How Will The New Tata Nexon Look?
The current generation of the Tata Nexon is based on the X1 platform. Interestingly, this platform has been around since the launch of the Tata Indica in 1998, and it hasn’t changed much. Though not confirmed yet, the next-gen Nexon could be underpinned by Tata’s latest ARGOS platform, currently used in the Sierra. In terms of design changes, Tata is likely to offer a slimmer front grille, vertically stacked LED headlamps, full-width LED DRLs and redesigned bumpers.
