The new Nexus EX+ arrives with a mid‑mounted 6.7‑hp motor that promises better hill climbing and pillion support, a step up from the 5‑hp units that dominated the segment last year. It can hit 93 km/h and tackle an 18‑degree incline, though those high‑speed figures are based on lab data, not on‑road testing.
At ₹1.30 lakh, the scooter slots in right between the Ola S1 Pro at ₹1.41 lakh and the Ather 450X at ₹2.15 lakh, giving buyers a cheaper option without cutting corners on performance. The price also keeps it in the range of the Tata Nexon EV‑S, but with a lighter, more agile chassis that favours urban manoeuvring.
Its 3‑kWh LFP pack delivers a 136‑km IDC range, but real‑world numbers dip when you hit top speed or carry a pillion. Charging takes about 3.1 hours from 0 to 80 %, and the charger itself is IP65‑rated for rain‑ready use. The battery comes with a five‑year, 75,000‑km warranty, offering a safety net that many competitors lack.
An optional Intellipack variant adds roughly ₹6,000 to the base price but unlocks a suite of connected services: live GPS tracking, geo‑fencing, remote diagnostics, and a battery‑health dashboard. The app does not require a subscription, but users should confirm whether all features are active out of the box.
The Nexus EX+ will hit Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru by the end of September, with a phased rollout in tier‑2 cities starting October. Buyers should ask dealers for a clear on‑road quote that includes mandatory accessories, as the ex‑showroom price is a baseline. Keep an eye on how the scooter performs in real traffic, especially on steep city routes, to gauge whether the added price for Intellipack is worth it.
