This robust engine generates an output of 119 bhp of power and a torque of 145.1 Nm.

Both a six-speed manual gearbox and an advanced CVT transmission option will be available for this engine.

This electric SUV is equipped with a 78 kWh battery pack, capable of delivering 402 bhp of peak power and 660 Nm of maximum torque. Volvo claims an impressive 530 km range on a single charge, as per the global WLTP standard, which could potentially be even greater under Indian conditions. The Tata Nexon, one of India's top-selling SUVs, is poised to make a return in an updated form.
