Tata Nexon - A Brief History
The Tata Nexon was launched in India in mid-2017. However, its production version was first showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo. The Nexon made a very strong positive impact and it became an instant hit in the Indian market. In August 2018, it achieved the title of India's Safest Car and became the first Indian car to bag a 5-Star safety rating in the Global NCAP Crash Test. Then, in early 2020, Tata Motors gave this sub-compact SUV a mid-life update with revised looks, BS6 compliant engines and new features.
