Next-generation Nexon EV has been spotted on a flatbed truck, following earlier sightings of its ICE counterpart
Tata Motors’ next-generation Nexon testing programme has offered its first look at the electric version. While the prototypes ,the latest spy shots show a heavily camouflaged Nexon EV being transported on a flatbed truck. The elevated position exposes its underbody, with a battery enclosure and orange high-voltage cables providing the clearest clues to its electric powertrain.
Battery Pack Visible Underneath
The biggest highlight of this sighting is the battery enclosure visible beneath the passenger compartment. Orange electrical cables can also be seen near the front of the enclosure, just behind the front wheel. The new body gives Tata an opportunity to improve packaging alongside any changes to battery pack, efficiency, performance and charging.
2027 Nexon gets a flatter roofline, a more upright tailgate and a less coupe-like rear profile. On this vehicle, the front doors, outside mirrors and prominent wheel arches are visible beneath the patterned wrap. Conventional pull-type door handles can also be seen. Additional fabric covers conceal the rear doors, roof and much of the tailgate, keeping the finer styling details hidden.
The more upright proportions could help improve rear-seat headroom and luggage space. In the EV, however, the final cabin layout and floor height will also depend on how the battery is accommodated. This prototype wears five-spoke wheels, unlike the on another Nexon test vehicle in September.
Current Nexon EV Offers Up To 489 Km Claimed Range
Current Nexon EV is priced in the range of Rs 12.49 lakh to Rs 17.89 lakh, ex-showroom. It is offered with 30 kWh and 45 kWh battery options. The smaller battery version produces around 127 bhp and has a claimed range of 325 km. The 45 kWh version delivers around 143 bhp, with a claimed range of 489 km. Both support fast charging.
Previous interior spy shots of an ICE prototype showed familiar Nexon components, including the steering wheel, infotainment screen and climate controls. The next-generation Nexon is expected to arrive in 2027.
With the electric version now spotted, development appears to be progressing alongside the ICE model. But before the next gen Nexon EV arrives, Tata is expected to launch the Safari EV and Aeris EV. Unconfirmed reports suggest Safari EV is due for launch next month, while Aeris EV will launch early 2027.
