The Nexon Dark edition is available only on the higher-spec Creative and Fearless trims of the SUV, with prices ranging from Rs 11.45 lakh to Rs 15.80 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India)

Tata Nexon Dark

When the facelifted Tata Nexon was launched in September 2023, the carmaker hadn’t introduced its Dark edition then. Fast forward to March 2024 and Tata has launched this special edition of the new Nexon as well, but only on the higher-spec Creative and Fearless trims for a premium of Rs 35,000. It has now reached dealerships and here’s how it looks in real life:

Front

Tata has given a black treatment to all the silver-finished elements in the bumper. As seen on the Tata Nexon EV’s Dark edition, the ‘Tata’ logo on the regular model’s special version also is a 2D element with a dark chrome finish. Apart from these changes, the Nexon Dark continues to feature the triangular housing for the split-LED headlights and fog lamps setup.

Side

In profile, the Nexon Dark is seen with all-black finish for the roof rails, ORVM housings and door handles. It also gets #Dark badges on the front fenders and a new 5-spoke design for the all-black 16-inch alloy wheels.

Rear

At the back, the Nexon Dark sports a chrome finish for the ‘Nexon’ moniker while it has a blacked-out bumper featuring a redesigned skid plate (also finished in black). Apart from these changes, it still has the same LED connected taillights as the regular model.

Cabin

The Nexon Dark also gets the same all-black treatment to its cabin and leatherette seat upholstery as prevalent on the new Nexon EV Dark. Other revised bits include #Dark embossing on the front headrests and tri-arrow pattern with blue accents on the upholstery.

In terms of features, the Nexon Dark doesn’t get any new amenities apart from what’s already available on the standard SUV, which includes dual 10.25-inch displays (one for infotainment and the other for instrumentation), wireless phone charging, and ventilated front seats. Its safety kit includes six airbags, a 360-degree camera, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
