When you compare the XZ+ variants, the only compelling point I see for the Max is the larger battery, but it’s worth it.

Please do note that as much as the public charging infra is ever expanding, the reliability is never improving as of now. I always see people complaining about chargers failing to work. With such unreliable infra, it’s very difficult to plan longer trips. So having a larger battery pack always help, though it adds on to the budget. Having been using a Nexon EV for over a month now, I know how constrained I feel to travel beyond 75km from home as I am worried I can’t rely on public chargers. I just want to ensure to get back home on a single charge as safely as possible.

Even thought the battery will be under warranty, over time the battery capacity can be expected to deteriorate to around 80% of the rated capacity. So factoring this in, it may be more appealing to pay this premium, for getting some extra peace of mind related to range anxiety during ownership.

I think the 2+ lakhs are well worth to choose max, for the following
1. Bigger Battery
2. Rainsensing wipers
3. Auto Headlamps
4. Wireless Charger
5. Adjustable rear head rests
6. Electronic Parking brake
7. ESP
8. Traction Control
9. Hill Hold/Auto Hold
10. Hill descent control
11. All disc brakes

Only these are additional from your list, others are common. Or am I wrong?

The 11 items I had listed are the differences I can recall, between xz+ prime and xz+ max variants for nexon ev. There might be more for sure.
If I am not wrong, xz+ prime will not have 60:40 split and center arm console for rear seat.

I would suggest you to dive into both the brochures once, to be sure. I am confident on the 11 I had listed in my earlier post.

I would like to add couple more items that are unique to Max and that you won't get in any variant of Prime

1. Auto Dimming IRVM
2. Dedicated Buttons for the features
3. Better designed center console and gear knob.
4. Electronic Parking with a special feature that switches to N as soon as you disengage.
5. Ivbac - which in itself is an underrated feature and I feel it makes a lot of difference
6. Disc wiping
7. Fast home charger
8. Intensi Teal color is a head turner for sure
9. Auto hold

The best EV is the one with longest range (within budget). EVMax it is.

Would have bought EVMax, if I was in the market now.
