Company prepares for major Tata Nexon update: new design and powertrains expected

The Tata Nexon is one of the most successful products in the Tata Motors portfolio, offered with various powertrain options, including petrol, diesel, CNG, and electric. The company is actively working on creating the next generation of this model, which could potentially hit the market next year.

Recently, internal combustion engines of this car have been spotted. However, recent photos taken by paparazzi show the electric version of the vehicle, indicating the company's intention to launch this model with multiple types of powertrains simultaneously. There is a possibility that Tata will release a new Nexon in both ICE and EV versions, similar to how it was presented with the new Tiago.

A new version of the Tata Nexon was recently noticed. Unlike previous test samples, the new pictures show orange wiring and a subframe with a large battery, clearly indicating high-voltage electrical equipment. Thus, the spotted car is likely the Nexon EV.

The Nexon EV was first introduced by the company in 2020, and currently, the company has sold over 100 thousand units of this electric vehicle. Nevertheless, the dominance of this model in the electric vehicle market has decreased compared to the past. After the release of the next generation model, the company may regain its former position.

The new Nexon EV may receive a sporty exterior look, a raised beltline, a sloping roof, and a raked rear window. The car will have a high ground clearance. If the current Nexon EV is equipped with 16-inch wheels, the new generation might feature 18-inch alloy rims.

According to reports, the new Nexon may be based on the updated X1 platform. Some sources also suggest that the car might be based on a shorter version of the ARGOS platform, which is also used for the Sierra. Currently, little is known about the features of the next-generation Tata Nexon.

The side view of the car was also noted in recent leaks. The SUV features a large hood, a vertical cabin, and good ground clearance. The off-roader will have corresponding wheel arches, side steps, and multi-spoke wheels.

Maruti Suzuki is updating its compact cars in 2026. This year the company updated the Brezza and Baleno models, and the WagonR may be the next model to receive an update. Thus, an updated version of the Maruti Suzuki WagonR could soon be seen.

The updated version of this car has been spotted multiple times during testing. According to CarTok, an updated version of the Maruti Suzuki WagonR can be expected this year. The main change in the updated WagonR may be a new engine.

A camouflaged car was recently spotted. This spy shot suggests possible changes to the car's design. Regarding the exterior, the new WagonR is likely to retain a look similar to the current model, featuring a tall and angular design.

Additionally, the car might feature vertically oriented taillights. The company may also change the headlight design, adding a new grille and front bumper. However, none of these design elements were clearly visible in the test sample. Overall, the car's appearance is likely to remain largely the same.

Various modifications are expected in the car's interior. The car currently features a 7-inch touchscreen display, which the company may upgrade. The new WagonR might come with a new infotainment system. It is also possible that the front seats will be equipped with headrests integrated into the backrest.

In the new WagonR, the company may install a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine, which is used in the new Baleno, Swift, and Dzire models. This engine is lighter and offers better fuel economy. The current CNG consumption for the WagonR is 34 kilometers per kilogram. The car is sold at an exclusive starting price of 4.99 lakh rupees. The company intends to maintain this price for the new model.
