The version tested was the facelift version which Tata had given back in September 2023.

But now the facelift version got tested under the new stringent 2022 protocols and secured another 5 Star NCAP Rating. It’s worth noting that this 5 Star GNCAP rating is valid for Nexon developed after August 8th, 2023.
