Tata Motors is gearing up for a significant generational update of its Nexon compact SUV, with a launch anticipated by mid-2027. This move follows the current generation's debut in September 2017. The Nexon has achieved considerable success, with cumulative wholesale sales exceeding 10.5 lakh units between 2017 and April 2026.
In 2025, the Nexon achieved its strongest year yet, surpassing 2 lakh annual volumes. This resurgence occurred after a slowdown in 2024, with sales dropping to 1.61 lakh units. Tata Motors countered this by enhancing its multi-powertrain strategy, offering petrol, diesel, EV, and CNG options.
The Nexon CNG, introduced in 2024, emerged as a key growth contributor, selling over 66,000 units in 2025. The upcoming second-generation model is expected to feature substantial design and engineering upgrades, aligning with Tata Motors' latest SUV design language.
This new Nexon is projected to maintain its role as a crucial model for Tata Motors, helping the company sustain leadership in a competitive segment and support its transition towards diverse fuel strategies.
