New Tata Nexon: Hey folks, if you’re in the market for a compact SUV that packs style, smarts, and serious safety, buckle up because Tata has just dropped the 2025 Nexon facelift. Launched today on October 17, 2025, this updated version isn’t just a refresh—it’s like Tata took their bestseller and gave it a tech upgrade that feels straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Starting at around Rs 8 lakh for the base models and climbing to Rs 13.53 lakh for the fancy ADAS-loaded Fearless+ PS DCA variant, the Nexon is aiming to keep its crown as India’s favorite sub-4-meter SUV. With over a million units sold since its debut, Tata knows how to keep fans hooked, and this time, they’re throwing in Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and a slick new Red Dark Edition to sweeten the deal. It’s not every day you get a ride that looks this good and thinks this fast.
A Look That’s Pure Fire
Let’s talk looks first because, honestly, the Nexon has always turned heads, and the 2025 model amps it up. Picture this: a raised hood that screams confidence, sleek LED lamps that light up like fireworks, and connected tail lights that give it that premium vibe. The new Red Dark Edition? Oh man, it’s wrapped in a fiery red with black accents—think glossy black roof, alloys, and even the Tata logo in black. It feels edgy, almost rebellious, perfect for city drives or weekend getaways.
Inside, it’s all about that welcoming hug. The cabin’s got dual-tone brown and black upholstery in higher trims, a 10.25-inch touchscreen that’s buttery smooth, and wireless charging to keep your phone from dying mid-Netflix binge. Tata’s gone big on comfort too—ventilated seats up front, a panoramic sunroof to let the stars in, and enough space for five adults to stretch without elbow wars. It’s like your living room on wheels, but way cooler.
Power Under the Hood
Now, onto what makes it go. The Nexon sticks to its winning formula with three engine options: a zippy 1.2-litre turbo-petrol, a torquey 1.5-litre turbo-diesel, and even a CNG variant for those eco-conscious wallets. The petrol pumps out 120 PS and zips from 0-100 kmph in about 11 seconds, while the diesel’s 115 PS and massive 260 Nm torque make overtaking on highways a breeze. And that mileage? The diesel hits up to 24 kmpl ARAI-rated, which is solid for real-world hauls, though city driving might dip to 18-20 kmpl depending on traffic. Transmissions include a slick six-speed manual, AMT for easy city crawls, and a DCT auto for those who hate clutching.
Pair it with the new drive modes—Eco, City, and Sport—and you’ll feel like you’re piloting a spaceship. The suspension’s tuned just right, soaking up potholes without feeling mushy, and the steering’s light enough for parking lot maneuvers but firm on the expressway. It’s fun, efficient, and won’t guzzle your fuel budget.
| Specification | Petrol | Diesel | CNG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine Size | 1.2L Turbo | 1.5L Turbo | 1.2L Turbo |
| Power | 120 PS | 115 PS | 100 PS |
| Torque | 170 Nm | 260 Nm | 170 Nm |
| Mileage (ARAI) | 17-24 kmpl | 23-24 kmpl | 17 km/kg |
Safety That’s Smarter Than Ever
Safety was already the Nexon’s strong suit with its five-star Global NCAP rating, but 2025 takes it to the next level with ADAS. Imagine your car warning you about a collision ahead, slamming the brakes if you don’t react, or gently nudging you back into your lane if you drift off. Features like Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and Lane Keep Assist are now standard on top trims. Add in 360-degree cameras, six airbags, ESP, and hill-hold control, and it’s like having a guardian angel with radar eyes.
Tata didn’t stop there—blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control (on select variants) make long drives less stressful. Parents, this is the car that lets you relax knowing your family’s wrapped in tech that anticipates trouble before it hits.
Tech and Comfort Galore
Diving deeper into the goodies, the Nexon 2025 feels premium without the sticker shock. That JBL nine-speaker system? It turns your commute into a concert. The digital cluster switches views seamlessly, and connected car tech lets you remote-start the AC on hot days. For families, the 60:40 split rear seats fold flat for extra boot space—up to 382 litres when upright, perfect for grocery runs or beach trips.
The voice commands are spot-on too—”Hey Tata, play my playlist”—and it integrates with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wirelessly. It’s thoughtful stuff, like ambient lighting that sets the mood or paddle shifters for that sporty thrill.
Why the Nexon Wins in 2025
So, is the 2025 Tata Nexon worth the hype? Absolutely. In a market flooded with crossovers, it stands out with its blend of Indian-road toughness, global safety creds, and now brainy ADAS that rivals pricier rivals like the Hyundai Venue or Kia Sonet. Priced competitively from Rs 8 lakh to Rs 15 lakh, it’s a steal for what you get. Whether you’re a first-time buyer dodging Mumbai traffic or a family road-tripper eyeing fuel savings, this SUV checks all boxes.
Tata’s promise of free updates for the connected features seals the deal—it’s future-proofed for whatever comes next. Head to your nearest showroom; test drives are already rolling out. The Nexon’s not just launched—it’s evolved, and it’s ready to make your drives unforgettable. What are you waiting for?
