By September 2025, this sub-4-meter powerhouse will remain on the top with the combination of rugged look, best safety metrics, and flexible powertrains- including the highly praised electric one. With a sales record of over 800,000 units sold in the first half of the year, the sales growth of the Nexon is really a tale of unstoppable demand, with sales of above 15,000 units every month and the top-selling cars in the sub-compact SUV segment in August, with over 55,000 units sold in the category.
The 2025 Nexon is priced at Rs 8 lakh ex-showroom, but it is more than just a cost-effective car; it is an intelligent choice for urban adventurers, young families, and environmentally conscious drivers. Recent additions, such as the introduction of ADAS to the EV model, new colour choices such as Royale Blue and Grassland Beige, and a turbo-CNG version, ensure that it meets the requirements of a variety of customers without reducing the performance or the peace of mind. It is in this little deep dive that we find out why the Tata Nexon is the car to buy when you want a compact SUV. We see sales spurred by new norms of safety in 2025.
The Story of Tata Nexon: Bold Entry to Sales Miracle
The Tata Nexon was an unprecedented change in the history of Tata Motors as a company, shifting its image from a low-cost competitor to a safety innovator. The 5-star Global NCAP rating of the first-generation model was an immediate breakthrough in its segment and was hard to come by. Facelift added Impact 2.0 design language, sharper LED lighting and improved interiors, thus making it more appealing by 2020.
The second facelift in September 2023 took it a step higher, which included a panorama sunroof, air-conditioned seats, and a 10.25-inch digital cluster. Moving to 2025, the Nexon range has grown with the ADAS technology of the Nexon EV, Dark Edition facelift at Bharat Mobility Expo, and the addition of CNG features to travel in a greener manner. The milestones in production indicate its success: 800,000 units sold by March 2025, 15,000+ units sold in January alone- a 44 per cent year-over-year increase in EV production in August, representing the company as a whole.
This growth isn’t accidental. Tata has concentrated on localisation (greater than 95 per cent domestic content) that keeps costs low, and has a huge network of dealers that makes it accessible. With a segment that is expanding at an average 5% per month the Nexon holds 30-35% market share and beats its competitors with a dependability of word-of-mouth and a festive price up to Rs 1.55 lakh after GST reductions. With India rapidly moving towards electrification, the Nexon with two ICE-EV would make it a kind of icon of tomorrow.
Art Deco and Spacey Furnishings: Indian Roads
Tata Nexon has a length of 3,995mm, a width of 1,811 mm, and a height of 1,616mm with a 2,498 mm wheelbase to optimise cabin space without crossing the sub-4m taxation cut-off. Its muscular posture, elevated hood, and shaped lines emanate a high-end SUV, and come in nine colours with the latest Royale Blue. The Dark version comes with sneaky blacked-out accents and red insertions to give it a sporty look.
The interior is luxurious and has a dual-tone interior that is made up of soft-touch materials, ambient lighting, and a flat-bottom steering wheel. In-car rear occupants will have 350 mm of legroom and 60:40 folding split-fold seats, which create 322 litres of boot space that can be expanded to accommodate a weekend haul. Upgraded versions, such as Fearless + PS, include a 360-degree camera and JBL audio to enhance the driving experience.
The most important design and comfort features are:
- Outside Features: 16-inch diamond-cut alloys, roof rails, and LED bi-projector headlights give the car a rough appearance.
- Interior Amenities: 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, wireless charger, and cooled glovebox.
- Seats and Space: Ventilated seats in the front, a height-adjustable driver seat, and lots of headroom (950 mm front).
- Convenience Features: Auto-dimming IRVM, top trims have Push-button start, and rain-sensing wipers.
Its 208 mm ground clearance ensures that it can go through potholes and monsoons without any trouble and is therefore perfect for the varied nature of India. The agile steering and 5.1-meter turning radius excel in the urban mayhem, whereas the highway stability is impressive at 120 kmph.
Powertrains Unleashed: Turbo Efficiency to Electric Thrills
The Nexon comes with versatile engines, which are all BS6 Phase 2 compliant and provide it with punchy performance and the best efficiency in the segment. The 1.2 litre turbo-petrol (Revotron) has a power of 120 PS and 170 Nm, with 5/6-speed manuals, 6-speed AMT, or 7-speed DCT, with a 10-second 0-100 kmph sprint time, on road mileage: 17-19km/l urban, 22-24km/l highway.
The 1.5-litre diesel (Revotorq) has 115 PS and 260 Nm with a 6-speed manual/AMT with 23-25kmpl combined- ideal on long routes. The game changer is the turbo-CNG type, which is derated to 100 PS, taking 24km/kg, cutting down on expenses to Rs 3/km.
Introducing the Nexon EV 2025: It has either a 40.5 kWh or a 46.08 kWh battery, which drives a 127-143 PS motor with a stated range of 275-489 km ARAI (real 350-400 km). It has 0-100 in 8.9 seconds and V2L/V2V charging and 50 kW DC fast-charging (10-80 per cent in 60 minutes). ADAS Level 2 presupposes such functions as adaptive cruise and lane-keep assist, which is why it is a first in its segment.
Powertrain perks:
- Drive Modes City, Eco, Sport in order to have tailored responses.
- Transmission Variety: DCT in the case of smooth shifts, AMT in the case of low-cost automatics.
- Efficiency Boosters: Idle start-stop and regenerative braking in EVs.
- Eco Edge: CNG emits less CO 2 (20 less) and EV (70 less than petrol).
This 44 per cent sales peak of the EV in the green push in 2025 is indicative of the EV adoption in India, with the cost of charging vehicles at home being 1 per km.
Pricing and Versions: Premium Value Accessibility
The Nexon starts at a base price of Rs 8 lakh in Smart petrol, and reaches a maximum of Rs 15.60 lakh in Fearless+ PS Dark Diesel AMT, which is an on-road price. On September 22, after the revision of GST, the prices fell by Rs 68,000-1.52 lakh on Smart, Pure, Creative and Fearless lines of 54 variants.
EV price: Rs 12.49-17.49 lakh, and ADAS is cost-added at a higher price to the top trims by Rs 30,000. CNG versions cost more by over 1 lakh compared to petrol, which is recovered over a distance of 20,000 km. Financing at 8% interest will bring EMIs of up to Rs 12,000/month.
Variant breakdown:
- Smart (Base): Rs 8 lakh, features such as a 7-inch screen and dual airbags.
- Pure+: 10 lakh, includes sunroof and cruise control.
- Creative+ PS: Rs 12.5 lakh, panoramic sunroof, and 360-camera.
- Fearless+ PS dark: Rs 15 lakh, ventilated seats and JBL sound.
Competitors such as the Hyundai Venue or the Kia Sonet begin at a higher price, but the Nexon is safer than those cars, which is worth the price. Festive and 3 3-year warranty make the deal sweet.
Unparalleled Safety: The 5 Star Fortress on Wheels
The Nexon is characterised by safety. The Nexon received five stars from Global NCAP (in the adult test: 29.39/34, in the child test: 44.52/49) and Bharat NCAP in 2024. Standard equipment: 6 airbags, ESP, ABS with EBD and hill-hold. Its body is made of high-strength steel (55 per cent ultra-high tensile), and it is a great impact absorber.
High technology services in 2025 models: 360-degree camera, blind spot monitor, TPMS, and front sensors. The ADAS of the EV variant consists of auto emergency braking and traffic jam assist. The family is also provided with ISOFIX anchors and 3-point ELR belts.

- Standard Safeguards: There are six airbags, traction control and disc brakes everywhere.
- Visibility Technologies: Rear cross-traffic and auto high-beam.
