What buyers ask

Which has the better real-world range?

ARAI rates the Nexon EV at 489 km and the iX at 635 km. Our real-world estimate (~75% of ARAI) puts them at 366 km vs 476 km respectively — the iX edges out by 110 km in mixed city + highway driving.

Which is cheaper to own over 5 years?

Both EVs run at roughly ₹1.0–1.5/km, so the 5-year ownership gap is driven by sticker price and depreciation. The Tata Nexon EV is ~₹127.41L cheaper to start, which typically translates to ₹1.2–1.5L lower 5-year TCO. Use the TCO calculator for your exact variant.

Which is faster to charge?

Peak DC rate is 70 kW for the Nexon EV vs 195 kW for the iX. 10–80% takes 40 min vs 35 min — the iX is faster on a long highway stop.
