Tata Nexon EV Max Facelift Spied in Production-Ready Avatar Ahead of India Launch

Tata Motors made headlines in September when it launched the 2023 Nexon facelift for its ICE and EV variants, both of which have garnered a positive response from the Indian market. In a recent development, an intriguing sighting took place as a test mule of the Tata Nexon EV Max facelift was spotted on public roads. Although the test mule was concealed beneath heavy camouflage -  it is anticipated that the Tata Nexon EV Max will retain the same design as the recently launched 2023 Tata Nexon EV facelift. However, there may be some additional badges and accents to differentiate it from the standard version. This sighting serves as a strong indicator that Tata Motors is in the advanced stages of development, hinting that the official launch may take place in the coming months.

Tata Nexon EV Max: Design

Building upon the success of the 2023 Nexon EV facelift, the upcoming Tata Nexon EV Max is set to exhibit the same dynamic and assertive appearance. Drawing inspiration from the Tata Curvv coupe SUV, which made its debut at the 2023 Auto Expo, the Nexon EV Max will showcase the brand's distinctive split LED headlights and DRL configuration at the front. The inclusion of a novel sequential LED DRL headlight design and upgraded alloy wheels will lend the EV a sportier and more contemporary aesthetic.
