Tata Motors is working on a new generation of the popular Nexon car among consumers. In recent days, an updated version of the vehicle was observed undergoing testing, with the car covered in camouflage during the trials.
Previously, photos had appeared that provided some information about the car's appearance. The latest spy shots show a clear view of the exterior, especially the rear section, which has been redesigned. Tata introduced the Nexon in 2017, and since then, the car has been updated multiple times.
Despite numerous updates to style and features over the past nine years, the basic structure of the car has remained largely the same. However, the new Nexon may undergo significant changes, including modifications to the body and proportions of the vehicle.
Although the car is hidden under camouflage, its design can be quite easily guessed. The Nexon will have a more vertical and angular look. The roof will be flatter compared to the current Nexon, and the rear might adopt a coupe-like design.
It is also assumed that the headroom in the rear seats of the new Nexon will be improved. From the side, this SUV will have a coupe-like appearance, and the doors and glass area may also be reworked. The tail section looks higher than the current Nexon, and the rear window appears larger and equipped with a wiper.
A spoiler on the roof was also noticed during testing. Spy shots also highlighted the fuel cap placement: in the Nexon, it has moved to the level of the door handle, whereas in the current model, it is below the door handle. The new roofline, vertical rear profile, and changed body proportions indicate that Tata is not just making a cosmetic update.
Spy shots also show interior details. Components such as the steering wheel, infotainment system, and climate control may remain the same as in the current Nexon. Additional information may become available closer to production.
Regarding powertrains, the car will use the same engines as the current Nexon: a 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol and a 1.5-liter diesel. CNG will also remain part of the offering. Various changes may be made to the Nexon EV. The car is planned to launch next year, in 2027.
