Tata Motors has streamlined the Nexon EV lineup by discontinuing the 40.5kWh battery pack variant. Previously available with three battery options—30kWh, 40.5kWh, and 45kWh—the Nexon EV will now be sold only with the 30kWh and 45kWh battery packs. This change simplifies the lineup while still offering buyers a choice between medium-range and long-range models.

What Has Changed?
The 40.5kWh battery pack was positioned as a mid-tier option, balancing range, power, and price. It featured a single electric motor producing 143bhp and 215Nm of torque. However, with the removal of this variant, customers now have to choose between the 30kWh and 45kWh versions.
Current Nexon EV Lineup
The Nexon EV is now available with two battery pack options:
| Battery Pack | Power Output | Torque | MIDC Range | Variant Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30kWh | 127bhp | 215Nm | 275km | Medium Range (MR) |
| 45kWh | 143bhp | 215Nm | 489km | Long Range (LR) |
This updated lineup ensures that customers can either opt for an affordable city-friendly model with the 30kWh battery or go for the 45kWh version for longer trips and better range.
Variants and Color Options
Tata continues to offer a variety of configurations, with seven different variants and eight color choices, allowing customers to personalize their Nexon EV. The removal of the 40.5kWh model does not affect other customization options.
Real-World Performance
While Tata claims an MIDC-certified range of 275km for the MR variant and 489km for the LR variant, real-world conditions can lead to slightly different numbers.

Why This Move?
The decision to remove the 40.5kWh battery pack may be driven by several factors:
- Simplified lineup – Fewer options make it easier for customers to choose the right model.
- Market demand – Buyers may have preferred the lower-cost MR variant or the higher-range LR model.
- Production efficiency – Reducing complexity in the manufacturing process can lead to cost savings and faster deliveries.
By discontinuing the 40.5kWh battery pack, Tata Motors has made the Nexon EV lineup more straightforward. Buyers can now choose between the budget-friendly 30kWh MR version or the high-range 45kWh LR model. With a strong feature set, multiple variants, and an attractive design, the Nexon EV remains a top contender in the Indian electric vehicle market.
