And OVERDRIVE has done it again, they have managed to get the least range from the NEXON EV reviews. Congratulations!
Strangely every other reviewer managed more than 200 km and showed on trip meter, but OVERDRIVE didn't... something fishy....
Vijayawada Tube I think they did mostly highway driving. With no regeneration.
Vijayawada Tube this is a reply I posted to another comment, and I hope it answers your concern too:
As I mentioned in the review on multiple occasions, our drive was a combination of highway, twisties (S-mode) and the city (Drive-mode) - and it’s only the latter which maximises range on an EV. We have added images of the starting and ending odometer and battery readings of the onboard computers to give you a fair idea of the range WE got. As I also mentioned, we will need to road test this car to get specific figures for pure city and pure highway driving cycles, like we do for ICE cars. While I do not wish to comment on what other reviews are saying about the range, I would like to draw your attention to the drive itinerary that Tata had planned for us. The drive was 27kms one way - from the Tata Lake House in Pune to the Oxford Golf Course - and for a time period of 4-5 hours including shooting time. All static shots were shot with the powertrain turned off. So I wonder who drove for 200kms on a single charge and where, to validate the onboard figures. We insisted to Tata and did drive longer than the planned itinerary to see how far the battery lasted on this mixed driving cycle of ours before it raised the flags. I hope that explains it for you. After all, my job is to give you the perspective - as a consumer, it’s your money on the line, so choose wisely.
Don't know what to make of overdrive When every other reviewer is getting 200+ range overdrive gets only 115+. Are they biased against EV or Tata or just plain incompetent. @Overdrive need to explain this.
Prashanth Kumar well, as I mentioned in the review on multiple occasions, our drive was a combination of highway, twisties (S-mode) and the city (Drive-mode) - and it’s only the latter which maximises range on an EV.

rashrp Good info bro...
@@rohit_paradkar u r awesome
@@rohit_paradkar Thanks for explaining the background of the constraints you were working with. But I am afraid, when you review a car that has the potential to genuinely revolutionise the auto sector in India from perspective of electric cars, what viewers of your videos would expect you to do would be to check exactly from a 100% full charge to an empty battery. Else you are not doing justice to the hundreds of engineers who toil to get a product like this out in the market, nor to the policy makers who hear the wrath from lobbyists for ICU engines and least to the viewers who genuinely look forward to you to exactly state the battery range for this car. Probably, in the hurry to hit UA-cam first with such videos, these genuine pointers are being overlooked, which is very disappointing. The least that could have been done is to explain these constraints in the video itself and not have us figure this out from the comments. Apologies if this sounded rude, but we come to see your review videos for a reason that you generally are unbiased. So we are going to react this way whenever we find that you are deviating from it :)
@@rohit_paradkar I guess OD should see the video put out by Zig Wheels who specifically tested the Nexon for range with total abuse. Your review here does not explain the kind of ranges you got. In fact, Zigwheels also took the car on the highway, with passengers, load and ran the AC most of the time ....
U hv an attitude like Dhoni... u dont unnecessarily feels excited and become crazy for advertising cars..
u feel settle and share ur reviews very well.
Shared lot of practical things that u hv live with for next 5-8 yrs..
Earned one more subscriber... kudos to ur effort
The way reviewer has explained things is good. But, need more information how was the driving to get such a low range?
Other reviewner showed us 200+ mileage
As automotive journalists you people are equally responsible as automakers in the transitions towards Electric
In educating and convincing or selling Evs with geniune comparision with what people pay for what they get
And make People more sensible with their car buying now
This seems to be a good job but it needs to be scaled to another level
To an extent of viewers choosing this EV over the venue or creta which might be no better than this for the money they pour in and they experience of ownership and the Car driving or chauffeuring experience you get!! What if creta is a segment higher and compares to this on price the measurables for what you get and what is actually required should change for sustainability!!!
If someone has to compromise a bit of space and bit of luxury for going EV way they should be convinced by your reviews this is the whole intension of me writing this
Overall investment and Cost of ownership i hope will be comparable to the cars of price bracket a notch lower
With most of the urban users who use this car in the city most of the time
It makes a lot of sence
With a fast charger installed at every pass by bay on highways this would make even better sense!!
Hope they outsell the undeserving ICE cars and hope Tata have made a reliable product without range depletion!
With most of the highways with 120 speed limit it is a way of limiting carsfrom overspeding
Idiot
The only reviewer who said 115-120 kms range for nexon versus tata’s marketing of 250+ kms. Keep up the great work overdrive and don’t change
I'm looking to Book the Tata Nexon ev
I have only one question.
If I drive at 40 kmh. On highway and city and charge the car at a restaurant. For an hour will i be able to travel 240 km.
I have to make this trip once a month.
My daily travel is 100 km.
Should I book it
This car gives ~180km on highways when driving at speeds of around 80kmph,this review isn’t right for range,because he didn’t show the odo after driving.At 60kmph speed you get ~200km of range.In cities it comes down to your driving the best we have seen is 238km never got the range below 210 on full charge in city.
If your daily driving is 100 you can get it.
Tata have the potential to spread their charging network in all over the India...
Nexon ev is a superb car.
Please explain about the battery if any damage is it replaced sir
Hi Sir, i m going to ask you a Question in case some where electricity is not available on that moment may i use small generator to get charge the battery ?
A well detailed review by Rohit and team Overdrive. As Rohit mentioned, range is always a concern for EVs. I don't think an EV can completely eliminate the range anxiety of people. I would still prefer a petrol or diesel. A EV cannot give the peace of mind like an ICE if you wanna go for a road trip.
Anoop Prasad that is true. Even with cars that have larger batteries and claim 400+kms of range, range anxiety is still a concern. The question to answer here is, how many times will you go road tripping with your car. If it’s primarily being bought for city use, an EV with 150-200km range will make sense and MAYBE you could look at a self-driven rental car/SUV for the occasional road trip.
@@rohit_paradkarTrue, Most of us buy a car for city use primarily. But there are people including me, who keeps going long distances often. In my case, I live in Bangalore and keep driving down to my home town Trivandrum. The distance is around 720km which I can cover in 10hrs. Even if the EV gives 400kms range, it is not sufficient. Though you can charge it while taking your break during the journey, how much does it get topped up in such a short time. As you said, for people who never drives out of the city and only use their car for city commutes, an EV does make sense.
Sell it in the USA or Europe. At 17000 dollars, it will be a hit.
No piano black does not gets old so easily.
Please answer.I like ev. But it is too early to tell battery life. Nissan leaf report huge battery capacity loss after 2 years usage . In very hot climate lithium ion battery simply lose capacity very fast.. what tech Tata is using here to protect battery capacity ???
Liquid cooling.
I think you are paid by MG.
Worst negative review don't degrade products unnecessarily
Most biased review. Also they didn't show the range proof like other good reviews.
Overdrive u again hated tata cars...
But we as a TATA CAR owner just love them...
Dr Amarsinh Sawant I don’t see any hate speech in my review 🧐
First time indian manufacturers has a head start against all the Japanese & European manufacturers and the car is aren't bad either.
Long time but great one!👍🏻
Everyone else got more than 150km range. Not sure why you got just about 100Km range.
Regen has no real impact on overall range. In fact, highway should give you higher range than city even in EVs. Except - THe speed.. In cities you may do lower speeds and EVs give better range with lower speeds, as the energy needed to cancel the drag is lesser.
So, what matters most is the speed - city or highway. In City, regen may improve the range you'd otherwise get in city, but on highway, if you keep a steady speed of 60-80km, and check the range you'd see far higher mileage than City, where you'd never cross averages of 60km normally.
@Overdrive..This is a well detailed and thorough review!!!
This car is damn good start for the ev revolution. However..
If you do the math considering current EV range vs price ratio...CNG cars make much more sense...They cost just 60-70k over regular petrol and cost recovery duration is 1.5-2yrs..CNG fuel is much greener than petrol and diesel.
What are your thoughts on this?
CNG isn't that different in CO2 emissions from petrol, and it's the CO2 that's causing the global warming. Electrics are also more liberating if you have your own house, you don't waste time at the petrol pump since it charges overnight and they offer much better drive experience in the city.
Also everyone is overlooking the maintenance cost of ice cars. Electric are practically zero maintenance. No engine oil, clutch plate, timing belt, filters etc. You have to consider that and not just fuel cost
great buy considering the price,200 km is great for an ev
While I do agree with most commenters here regarding the faulty range (and I have read the OD "explanation", it is just a lame comment) that Overdrive managed to extract from the Nexon EV, even the other reviewers made a basic mistake of driving the car like an IC engine car. I am driving the E2O for last six years. Company claimed range = 100 kms,
Everyday driving range = 110+ kms.
EVs need to be driven as EVs. Period.
Another thing, going on the highways (eg from Pune to Mumbai) is a great regeneration opportunity, opposite to what all the reviewers are saying, that regen is good only for the city. It is better on the highways.
I really like the presentation & clarity part you put in ur videos👍🏻
100 km really?
When everyone else got close to 170-200 how come you got only 100
Usually all ev gets 80-100km per 15kw
You are either sold out like 99% of Indian media or you don't know how to drive.
I think it is because of his mistake in mathematical calculations.recently i heard that overdrive has raised his salary to double,but is credited only bi monthly.hope hes very happy with that
@@abinsjohn may be studied at the same school as modi
@@cyrilelanjithara6284 i think they have a special department for degrading tata cars
They must have run ac in stand still all day for recording videos and planning things.
@@SripalTAD whatever you do, 100km is not possible from a 30kw battery it will be minimum 150 unless they did something really wrong or most probably they are biased and showed a wrong figure.
Every one in their review has got range 200+ range but overdrive is still fake
100 km on full charge? and Rs 2 per km?
We also save money on engine oil clutches and servicing a lot
Isse Tata se personal problem hai.
Itna negative review itni ache product ka
Please do comparison for the newest cars Hyundai Kona EV ,MG ZS EV , TATA Nexon EV
AS USUAL POOR REVIEW...👌👌 EVERYONE ELSE EASILY GETTING 200KM +, WITH SOME CARE, 240/250KM IS GETTABLE.. YET, WITH APPARENTLY SEDATE LOOKING DRIVE YOU WHERE TRYING TO PROVE THAT, RANGE IS LESS THAN TIGOR EV..😅.
COOL EFFORTS.
Why is he Nexon bashing from the beginning of the video?? Bro that's a very smartly priced EV amongst the ones present in the market..stop giving biased reviews 🙏
Tata is always best in India
TATA is back.
According to this guy the range is around 100km ,I don’t get it??
I was looking to this ev coz of high ground clearance but looks like the range is pretty low
Any ev will give 80-100 km per 15kw
You will get 160-200 for sure
These Indian reviewers are just waste
You should watch the review by Zigwheels.. they have done rough driving and performance tests.. still they got close to 200kms
Interestingly, you didn’t mention if it’s a FWD, RWD or AWD. Basically, in the EV terms, you didn’t mention if it has a single motor placed on front Axle or rear axle, or dual motors one placed on each axle.
Excellent review covering all the essential areas.. Well done Rohit
Aravind S thank you 🙏🏼
This is the most biased review i've seen so far!
Check it out in Faisal Khan channel he done well
Hyundai owns overdrive
14:44 India mostly depends on thermal power for electricity HOW IS DRIVING A EV ,GUILT FREE AFFAIR .
Pls tell the price
17lac
Excellent review!
EV's simply too short legged. A car should have long legs ideally and ICE rules. Until batteries can catch up to hydrocarbons on energy density , no point n going for EV. May be Hybrids but they are expensive.
Very negative approach of the anchor
Nice review
🤔Real world driving range of only 200 km isn't sufficient.
You're not gonna drive 200km in a single day. Every day commutes avarage about 60km - 100km.
@@kirupakaran7765 Every 2nd or 3rd day u need to plug it in...If you are charging at home it will take 8 hours to charge.
charge it overnight bro
@@chetanmazire5373 I know this bro...I am just sharing my opinion
Anyway I am living in a Society and there's no plug point available in our parking 😑
Tata said that they will build an output where you live..!!
150 odd kms of real world range? that's horrible... as much as i love the look of this EV, the real world range is too horrible.. this will feel like a toy nothing else.
Please watch the review of zigwheels or car dekho, they are saying that you can easily get +200 . I don't know how he managed to get 100 🧐
Super 👌 sir
Tata has really done a good job with this car... nd we are least bother of what you like nd wat u don't.. tell the reality don't put ur personal opinion in a public review..
Overdrive try to make a best with your anchors.. this guy is really irritating attitude irritating f.......
Mr. Do you own this car ?
Pay 17lac and drive for 115km range
What nonsense
drive a petrol/diesel car and ruin your future.
If you don't like EVs right now wait for a year or two definitely cheaper long range EVs are going to come. EVs for a better future.
just watch reviews of other people and range will increase to 200 :)
If u keep running ac all day sitting in the car and record videos and editing it
@@kirupakaran7765 its 200+ by other reviewers
This guy is always... always being nasty towards TATA, no matter what the car is, no matter how much progress our homegrown brands do. He keeps on pulling them down. I am disappointed in Overdrive for the very biased reviews. This guy probably was fired by TATA motors at some point
Yep happens with every Tata car review done by Overdrive. Just watch their Hexa review 3 years back. These guys popping out the tweeters of the cars and complaining of scratches on plastic cladding. With 30,000 Hexas sold haven't read or heard from owners about the issues which Overdrive managed to find in the first drive review.
Worst reviewer and channel ever...all other 200 kms ranges..u people are getting 100..go to driving school again..
Maruthi learn how to make cars from tata
What a joke
@@muskit770 whatswrong build quality, interiors, steering feedback everything in tata is better than maruthi
@@srinivascnu6977 test drive a swift in Europe... 5 star rating on EuroNCAP, not the GlobalNCAP which Tata passed. Suzuki's ( and all Japanese vehicles) are damn reliable. You can still see 30+ years old M800's and Gypsy's on the road. You are lucky if your TATA vehicle survives for 10 years.
