New Royal Blue Colour Scheme
The Nexon facelift was recently spotted during the shoot of its TV commercial, revealing its exterior design in full glory. The spy images show that the Nexon facelift will sport a new Royal Blue colour scheme, which was recently added to the Nexon lineup.
Major Makeover for the Front End
The front end of the car will get a major makeover, with a slimmer grille, a floating Tata logo, and a split LED headlamp setup. The sleek DRLs will be positioned on the bonnet line, while the main headlamp clusters will be housed within the front bumper. The bumper will also feature triangular pods on either side, which could house fog lamps or air vents.
Unchanged Side Profile with New Alloy Wheel Design
The side profile of the Nexon facelift will remain largely unchanged, except for a new alloy wheel design. The wheels will have a dual-tone finish and a five-spoke pattern.
Thorough Revamp for the Rear End
The rear end of the car will also get a thorough revamp, with a flatter tailgate, redesigned LED tail lights with an LED light bar, and a reprofiled bumper. The roof-mounted spoiler will be reshaped and wrapped around the C-pillar, while the rear wiper will be tucked underneath it. The car will also retain its roof rails, shark-fin antenna, and turn indicators on ORVMs.
