Tata Motors has updated the Nexon with refreshed styling. Enhanced features to maintain its lead in the sub-4-metre SUV segment. The new model retains its familiar shape while adding sharper design elements and more technology for a smarter driving experience. On the exterior, the 2025 Nexon introduces a bold front grille, redesigned LED headlamps and distinctive character lines for a stronger road presence. Inside, the cabin receives a new steering wheel, larger infotainment display and upgraded digital instrument cluster. Tata has also improved material quality and fit for more premium feel.
Powertrain options carry over from the previous version. Buyers can choose between a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Transmission choices remain wide: 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 6-speed AMT and even a DCT option on select petrol variants. Fuel economy for the petrol version is around 17 kmpl, while the diesel offers up to 24 kmpl under ARAI testing.
In the feature department, the Nexon comes equipped with six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-hold assist and a host of connected car functions via Tata’s iRA system. Selected variants also offer a sunroof, ventilated front seats and JBL audio system. These additions help it stay competitive against newer entrants.
Pricing starts at approximately ₹7.31 lakh ex-showroom for the base petrol variant. Higher trims with more amenities and diesel engines go up to around ₹14 lakh, depending on local market and trim. For buyers seeking a compact SUV that blends performance, safety and modern tech, the Nexon remains a very strong choice. One of the key strengths for this model is its well-rounded balance. It does not push radical changes into the powertrain, which means reliability remains high and maintenance simpler. On the flip side, those expecting a major leap in engine performance or hybrid/electric options may feel the update misses an opportunity.
Tata has succeeded in refreshing the exterior and interior without diluting the core identity that made the Nexon popular solid build, confident driving position and value-for-money equipment. For urban families and young professionals looking for a compact SUV with substance, the 2025 Nexon delivers. Time will tell how it stacks up against new challengers, but for now it holds its ground.
