Design
The current generation of the Tata Nexon is based on the X1 platform. Interestingly, this platform has been there since the launch of the Tata Indica in 1998, and it hasn’t changed much. Considering that the automaker could bring in its latest ARGOS platform from the Sierra to underpin the next-gen Nexon. With this new gen, we could expect Nexon to follow modern looks from the other Tatas. At the front, Tata is likely to offer a slimmer front grille, vertically stacked LED headlamps, full-width LED DRLs and redesigned bumpers. What else?

Nexon, already feature-loaded, is expected to get enhanced with a new, larger infotainment screen, an upgraded sound system, and an AR HUD. Other features remain the wireless charging option, a panoramic sunroof, cruise control, ventilated seats and much more.
Even with the reworked platform, the Tata Nexon is expected to secure a 5-star safety rating. Additional safety features include 6 airbags as standard, a 360-degree camera, a TPMS and Level-2 ADAS system.

Powertrain
One of the major reasons behind the huge sales of the Nexon is the offering of a wide variety of powertrains. And with the update, the next generation is expected to carry on with similar CNG, petrol, diesel, and electric options. Featuring a 1.2-litre turbo petrol (118 bhp & 170 Nm), 1.2-litre turbo petrol+CNG (99 bhp & 170 Nm), 1.5-litre diesel (113 bhp & 260 Nm), and, in addition to this, the 30kWh and 45kWh battery packs. Alongside these engine options, one can also choose between a 6-speed manual, 6-speed AMT and 7-speed DCA gearbox. There are some discussions that the automaker is developing a hybrid powertrain, which could make its way into the Nexon later, but there is no official word on it.
