Tata Nexon EV Gets Advanced L2 ADAS in Latest Variants

Tata Motors has just redefined expectations in the electric SUV segment once again. With the introduction of Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the latest variants of the Nexon EV, the Indian automaker has stepped firmly into the future of smart, intuitive mobility. But this isn’t just a minor update, it's a significant leap forward in safety, tech integration, and user experience that makes the Nexon EV more than just an electric vehicle. It’s now one of the most advanced mainstream EVs available in the country.

Whether you're already part of India’s growing EV community or you're considering your first electric car, the new Nexon EV variants demand a closer look. Let’s unpack everything that’s changed, and why it matters.

Design & Interior 

While the exterior silhouette of the Nexon EV retains its familiar sporty and urban-focused character, the updates go deeper than what meets the eye. One of the key highlights in the new Empowered Plus A trim is the interior ambiance. Tata has introduced ambient lighting and rear window sunshades, both of which contribute to a more premium, cocooned feel, something increasingly important in India’s diverse and often intense climates.

In addition, the new Dark edition and Red Dark edition also incorporate these enhancements, allowing buyers to choose a more expressive design persona without compromising on tech.

Inside the cabin, Tata continues to offer a best-in-class infotainment experience with a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen system at the center. This upgrade complements the already robust 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, creating a truly immersive and driver-centric cockpit.

L2 ADAS: What Does It Really Mean?

Perhaps the most headline-grabbing update is the addition of Level 2 ADAS. This marks a significant milestone for mass-market EVs in India, and positions the Nexon EV as one of the most technologically advanced offerings in its price bracket.

So, what does L2 ADAS actually offer?

It’s not just marketing fluff. This suite includes practical, real-world features such as:

• Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning: Perfect for long highway drives, especially on India’s variable road conditions.

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Forward Collision Warning: A major safety net, especially in unpredictable urban traffic.

• Traffic Sign Recognition and High Beam Assist: Adds intelligence to daily driving.

• Lane Centering System: Ensures your vehicle stays planted in its lane without drifting, even during subtle curves.

With these tools, drivers are supported in both proactive and reactive scenarios, making commutes safer and more controlled.

Performance and Battery

Mechanically, the Nexon EV remains unchanged, and that’s a good thing. The existing powertrain setup was already one of the most balanced offerings in the segment. It continues to be powered by a 45kWh battery pack coupled with a single permanent magnet synchronous motor.

This combination produces 143 bhp and 215 Nm of torque, more than enough for confident overtakes and uphill climbs. The real-world drivability remains strong, and Tata’s focus on tuning ensures both city and highway manners are well-suited for Indian roads.

Most importantly, the claimed range of 489 km on a single charge (as per MIDC) makes it practical for both urban dwellers and long-distance explorers. And now with V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) capabilities, the Nexon EV isn’t just a commuter, it’s an energy hub.

Features Breakdown

If you thought the Nexon EV was already loaded with features, this update pushes it even further into premium territory. Highlights include:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen with seamless interface

• Voice-assisted panoramic sunroof

• Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

• 9-speaker JBL audio system

• Ventilated front seats

• Wireless phone charger

• 360-degree camera system

This is in addition to the existing premium touches such as automatic climate control, a digital driver's display, and now, rear sun blinds and ambient lighting for a complete experience.

Safety Features: 6 Airbags and More

Tata has always taken safety seriously, and the Nexon EV continues this legacy. Apart from the structural integrity and standard 6 airbags, the inclusion of electronic stability control (ESC), ISOFIX child seat mounts, and the newly added ADAS features make it one of the safest EVs you can buy in India.

It’s worth noting that the Nexon has consistently performed well in Global NCAP ratings in its ICE avatar, and this electric variant shares the same platform philosophy.

Final Thoughts

The Indian EV landscape is evolving fast, but very few brands are moving the needle like Tata Motors. With the addition of Level 2 ADAS to the Nexon EV, Tata has not only raised the bar for its own lineup but has issued a clear challenge to competitors in the mid-range EV segment.

The combination of futuristic tech, practical range, robust performance, and comprehensive safety, now topped with intelligent driver assistance, makes the Nexon EV an even more compelling proposition.

If you're someone who wants to future-proof your purchase, or simply want more peace of mind while navigating India's dynamic roads, the new Nexon EV variants are worth serious consideration. Tata Motors isn’t just building cars, it’s building confidence, one smart feature at a time.
