Which Tata Nexon EV variant should you buy?
There are 6 ways to buy a Nexon EV, across 4 trims, from ₹12.49L to ₹17.49L ex-showroom Delhi.
Pound for pound the ladder pays best at Fearless: ₹1.30L more than Creative, and it is the step that hands back the most kit for the money.
Above that, the one to think hardest about is Empowered. At ₹2.35L over Fearless it asks the most per feature of anything higher up the range, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.
How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.

Where the kit that matters lands
- Airbags: all 6 are standard from the base Creative, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety kit: Empowered+, from ₹17.49L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best. Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.
- Automatic: the cheapest is the Creative Electric AT at ₹12.49L. See it
Then there is the engine
Picking the trim is only half of it. The Nexon EV is sold with 2 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
