The Nexon operates in the highly competitive sub-4 metre compact SUV segment, which is the largest in terms of volume in the passenger vehicle market. Despite the competition, Tata Motors has managed to secure a strong position in this segment, largely due to the high safety ratings of models like the Punch and the Nexon.

The 2023 Tata Nexon facelift will continue to compete with rivals such as the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and Mahindra XUV300. The price of the new model is expected to range between Rs 8 lakh and Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the variant chosen. The Nexon facelift 2023 comes in 11 variants: Creative, Creative+, Creative+ S, Fearless, Fearless S, Fearless+ S, Pure, Pure S, Smart, Smart+ and Smart+ S.

The new Nexon boasts significant exterior and interior updates. The exterior features new bi-functional LED headlamps with sequential LED DRLs, redesigned bumpers, connected LED taillamps, and new 16-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin has been updated with dual-tone upholstery, a three-tone dashboard with a leather mid-pad, ventilated leatherette front seats with a leatherette armrest, and a two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo.

The 2023 Nexon facelift also comes equipped with a host of advanced features. These include a 10.25-inch floating infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, IRA 2.0 connectivity tech, a capacitive touch panel, fully automatic climate control, navigation display on the instrument cluster, voice-assisted electric sunroof, air purifier, cooled glove box, and wireless charger.

In terms of safety, the 2023 Nexon facelift comes with six airbags, a 360-degree surround view system with front parking sensors, blind view monitor, ESP, TPMS, auto headlamps with rain-sensing wipers, and front fog lamps with cornering function. The Nexon is also the first made-in-India and sold-in-India car to achieve Global NCAP’s five-star crash test rating.

Under the hood, the 2023 Nexon facelift retains the same engine options as the outgoing model. It has a Revotron 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine that delivers 120PS power and 170Nm torque, and a Revotorq 1.5-litre diesel engine that produces 115PS power and 260Nm torque. The petrol variant now gets 5-speed MT and 7-speed DCA in addition to the existing 6-speed MT and 6-speed AMT options, while the diesel variant continues with the 6-speed MT and 6-speed AMT options.

The 2023 Tata Nexon facelift is available in six color options: Fearless Purple, Creative Ocean, Pure Grey, Flame Red, Daytona Grey, and Pristine White.
