Tata Nexon Facelift Launch Date August 2023

Latest media reports suggest that Tata Motors is planning to launch the new, facelifted Nexon in India by mid-2023. One of the most popular sub-compact SUVs in the country, the Nexon is expected to get a revised exterior design, new interior features, and updated powertrains. It is believed that the facelifted model will be produced at Tata Motors Ranjangaon manufacturing facility that is shared with Stellantis, who builds Jeep SUVs on a different assembly line.

Tata Nexon Facelift: Exterior Design

While Tata has not released any official pictures of the facelifted Nexon, leaked spy shots of camouflaged test mules give us an idea of what it will look like. The design of the upcoming subcompact SUV will take design cues from the Curvv Concept. Compared to the outgoing model, the front end of the vehicle seems more upright and flatter. It will offer a split design grille with diamond-shaped elements in the lower half while the redesigned headlights sit lower than before. A new full-width LED light bar will sit above the grille. The side profile remains fairly similar to the current model except for new alloy wheels. Moving to the rear, the redesigned tail lights are now connected by a LED light bar while the tailgate is flatter than before and blends neatly into the new rear bumper.

Tata Nexon Facelift: Interior Features

The new four-wheeler will get an overhauled interior. Latest reports suggest that the vehicle will offer a fully digital instrument cluster and Tata’s new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system that was introduced with the Safari and Harrier Red Dark Editions. Other notable new equipment will include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a 360-degree camera. The company may also offer ADAS-Tech in the facelifted Nexon’s higher variants, making it the first subcompact SUV to get the feature.
