The soon-to-be-launced Nexon facelift will be offered in Smart, Smart+, Pure +, Creative+, Fearless, and Fearless+ variants. Out of these, we are already familiar with the Pure and Creative variants in the Punch lineup. However, Smart and Fearless trims are new and will be introduced in a Tata model’s variant lineup for the first time.

Nexon facelift: Expected features

When launched, the new Nexon will be equipped with new split LED headlamps, a fully digital instrument cluster, and a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The cabin will also get a redesigned centre console with new gear shifter lever and a haptic-based aircon panel.

We expect Tata Motors to launch the new Nexon in mid-September. Post that, it will lock horns with Mahindra XUV300, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Renault Kiger, and Nissan Magnite.
