If you had your eyes on the upcoming model, here are 5 things you need to know about it:

Exterior Design 

The 2023 Tata Nexon gets a futuristic design with sharper lines. The front gets a clamshell bonnet with slim LED DRL/ indicator combo lamps and the main LED headlamps positioned down below in the bumper. The rear also gets an update with a full-width lightbar connecting the two LED V-shaped tail lamps. 

Meanwhile, the side profile has remained mostly unchanged save for the new wheels. You can check out the Nexon’s colour options in this story.  

Interior Design

The Tata Nexon has received a completely revamped interior. This includes a new dashboard, updated touch-based AC controls, and a new two-spoke Curvv-inspired steering wheel with illuminated Tata logo. Depending on the variant, the car comes with a different upholstery theme. 

Features On Board

Tata Nexon owners will be able to take the benefit of features such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, an air purifier and a wireless phone charger.

Standard safety features on the SUV include six airbags, ESP, hill hold control and ISO-FIX child seat mounts. 

Engine Options

Tata has carried forward with the 1.2-litre unit that develops 120 PS and 170 Nm. Customers are spoilt for choice with the transmission options on this - there is a 5-speed manual (new), a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed AMT and a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (new). 

Meanwhile, the 115 PS 1.5-litre diesel unit comes with a choice of 6-speed manual or a 6-speed AMT.  

Expected Price And Rivals

The Tata Nexon will rival the likes of the Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Nissan Magnite and Mahindra XUV300. With a new gearbox as well as some new features, the new Nexon is definitely expected to command a premium over the outgoing model. This means, Tata could price the Nexon in the 8 lakh to Rs 15 lakh price bracket.
