The Tata Nexon has just hit another milestone: it has crossed the 6-lakh units production mark. This number is inclusive of both the internal combustion engine (ICE) sub-4m SUV and the Tata Nexon EV. It had crossed the 5-lakh units mark in the first half of 2023.

A Brief Look At The Nexon’s Production History

Tata introduced its first sub-4m SUV back in September 2017 and within six months, it had already garnered over 25,000 bookings. The Nexon achieved the 1-lakh units production landmark in mid 2019.

In early 2020, the carmaker launched the facelifted iteration of the SUV while also bringing out its all-electric version, which went on to become the best-selling electric car in India month-on-month. The Nexon’s journey from the 2-lakh units production milestone to the 5-lakh mark took just two years, between 2021 and 2023. In September 2023, Tata gave another comprehensive update to both the ICE and EV versions of the Nexon.
