Tata Motors will officially launch the facelifted Nexon in the country in mid-September, with an unveiling likely to take place shortly before that. Spy images have revealed numerous details, all of which are listed below.
On the outside, the 2023 Nexon facelift will get new front and rear bumpers, grille, split headlamp design, and alloy wheels. It will also receive Y-shaped LED taillights, LED light bar on the boot lid, vertically stacked reflector and reverse light cluster, spoiler with a rear wiper hiding below, shark-fin antenna, and roof rails. Also up for offer will be a new purple paint job.
The interiors of the upcoming Nexon will witness a major overhaul, and come equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, fully digital instrument console, two-spoke flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel with a digital Tata Motors logo, and a new gear lever. Further, it will feature purple upholstery, new AC panel, auto-dimming IRVM, rotary dial for drive modes, and an electric sunroof.
The 2023 Nexon could be powered by the same 1.2-litre, turbo-petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine paired with a five-speed manual unit and an AMT unit from the outgoing model. Tata could also equip the sub-four metre SUV with a DCT (DCA in Tata speak) gearbox.
We expect the updated Nexon to command a price tag of Rs. 9-15 lakh (ex-showroom) when it arrives next month. Rivals to the model include the Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300, Renault Kiger, and the Nissan Magnite.
