Tata Motors has finally ended the wait for the Nexon Facelift as the upcoming compact SUV has been revealed ahead of its official launch on September 14. Nexon was first launched in 2017 and this is Nexon’s second facelift ever since its introduction. The new Nexon facelift gets a host of new interiors and significant upgrades on the outside. Bookings for the new Nexon will begin from September 4 with deliveries estimated to start later this month.
The new Nexon will now be offered in 11 variants; Smart, Smart+, Smart+ (S), Pure+, Pure+ (S), Creative, Creative+, Creative+ (S), Fearless, Fearless (S) and Fearless+ (S) variants. (S) denotes trims with a sunroof, and the '+' indicates optional packages that are offered with additional features.
Tata Nexon - Exterior
The Nexon seems to have inherited design elements from the Curvv concept. Nexon's overall look has changed significantly as it now has a split headlight design with LED daytime running lights forming the outer borders of the narrow grille area. The headlights have been placed in the lower area of the front bumper.
New V-shaped LED tail lights connected by LED light bars are located at the back. There are a total of six exterior colour schemes available: Fearless Purple, Pristine White, Pure Grey, Flame Red, Daytona Grey, and Creative Ocean. The boot has a capacity of 382 litres and the ground clearance has been set at 208 mm. The car also seems to be a little wider and taller than its predecessor.
Tata Nexon - Interior
The 2023 Nexon facelift SUV has significant changes inside the cabin, more than on the outside. The dashboard, steering wheel and displays have all been revamped. The new flat-bottom steering wheel is eye-catching with illuminated touch controls and the Tata Motors logo for a premium feel. The infotainment screen is now a 10.25-inch unit from the Nexon EV Max Dark Edition and supports Tata's iRA-connected car technology. The digital driver display is also updated, offering customizable navigation features in the same size.
The new Nexon facelift has a redesigned dashboard with fewer physical buttons. It uses illuminated touch controls on the centre console. The AC vents are slimmer, and there's leather and chrome detailing on the dashboard. The gear lever is sleek, and it has a drive selector knob similar to the Nexon EV. The upholstery also gets new colour themes.
New additional features to the Nexon facelift SUV are a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats with height adjustment, wireless charging, automatic climate control, a 9-speaker JBL-branded audio system, a voice-operated electric sunroof, cruise control, front parking sensors and a blind-view monitor among others.
Tata Nexon - Powertrain
The new Nexon will keep the same engines as the outgoing model. You can choose between the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol with 118 bhp and 170 Nm of torque or the 1.5-litre diesel with 113 bhp and 260 Nm of torque. Both engines offer manual and automated manual (AMT) options. The new addition is a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic for the turbo-petrol model, which will also include paddle shifters.
