When Tata Motors rebranded the Nexon EV as the Nexon EV Prime, they added a few new features to it too. Now, existing Nexon EV owners can access these new features through a software update. These new features include cruise control and multi-regen modes.
Initially, we were skeptical about whether this software update would indeed add features like cruise control and multi-regen modes to the older Nexon EV, owing to the lack of physical controls for these operations. However, it turns out that Tata Motors have found a way to integrate the controls for these features into the multi information display of the older Nexon EVs.
It is worth noting that Tata are offering the new software update via their dealerships by appointing dates to the customers.

Once the software update is installed, Nexon EV users can set the speed for the cruise control and regenerative braking levels via steering-mounted controls. In addition to these features, the OTA update also brings smartwatch connectivity and tyre pressure sensors. We are yet to find out how the tyre pressure monitoring would function in the Nexon EV.
