2023 Tata Nexon Review By Promeet Ghosh | The 2023 Tata Nexon Facelift signals clearly that it's not merely a minor touch-up, both in terms of its exterior and interior cabin. The design of the 2023 Tata Nexon draws significant inspiration from the Tata Curvv concept and the company's larger SUV models.

00:00 So back in 2017, Tata Motors launched the Nexon and with that they set a benchmark as
00:09 far as the safety features goes within the car segment.
00:13 However, within the years, the Nexon got a few updates such as the Dark Edition, the
00:17 Kaziranga Edition and you also saw the Jet Edition.
00:20 Well, this car also has electric that's called the Tata Nexon EV and the EV Max and what
00:26 you see over here, ladies and gentlemen, is the all new 2023 Tata Nexon.
00:30 So hi guys and welcome to DriveSpark, I'm Prameet, let's quickly start this video and
00:34 I'll tell you everything you need to know about this SUV.
00:37 So now let's start talking about the front end and before that, let me tell you that
00:49 the Tata Nexon has completely changed as you can see over here, it's changed from the inside,
00:54 from the outside and lot of things has been added.
00:57 So talking about the front end, the very first thing you notice are these DRL set up.
01:01 Now let me just quickly show you a trick, so with the key when you lock and unlock the
01:05 car, so right now the car is unlocked, so when you lock it, you can see over here that
01:11 this DRL creates this illumination that looks really nice and when you unlock the car as
01:16 well, you can see over here that the same pattern follows and these welcome lights look
01:20 really fantastic, they are really nice, plus you get this piano black finish on the grille
01:26 that is actually going overall well with this car and over here what you see now the headlamp
01:30 design has moved to the bumper, the headlamp design, the Nexon used to come over here like
01:34 the regular headlights, but what you see over here is a bifunctional LED projector for the
01:39 high beam as well as the low beam and what you see over here may look like fog lights,
01:43 but these are cornering lights.
01:45 Over here you get a front parking camera, obviously now the Nexon gets a 360 degree
01:48 camera feature, so that's the front camera, you have some silver finishing on the scuff
01:53 plate over here and overall if you look at the front design, it is a lot more sportier
01:58 than the previous generation, plus you also have some vents over here that is for better
02:03 aerodynamics and if you move to the side now, you will notice that the alloy wheel has completely
02:09 changed, now you get these 16-inch alloy wheels and if you see the design of the alloy wheel,
02:13 it has completely changed, you get this aero kind of an alloy wheel that goes overall well
02:18 with the car, you get body cladding, again, body lines and creases run all the way from
02:22 the DRL to the body and ends at the taillight over here, well, not a lot of chrome is present
02:28 as you can see, again, piano black finishing, what I like and I mean, obviously people do
02:33 like chrome, but over here you will not get any chrome, you will get this silver roof
02:37 rail, I don't know if this is functional or no, but yeah, this is a dual tone version
02:43 and the roof is present in a black colour, overall the body, this is a new colour that
02:47 you see over here, this is called the fearless purple and there are six colour options, we
02:53 will discuss about that later, so you get a shark fin antenna, a black roof and at the
02:57 side, what you can see over here is, you get again a class leading ground clearance of
03:02 208mm, well, the previous generation Nexon had a ground clearance of 209mm, the ground
03:08 clearance has reduced by 1mm, I don't think that should make a huge difference, but yes,
03:13 you get a decent amount of ground clearance with this car, now the ORVMs that you see
03:17 over here, the ORVMs are finished in this piano black finish, again you get cameras
03:21 on either sides for the 360 degree camera feature, plus you get this integrated LED
03:27 light for the turn signal and if you close the look over here, you will get this badging
03:31 that says, celebrating 50 lakh cars, so yeah, this actually sums up the side profile and
03:38 now moving on to the rear section over here, so again, the rear section is completely new,
03:43 the car is completely new, front, side, back, inside, so starting off from the top, you
03:47 get this spoiler, looks fabulous, now the wiper, you might be noticing that there is
03:53 no wiper over here, but there is a wiper obviously that is neatly integrated underneath over
03:56 here, so you have a wiper along with a washer, you do not get a high stop tail light, but
04:01 yes, what you do get, like in the front, you have the welcome lights, again, let me show
04:05 it to you, so when you hit the lock or unlock button, you will notice that these, the tail
04:11 light, the connecting tail light gives you this effect, when you unlock it, you will
04:15 have the same thing, so yeah, that's a really really cool feature and obviously people put
04:19 these kind of things after market, so the company thought, why not give it with the
04:23 car and once again, you get defoggers, you get the starter logo again, you get a camera
04:26 over here, the camera quality is excellent, we will show it to you when we are inside
04:31 the car and what you see over here is the all new tail light design, now the tail light
04:37 design is a connected tail light design, as you can see over here, it's completely LED,
04:40 very sharp, you have this piano black finishing over here, plus you have Nexon badging, now
04:45 I wish that this Nexon badging was also finished in black, overall the car would look really
04:50 really nice because with this colour, I don't think chrome will suit the car, but anyway,
04:54 people will put chrome, so again you get a matte black bumper, you get silver finishing
04:59 on the scuff plate and you get this reverse light and this reflector that overall completes
05:05 the rear section.
05:06 Now, let's talk about the boot, so to open the boot, you have a request sensor that is
05:09 present over here, so after you open the boot, this is the boot space, you get a parcel tray
05:15 over here and there's some other luggage that is kept right now, so this has around 382
05:20 litres of boot space, which is pretty decent, as you can see, one cabin bag is already here,
05:24 two more cabin bags and I think you can squeeze in one more, if you remove this tray, then
05:28 you will have a lot of space, boot lid is not that heavy, thanks to the hydraulic struts,
05:34 so I think this completes the exterior of the Nexon and now let's quickly move on to
05:39 the inside and I'll tell you everything you need to know about the interiors of the new
05:43 Nexon.
05:44 So now, let us start off with the rear section and as you can see over here, that for reference,
06:01 my height is 6'1" and the seat is adjusted according to my height, well, you can see
06:06 that I have a slight issue with the knee room and leg room is obviously, I mean, it's decent,
06:13 it's not bad, but yeah, there is a lack of knee room over here for, I think, tall people
06:17 and as you can see over here, the under-thigh support is a little less, overall, the seating
06:22 comfort is fine, you're sitting upright, you have adjustable headrests over here on
06:25 either end, let me just, yes, you can see over here, so this headrest, you can adjust
06:31 and if you are four people travelling, you can just deploy this, again, you have two
06:35 cup holders over here, soft touch material and as you can see that the theme of the colour
06:39 that's on the outside also continues on the inside, on the seats, on the dashboard, everywhere,
06:44 so yeah, pretty good looking interior, I would say, soft touch materials everywhere on the
06:48 door, on, I mean, on the door panels, you have soft touch material everywhere in this
06:55 car.
06:55 Well, overall, feature-wise, you have this AC vent, that's about it, there's a single
07:01 zone climate control, you also have a Type A and a Type C charging socket and I think
07:05 that's about it, a couple of 12V charging sockets at the back and you have only two
07:10 headrests, indicating that only two people can sit here, I mean, obviously, third person
07:13 can sit, but, I mean, you'll have to be either, like, short people or narrow people because,
07:18 I mean, people of my size, I think only two people will be able to sit comfortably.
07:21 Overall, headroom is pretty decent, as you can see over here, since the sunroof is over
07:26 here, so you can see that the roof slopes back up over here, so, I mean, for me, I have
07:32 decent amount of headroom, but if I slightly sit like this, I mean, you can see that my
07:37 head is touching, but over here, there is no problem.
07:40 So, overall, comfort-wise, it's fine, space-wise, I think for tall people, it might be an issue,
07:45 but everything over here, that includes the fit and finish quality, is excellent.
07:49 So now let's move on to the front section because I've got a lot to tell you about that.
07:52 So, now, getting on to the front end, after getting, let me just switch on the car, so,
08:05 I'd like to show you, this is the key fob to the new Nexon and, I mean, it is pretty
08:13 much the same as you had it in the older generation ones.
08:17 So, coming over here, let the car just start up and as you can see over here, you have
08:22 a beautiful 360-degree camera, very clean camera, you can select and see whatever is
08:30 going on on the left and on the right, you have a 2D mode, you have a 3D mode over here,
08:34 this 3D mode is really, really fantastic, if you press on either side, you will see
08:38 what is going on and you actually see these kind of features in high-end cars, but overall,
08:43 it's pretty clear, the quality is absolutely amazing.
08:46 Now, so, this is how the front section of the Nexon looks like, I mean, you only tell
08:51 me in the comment section that whether this looks absolutely fantastic or no, so, this
08:55 is my height and my driving position, very first thing you'll see is this all new steering
09:01 wheel that you get over here, now, the steering wheel is a two-spoke steering wheel, it looks
09:05 like a gaming console and if you notice over here, the Tata logo is actually backlit, now,
09:11 let me do one thing, let me switch off the car, so, you can see that the logo has gone
09:14 off and when I switch it on, you can see that the logo illuminate and that is a very good
09:20 feature, well, the horn is pretty decent, you will get very confused where to press,
09:25 but yeah, overall, this, you can basically use the horn through this entire section and
09:29 you have your steering motor controls on either side, it looks really good, you have this
09:33 flat bottom steering wheel, you have some amount of this purple finishing on the steering
09:37 wheel as well and if you see the dashboard, now, the dashboard design, the layout is new,
09:43 it's completely changed, you've got soft touch material over here, I think this is
09:47 hard plastic, but you also get some finishing, it may, from far off, it might look like carbon
09:52 fibre, but this is not carbon fibre, you have some element finishing over here, the AC vents
09:56 are now horizontal, there is no bezel around the AC vents as well, you get some brushed
10:01 aluminium finish as you can see over here on the AC vents, on the knobs as well and
10:07 just below that, you have this touch sensor for the climate control, so you can adjust
10:15 the blower speed from here, you can adjust the temperature, these are all the buttons,
10:19 so if you just, these are touch, I mean, these are actually touch, they are not physical
10:23 buttons, so for example, if you wanna open the boot or if you wanna access anything,
10:28 so yeah, I mean, this, you can just touch it and this will happen, so the gear knob
10:32 you see over here is again completely new, you again see this on high-end cars, but you
10:38 have some charging options over here, you have Type A, Type C and a 12V charging socket,
10:41 this is your mode selector and you have a wireless charger as well, now you can see
10:46 that my phone actually fits perfectly with this, now since the wireless charger is not
10:50 working because the door is open right now, you get a manual handbrake and you get ventilated
10:56 seats, where is it, ah, here, you can see you get ventilated seats for the front two
11:00 seats, I mean, obviously, the rear seat also looks like it gets ventilated seat, but I
11:05 mean, the front two seats are only ventilated, you have a couple of options over there for
11:09 your ventilation and coming to the seat over here, you can see that the seat, again, fit
11:15 and finish quality is awesome, you get these plastic elements on the seat as well, I don't
11:19 know why, but yeah, this looks cool, you have a two-tone interior with the seat and the
11:23 interior and you can see you have a sunroof, I mean, it's a pretty narrow sunroof, I mean,
11:29 you have a sunroof, it's like this big, but yeah, it has a sunroof, plus, you have this
11:34 SOS feature over here, you can operate your sunroof and your lights over here, these are
11:40 your LED cabin lights, you get an auto-dimming IRVM over here and now coming to this, this
11:48 what you see over here is the all-new touchscreen infotainment system, it's a 10.25-inch infotainment
11:55 system and the touch is actually very nice and you have a lot of features that you can,
12:01 I mean, you can connect your phone, you also have voice command features in over 200 voice
12:06 commands in six different languages, I mean, yeah, if you want to open the sunroof, if
12:10 you want to increase the temperature, change your music, I mean, you have to sit and explore,
12:15 I mean, there is a lot to explore, but this infotainment system is actually nice, it's
12:20 kind of a floating screen, has got a very less bezel to it, so it gives that premium
12:24 feel to that car, plus if you talk about the second screen, that is again a 10.25-inch,
12:30 that's the instrument cluster, fully digital instrument cluster and you have a lot of information
12:35 that is given out by this cluster, so you can customise the cluster according to your
12:40 need and if you notice that the cluster also has the same kind of theme like the interior
12:45 and the exterior as well, so overall guys, the seat, the driver's seat is height-adjusted,
12:51 both seats are manual and again, the refresh design of the Nexon looks fabulous, you have
12:58 a nine-speaker setup from JBL that includes a subwoofer as well, so I mean, Tata is well
13:04 known for their sound system because obviously the JBL sound system sounded actually too
13:09 good, so but this has got an updated version of it, so it is just fantastic, you also have
13:14 an aircon, that is an air purifier in the car, so it keeps on telling you what is the
13:18 air quality within the cabin or outside the cabin, so overall guys, comment below how
13:24 did you like the interior, especially the front end because the steering wheel, everything
13:28 has actually changed, so now let's quickly drive the car and I'll tell you how the all-new
13:34 Nexon is to drive.
13:35 So now we have the driving seat of the all-new Nexon and let me tell you a quick engine brief
13:45 about this car, so this new Nexon will be available in again, two engine options, that
13:50 is the petrol and the diesel variant, now the petrol is a 1.2-litre turbocharged engine,
13:57 that's a three-cylinder and the diesel is a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine, now there
14:02 are four gearbox options, so the one we are driving today is the DCA or the dual-clutch
14:08 transmission, so you have a five-speed manual, you have a six-speed manual, you have a DCT,
14:14 that's a dual-clutch transmission and you have an AMT, now the dual-clutch transmission
14:18 will only be available with the petrol, that's the turbo petrol variant and that is what
14:23 we are driving today, so as far as the power figure goes, the petrol variant produces around
14:29 120bhp and 170nm of peak torque, it's weighted to either a manual transmission or the AMT,
14:35 I mean actually the petrol one comes with all the transmission option, the diesel one
14:40 produces around 115bhp of power and 260nm of peak torque, obviously the torque output
14:47 is higher on the diesel variant and the diesel is only available with two gearbox options,
14:51 that is the manual and the AMT gearbox.
14:54 Now as far as the power figures on the turbo petrol one, so we'll be talking about this
14:58 today since we are driving this, the diesel one we will be getting later, so the power
15:03 figures on this as mentioned are 120 and 170, that's 120bhp, 170nm of peak torque and that
15:10 is pretty decent, I mean for a car of this size, acceleration is linear at the start
15:15 but suddenly when the boost kicks in is when you will have that sudden surge of power and
15:21 that will like push you back in the seat, so let me just get a quick open stretch, so
15:26 I can demonstrate that and other than that, it has got a very decent mid-range and a good
15:33 top end, so the initial acceleration is just linear and with that you have three driving
15:38 modes, you have eco, you have city, you have sport, so right now we are in sport mode and
15:43 I am doing 30km/hr and I am at B3, so once I floor it, you'll see that it shifts to B2,
15:51 shift line is around 6500rpm and after that the car becomes really really peppy, overall
15:59 power delivery is nice, the throttle response and the throttle response changes with the
16:04 mode, so in eco you have a very soft kind of throttle response, in sport mode you have
16:09 a very aggressive throttle response, so I mean that thing changes as you change the
16:13 mode, rest everything remains the same, the steering wheel feels light, I mean it's on
16:17 the lighter side, it has a good feel, a good grip to it, also the steering response is
16:22 also nice, now if you couple that with the suspension, set up now the suspension on the
16:27 next one as you can see, there are some undulations on the road and it is taking them really nicely,
16:32 it has a soft suspension setup, because of that it has a little amount of body roll as
16:37 well, but since it's a big car, it's a huge car, so some amount of body roll can be there,
16:43 it cannot be ignored, but on the contrary, due to the soft suspension setup, you get
16:48 a very comfortable and a plush ride, so overall it, like right now we are on very good tarmac,
16:54 you can see that, I mean the car is just rolling smoothly, the gears, since this is a dual
17:00 clutch transmission, so the gears shift, I mean very quickly, compared to the regular
17:05 AMT one, so because it's a dual clutch transmission or a DCA is what Tata likes to call it, other
17:12 than that guys, I mean, it is a fun car, especially I mean it's an eye catcher in this colour,
17:17 people have stopped us on the road asking about this colour, whether this colour will
17:21 be more expensive than the regular colours available with the Nexon, but overall I would
17:26 say, I mean, looks wise, drivability wise, this car is just awesome, I mean the Nexon
17:32 was a very big hit in the market, but overall, getting that all new Nexon with all the features
17:40 on the exterior, on the interior, it is just awesome and one more thing, this also gets
17:44 paddle shifters, so the dual clutch transmission also get paddle shifters, just in case you
17:47 wanna move to manual shifting, so you will be able to do that with the help of paddle
17:52 shifters, there is no designated manual mode with the gearbox, you just have PR, N and
17:58 D, there's one more hum coming up and I mean it just glides over it, NVH levels are also
18:05 very nice, they have been improved, but post 4500 RPM is what we feel is when the noise
18:13 starts entering the cabin, but it is not too much, so it won't bother you that much.
18:19 Let's now talk about the safety features, so the new Nexon gets six airbags as standard
18:24 from the base variant to the top variant, which is a really really nice thing and apart
18:30 from that, you have ISOFIX, you have ABS, you have body control, you have electronic
18:34 body stability, I mean, whatever you need, so the Nexon set the benchmark for the safest
18:39 car back in 2017 when it was launched and I mean, this thing will definitely carry on
18:46 the legacy, so yeah guys, if you are looking for a car that is feature loaded, that looks
18:51 good, has features on the exterior, interior, has got everything, has got you covered, so
18:56 you can go definitely check out the all new Tata Nexon.
18:59 Guys, that was the all new Tata Nexon and I hope I explained the car well to you, a
19:09 couple of things I need to tell you about this car, now this car is available in six
19:13 colour options out of which four are dual tone and two are monotone, but the colour
19:17 that you see over here is the special colour that they launched with this and this is called
19:21 the fearless purple, I mean, you comment below and let us know how did you like this, especially
19:26 this colour with the all new Nexon, so if you like this video, please give it a thumbs
19:30 up, share and subscribe to our social media channels, I'm Romi signing out, see you next
