The compact SUV has an upgraded exterior compared to the regular IC-engine powered Nexon and it comes with several interesting technologies on board that will harbinger a range of new zero-emission vehicles.

We all know the instantaneous torque delivery of the electrified vehicles with immediate push on the throttle and it really sets the EVs apart from their regular counterparts. The Nexon EV does it with ease and is claimed to accelerate from zero to 100 kmph in just under ten seconds while the zero to 60 kmph lunge is deal with in less than four seconds.

The front-wheel-driven SUV uses a 30.2 kWh IP67-certified battery pack and permanent magnet synchronous electric motor with the nominal voltage of 320 V.

It is rated to generate a maximum power output of 129 PS and 245 Nm of peak torque.
