Here’s A Closer Look At The Tata Nexon Facelift In 9 Images

Tata Motors had a busy day on January 23, with a total of 4 car launches. Amongst them was the BS6-compliant Tata Nexon Facelift in a price range of Rs 6.95 lakh to Rs 12.70 lakh (ex-showroom). The SUV is not only powered by BS6-compliant petrol and diesel engines now, but it also gets cosmetic and feature upgrades. Here’s a closer look at the Nexon facelift in detailed images:

At a glance, the Nexon’s exterior design is fairly similar to its all-electric sibling. The front end features a sharper design, paired with a new set of LED headlamps, grille and lower bumper.

The overall profile of the SUV remains largely similar to its predecessor, aside from a new set of 8-spoke alloy wheels.

At the rear, the Nexon facelift gets a new bumper and revised LED tail lamps.

Head inside, and you’ll see that the overall cabin remains nearly identical to its predecessor, except for a few modern tweaks. It gets a black-beige colour combination, the 3-spoke steering wheel from the Altroz, and the digital instrument cluster from the Tiago.  

Carryover features include touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, drive modes, a Harman sound system, climate control, steering-mounted audio controls, and keyless entry with push-button start. New additions include cruise control, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, a sunroof, as well as i-RA connected car technology. 

The Nexon facelift receives safety equipment such as dual airbags, ABS + EBD, traction control, rear parking sensors with rear view camera, and ISOFIX child seat mounts. It also gets electronic stability control as standard on all variants.

The biggest change to the Nexon facelift is under the hood. It retains the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines, albeit a BS6 upgrade. Power figures remain the same with the 1.2-litre petrol engine delivering 110PS and 170Nm, and the 1.5-litre diesel producing 110PS and 260Nm. Both engines can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or an AMT gearbox.

The Nexon facelift is offered in a total of 16 variants. It takes on the likes of the Ford EcoSport, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, and Mahindra XUV300.
