Tata Motors is gearing up for an exciting update as select dealerships are now open for bookings of the 2023 Tata Nexon facelift. Mark your calendars for the 14th of September; that’s when this revamped SUV is set to hit the market. Ahead of its official arrival, the carmaker has released a teaser of the new model. Brace yourselves for a slew of changes, from its Curvv-inspired aesthetics to an entirely new nomenclature for its variants.
While the full scoop will be officially unveiled in the next couple of weeks, we’ve got the inside track. The freshened-up Nexon lineup will encompass an array of models: Smart, Smart+, Smart+ (S), Pure+, Pure+ (S), Creative, Creative+, Creative+ (S), Fearless, Fearless (S), and Fearless+ (S). In this lineup, the ‘+’ prefix indicates optional packages, and ‘(S)’ signifies sunroof-equipped versions.
The top-tier Fearless+ trim promises exclusive perks, boasting a sleek 10.25-inch touchscreen featuring over-the-air updates, plush leatherette upholstery, ventilated front seats, cutting-edge connected car technology, and a premium sound system with an added subwoofer for that perfect audio experience. That’s not all – the feature list extends to a wireless charger, express cooling, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a rear armrest with cupholders, auto-folding ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors), cruise control, a rearview camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Safety-conscious buyers will find solace in the standard safety kit, which includes six airbags, an electronic stability program, and three-point seatbelts for all occupants.

Rumors are buzzing about a potential powerhouse upgrade in the form of a new 1.2L turbo petrol engine, churning out an impressive 125PS and 225Nm of torque, complemented by a fresh 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox. However, this dynamic duo might be reserved for the upper echelons of the Nexon range. The trusty 1.5L diesel engine, delivering 115PS and 260Nm, remains an option, available with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed AMT gearbox.
But that’s not all in Tata’s playbook. Alongside the ICE-powered Nexon, the new 2023 Tata Nexon EV is set to make its debut, keeping the electric game strong. While the powertrain might retain its essence, expect a notable facelift both inside and out. Like its predecessor, the refreshed lineup will comprise two variants – Prime and Max. It’s an exciting time for Nexon enthusiasts, and the road ahead promises innovation and style in abundance.
