A Tata Nexon EV owner decide to take his new vehicle on an off-roading trip which was much shorter than he expected.
The Tata Nexon EV is the company’s all-electric vehicle. Previously, it had launched the Tigor EV. The electric motor on the car offers 129PS/ 245Nm of torque. It is paired with single-speed automatic transmission and gets two driving modes: Drive and Sport. However, the electric vehicle is not really suitable for tough conditions. While it can handle the daily tasks efficiently, you don’t want to get adventurous with this car. A customer discovered this the hard way when he went to an off-roading site with his Nexon EV.

This video makes it clear that the electric car has a long way to go before it can carry you through rough terrains. While the new Nexon EV has the same dimensions as the standard model, owing to the position of the battery pack, the ground clearance is 4mm lower than the standard Nexon at 205mm. The new 16-inch alloys are lighter at each corner by almost a kilo. Tell us what you think of the Tata Nexon EV off-roading trip.
