New Delhi, March 30 : Tata Motors is riding high on success of its range of new-age cars. The Indian auto giant is now working on the refreshed avatar of its star performer Nexon SUV. The Tata Nexon subcompact SUV has been a stellar success, which essentially offered a great boost to Tata Motors’ sales and pushed the ranking of the carmaker in the highly competitive Indian market.

The Tata Nexon received its first facelift back in 2020 and now we expect a more comprehensive facelift of the car, as this will be its mid-life makeover. The Nexon sub-4 metre SUV has been Tata’s highest-selling model ever since its launch, and its comprehensive refresh will reinstate its positioning amid the advent of many new rivals. However, going by the spy shots of the Nexon facelift’s test mule, Tata Motors seem to be doing more than that, and making its warhorse more impressive and premium to offer a tough fight.
