The Tata Nexon EV has been available via the marque’s subscription service since August 2020, when Tata Motors partnered with Orix India to introduce it. Mooted as an alternative for those opposed to the idea of buying a car outright, Tata has now introduced updates to the scheme, including a significant reduction in the monthly subscription fees.
- Monthly rental fees reduced by up to Rs 12,500
- The new price range varies between Rs 29,500-40,400
- Introduction of two monthly driving range caps: 2,000km and 2,500km
- The compact SUV can be subscribed for the tenure of 12, 24, or 36 months.
Let’s take a closer look at what the update brings.
