Pros

What works in its favour

Best for buyers who want the Nexon EV's shape, space and safety rating at the lowest price, and whose driving fits a 275 km claimed battery with 50 kW charging.

  • Buyers who want the cheapest way into India's most familiar electric SUV — the Creative Plus MR opens the Nexon EV range at ₹12.49 lakh ex-showroom, against ₹14.34 lakh for the 45 kWh Creative
  • City and suburban drivers — a 30 kWh battery claimed at 275 km, a 350-litre boot and 205 mm of unladen ground clearance on the same 3,995 mm body as the rest of the range
  • Safety-first buyers on a budget — six airbags, ESC, TPMS, hill assist and hill descent control are standard, and the Nexon EV holds a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating for both adult and child occupants

Cons

What to watch before you buy

  • DC charging is capped at 50 kW for 10-80% in 56 minutes — slower than the 45 kWh versions, which CarDekho lists on a 60 kW charger. A 7.2 kW wall box takes 4 hours 18 minutes for 10-100%, and a 15 A plug point takes 10 hours 30 minutes.
  • 275 km is the claimed India-cycle figure, not a WLTP or EPA number, so plan for meaningfully less in real use.
  • This is a near-base trim: a 7-inch touchscreen with four speakers, a 7-inch digital cluster, fabric seats, 16-inch wheels with covers rather than alloys, rear sensors and a rear camera only, and no sunroof or ventilated seats.
  • CarDekho renders every ADAS row on this variant page blank, and lists Level-1 ADAS only against the Empowered Plus A 45 trims — treat driver assistance as absent here and confirm at the dealer.
