Tata Nexon Facelift Spied Testing Yet Again, Shows Undisguised Front-End Design

A test mule of the Tata Nexon facelift has been spotted doing testing rounds once again, but this time, the updated SUV has been spied partly undisguised. The Nexon facelift is anticipated to see its official reveal in the country in the coming weeks, followed by its launch. First things first, the front end of the Nexon will follow Tata's latest design language, which is also seen on the Punch SUV. While a previous set of spy images had revealed the Nexon sporting a sleek grille, LED daytime running lights, and vertical pod headlights, the latest spy shots showed off the car's front end in more detail. Based on the fresh spy shots, the test mule featured an updated front fascia with a slim grille flanked by LED DRLs, a split headlamp setup, a revised central air intake, a vertically stacked headlamp cluster, and a 360-degree camera.
