Nexon EV Experienxe

I chose the base model, i.e., the XM variant. The car got delivered on time. In fact initially I was appraised of a waiting period of 3 months but eventually the car got delivered within 15 days only. Driving this car is as as easy as it could get. It is really smooth, noise and vibration free car. Range anxiety will be there for now, until proper infra is developed. However once one get habituated with the required driving style, i.e., feather touch with accelerator and brakes and properly using the regeneration, then this car can give mileage as high as 280km in the winter. In the summer the range drops significantly, in my case to 220-230km. Charging time is quite annoying and if someone is not having proper wiring and at least 4kw meter connection at their household, they must do it before purchasing the car. Overall the car is comfortable, rear seat and leg space quite decent, however the slight bulge at the middle of the back seat base could have been avoided. Few features like anti-glare mirror, speed sensing lock, electric ORVM, rear wiper and camera could have been added considering it to be a high value car. Although these are available in the higher variants. Also the interior could have been a bit modern. Conclusion: if your max requirement is city drive and that too at least 50-60km per day on an average, then this is the best car for you. On the other hand if you love to go for long drives then time hasn't arrived yet to switch onto electric.
