Tata Motors is developing a next-generation Nexon with a revised body structure, and the latest interior spy shots suggest the project is still early in testing. The model is expected to keep its SUV footprint but move toward a boxier shape and a new cabin, with launch timing likely around 2027.

The leaked footage shows a cabin that largely follows the current Nexon’s layout, with the infotainment screen and centre console visible and a steering wheel similar to today’s model, though several dashboard panels are missing on this prototype. The climate control unit is expected to get a new design, and Tata is likely to push for a more premium feel with better-quality plastics and trims. Features tipped for the new cabin include a digital interior rear-view mirror, a modern QLED infotainment screen and an electronic parking brake on petrol variants.
Under the bonnet, the next-gen Nexon is rumoured to continue with the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engines, with petrol, CNG and diesel options paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
What it means for Nepal
Tata already sells the Nexon EV in Nepal, priced from Rs 38.99 lakh to Rs 50.99 lakh. That places it above the Tata Punch EV at Rs 33.99 lakh–Rs 37.99 lakh and the Tata Tiago EV at Rs 28.99 lakh–Rs 29.99 lakh, while overlapping the higher end of Tata’s EV range with the XPRES-T EV at Rs 38.49 lakh and the Punch petrol at Rs 29.99 lakh–Rs 45.49 lakh.
For Nepali buyers, the near-term takeaway is simple: this is not a Nepal launch yet, and pricing for the next-gen model has not been confirmed locally. If Tata brings the updated Nexon here later, it could reset the brand’s compact SUV and EV pricing ladder upward.
