Tata Nexon EV Red Dark Edition: Design

The Red Dark Edition of the Nexon EV sports a Carbon Black body paint, resembling the regular Dark Edition. The overall silhouette remains identical to the standard model, but the all-black treatment sets it apart. 

The roof rails, skid plates, alloys, “Tata” logos, and bumpers are all blacked out, giving the usually family-friendly SUV a bolder and menacing look. You get connected LED DRLs and tail lamps with welcome and goodbye gestures, which are available with the standard version as well.

Inside the cabin, the black theme extends to the dashboard, centre console, and doors, and you get a red contrast stitching running below the AC vents. The seats offer a breath of fresh air with vibrant red leatherette upholstery, aligning with the edition’s name. The front seats also feature signature ‘#Dark’ embossing on them.

This new edition doesn’t add much to the existing feature list of the SUV, save for a panoramic sunroof and a frunk.
