1. The Tata Nexon EV shares its underpinnings with the ICE Nexon available with petrol and diesel engines. As we've seen in more recent times, all updates made on the ICE Nexon extend to the Nexon EV too. Be it the new styling or the new alloy wheel design. When the automaker got rid of the audio buttons on the dashboard of the Nexon recently, it extended to the electric model as well.

The feature list is comprehensive with LED DRLs and taillights, electric sunroof, auto climate control, automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and more.
