Exterior
When the Nexon EV facelift arrived in late 2024, Tata had completely overhauled its visual identity by drawing heavily from the Curvv concept, ditching the older, rounded aesthetics for a starkly futuristic face. The front fascia utilises a modern split-headlamp arrangement, positioning the main full-LED clusters lower on the sharply sculpted bumper, which is flanked by functional air curtains.
The defining feature is undeniably the full-width LED light bar stretching across the nose, adding welcome/goodbye animations and doubling as a charge indicator.
The Medium Range offers a solid 205 mm of unladen ground clearance, while the heavier Long Range sits slightly lower at 190 mm. The Red Dark Edition drapes the exterior in a gloss black look, sitting on 16-inch black alloys, featuring subtle red accents.
Interior: High-Tech Ambience with a Few Rough Edges
Inside, the layout mirrors the ICE Nexon, except for differences in upholstery colour options and subtle blue stitching to remind you it’s an EV. The fundamental design is the same as that offered on the Tata Curvv EV, and it does feel clean and premium.
Your attention is hijacked by twin high-res screens and a two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo, which we have seen in many Tata cars now.
What’s also undistinguished from other modern Tata cars is the touch-capacitive setup for the HVAC controls. The old rotary gear selector is gone, replaced by a conventional lever. A rotary dial remains, but it now handles drive modes, though it can be slightly sluggish to engage on the fly.
Build Quality
The Nexon EV feels robustly built. The interior, too, adopts many soft-touch materials with the facelift, though a keen eye will still spot a few fit-and-finish inconsistencies.
