Tata Nexon Facelift Spotted On Test — Launch Likely In August 2023 | V3Cars

Tata Nexon Facelift Design Changes Explained

The latest spy shots reveal the updated face of the Nexon hiding under camouflage. The Nexon facelift is likely to offer a split LED headlight design, which will make it fall in line with the smaller Punch and larger Harrier SUVs. It could feature a connected LED light bar covering the width of the front and merging with the Tata logo at the centre. The main headlight, on the other hand, will sit lower on the bumper and it could feature LED projector headlamps with white illumination.

Around the side, the Nexon facelift continues to come with wheel arch cladding and flared wheel arches. The new facelift could offer a new design for the 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. At the rear, the Nexon facelift will offer slimmer LED tail lights with a connected LED light bar.

Tata Nexon Facelift Interior Changes

Tata Motors are likely to offer major changes on the inside of the Nexon facelift. To begin with, it is likely to feature Tata’s new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and telematics. It could also feature the new 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, which made its debut with the new Safari and Harrier SUVs. Furthermore, the layout of the dashboard could also get a design overhaul and we expect Tata to improve the fit and finish levels over the current Nexon B2-segment SUV.

Tata Nexon Facelift Powertrain Details

The Tata Nexon facelift is likely to be powered by Tata’s new 1.2L turbo petrol engine. While the carmaker stated that this engine would make its debut with the Curvv SUV, we expect it to power the Nexon facelift first. The new 1.2L turbo petrol engine produces 125PS of power and 190Nm of torque. The new 1.2L turbo petrol will be available with an increased torque output of 225Nm version as well. However, this version of the engine will power bigger Tata cars like the Curvv. Furthermore, the 1.5L turbo diesel engine is likely to be carried as is in the Nexon facelift.
