The SUV will do over 312km on a full charge as per the ARAI, a real-world range of around 240km can be expected in the real world.
There is a single-speed gearbox with two drive mode options, Drive and Sport. In the Sport mode, there is a torque boost of up to 60 per cent to give you the full 245Nm. Through a DC fast charger, the Nexon EV will reach 80 per cent capacity in 60 minutes. The car can also be plugged into any standard power socket, which takes eight hours to get from 20 to 80 per cent charge.
