Tata Motors has launched the new 2023 Nexon in India starting from Rs. 8.1 lakh. This marks the second facelift for Nexon since its launch. Alongside that, Tata is also launching Nexon.ev facelift today. Both Nexon facelift and Nexon.ev facelift will bring a new trim lineup with them, similar to that of Punch.
The new design is far more sophisticated than its predecessors and ushers in a new era for Tata’s vehicles for mainstream audiences. Front fascia now gets sleeker LED DRLs, vertically arranged LED headlights and an all-new bumper that strikes the right amount of sportiness and sophistication.
In profile, Nexon is vastly similar to outgoing model and even doors look more-or-less the same. 16” alloy wheel design is new and looks swanky and features a sophisticated aero appeal to them. LED tail light pattern is all new and gets connected design too, which is trending right now. Rear bumper gets some nip and tuck to establish visual differences.
On the inside, Tata has done a thorough job on Nexon and Nexon.ev. Re-designed dashboard now gets a larger 10.25” touchscreen with Nexon and 12.3″ touchscreen with Nexon.ev that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wirelessly. The instrument cluster is all new too, and is the best implementation in its segment with fullscreen maps and more. Center console now gets a redesigned gear selector for automatic variants.
The 2-spoke steering wheel gets an illuminated logo in the center. There are toggles for audio and cruise controls. Similar toggles can be seen with its HVAC panel as well, which features a futuristic touch-sensitive panel for the first time in its segment. Purple upholstery looks very striking and adds a dash of sophistication to Nexon’s interiors, while matching its exterior purple shade exclusive to Fearless trim.
2023 Tata Nexon.ev lineup sports similar design changes inside and out. Although, the full-width LED DRL is exclusive to Nexon.ev lineup. Features like ventilated front seats, single-pane sunroof, rear AC vents, automatic climate control, LED projector headlights, leatherette upholstery, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, fully digital instrument cluster and other attributes are common between both Nexon and Nexon.ev.
Up to this moment, Tata used letters to denote trim levels from XE to XZ. The new variant lineup for Nexon consists of Smart, Smart+, Smart+ (S), Pure+, Pure+ (S), Creative, Creative+, Creative+ (S), Fearless, Fearless (S) and Fearless+ (S) trims. Having words for trim levels lends a sophisticated and up-market appeal to new Nexon. However, Nexon.ev has a trim above Nexon’s, which is ‘Accomplished’.
The same 1.2L turbo petrol and 1.5L turbo diesel engines continue duties. Transmission options get a revision. Base petrol variants now get a 5-speed manual transmission and top spec petrol automatic variants now get a 7-speed DCT. Mid-level petrol and all diesel automatic variants will get the same 6-speed AMT unit.
