About Nexon

Few cars have changed a company's fortunes the way the Nexon changed Tata's. Launched in 2017, the compact SUV arrived with bold, coupe-like styling and a sense of polish that Tata had rarely delivered. Then, in 2018, it became the first Indian-made car to earn a five-star adult-occupant rating from Global NCAP, a turning point that made safety a mainstream selling point in a market where crash ratings had barely mattered before. Sales took off, and the Nexon became a pillar of Tata's resurgence.

The Nexon has been offered with turbo-petrol and diesel engines, a CNG version and a choice of manual, automated-manual and dual-clutch transmissions. Its electric sibling, the Nexon EV, launched in 2020 and quickly became India's best-selling electric car, the vehicle that showed ordinary buyers an EV could be practical. A major facelift brought sharper styling, larger screens and a more upscale cabin, and a next-generation model has been spotted in testing. Critics have praised its safety and features while noting firm ride quality and inconsistent refinement in older versions.

The Nexon fights in the fiercely competitive sub-four-meter SUV segment, a uniquely Indian class shaped by tax rules that favor shorter cars. Its rivals include the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Fronx, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO and Skoda Kylaq, and it regularly trades the segment's sales crown with the Brezza and Tata's own Punch. The Nexon EV competes with the MG Windsor, Mahindra's electric SUVs and Tata's Curvv EV.

Coverage follows monthly sales rankings, new variants and special editions, discounts and price changes, used-car buying guides, safety ratings and recalls, plus the development of the next-generation model. The Nexon EV's battery, range and charging updates feature too, along with battery-rental schemes intended to lower the upfront cost of electric ownership and widen the appeal of India's most familiar EV. After nearly a decade on sale, the Nexon remains the car many Indian families picture when they think of Tata, and the yardstick by which rivals in its class are judged.
