm
Regardless of the battery size, the motor delivers a flat 215 Nm of torque from zero RPM. This high torque density allows the Nexon.ev to maintain its composure even when fully loaded with five passengers and luggage.
Battery Capacity: 45 kWh (Long Range) / 30 kWh (Medium Range)
The 2026 lineup is headlined by the new 45 kWh High Energy Density LFP battery, replacing the older 40 kWh unit. The 30 kWh pack remains the entry point, catering to urban commuters. Both packs are IP67 rated for water and dust resistance.
Range: 489 km (MIDC) / ~350-375 km (Real World)
The 45 kWh variant boasts a certified range of 489 km. In real-world conditions (city + highway), it reliably delivers 350–375 km. The Medium Range variant offers a certified 325 km, with a real-world expectation of ~230 km.
0-100 km/h Time: 8.9 Seconds (Long Range)
The Nexon.ev 45 is a sprinter, hitting 0-100 km/h in just 8.9 seconds. This brisk acceleration is supported by four levels of Regenerative Braking, controlled via steering-mounted paddle shifters.
Top Speed: 150 km/h
Top speed is electronically limited to 150 km/h to optimize battery efficiency. The vehicle remains exceptionally stable at triple-digit speeds thanks to the low center of gravity provided by the floor-mounted batteries.
