Speaking to Autocar India, Pratap Bose, head of design department at Tata Motors, stated that the design team fought with, and also had many discussions with the engineering team to achieve its current design. Both teams worked hard together – as this kind of engineering takes a lot to keep the production car true to concept. As an example, he highlighted how just the Nexon's coupé-like roof line had to be shaved off millimetre-by-millimetre and the rear seat angles adjusted to ensure that the "Tata's DNA of space" inside was not affected.
On the outside, the small SUV features styling elements like a chrome 'Humanity Line' on the upper part of the front grille, sleek looking projector headlamps with LED daytime running lamps, a sloping roofline, LED tail-lamps with chrome accents and 16-inch alloy wheels. The Nexon also gets a ground clearance of 200mm.
For the interior, the Nexon has incorporated innovative features like a floating centre screen, an umbrella slot in the doors, a Drive mode selector knob and a glovebox release button, disguised as the Nexon logo.
