Bigger Battery
The most important update would be the bigger battery pack with an extra bit of power. A 40kwh will power the Nexon EV MAX, and to accommodate that, the floor plan might be reworked, leading to losing some boot space. The bigger battery comes with a 136hp motor, which is 9 more than the previous figure.
