Tata Nexon Facelift – Changes inspired by Curvv concept

The latest spy shots give us a clearer idea as to what exterior design changes might be. For starters, there will be a lot of inspiration from the upcoming Curvv compact SUV. We’re talking about a futuristic detail where it gets wide LED light bars at the front, converging to form the Tata logo.

There is a two-part upper grille and lower grille has a cascading effect which might be studded with Tata’s tri-arrow elements. As of now, Tata’s radar-based ADAS module hasn’t been spied with Nexon facelift test mules.

Side profile will be kept mostly similar. Except for new alloy wheel design and some changes to its body cladding to make it sportier. At the rear, there are Safari-inspired wide LED signature tail lights with pulsating sequential turn indicators. These changes will be carried over to the Nexon EV facelift as well. Take a look at the spy video shared by Roy Cruiser channel.

Engine specs of New Nexon – More power, DCT auto

The same 1.2L turbo petrol and 1.5L diesel engines will be carried over. With Tata Nexon facelift, we expect the petrol to be tuned to develop 125 bhp of power and 225 Nm of torque. 1.5 diesel will be carried over as is, though. It makes 113 bhp of power and 260 Nm of torque. There is a new DCT gearbox rumoured as part of Nexon facelift, replacing its AMT.

It is not yet sure whether it is the same 6-speed unit offered on Altroz or a newer 7-speed unit. Launch will take place by mid 2023, before the festive season kicks in. While production might start in June 2023. Rivals include Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and Mahindra XUV300. Prices of 2023 Nexon facelift will remain in a similar price bracket as current Nexon.
