The inner design of the Nexon facelift closely mirrors that of the Curvv concept, particularly evident in the novel touchscreen arrangement and the contemporary two-spoke steering wheel. The overall aesthetic now boasts enhanced refinement, attributed to sleeker contours, level surfaces, and a reduced dependence on physical buttons.
Dominating the center stage is a floating 10.25-inch touchscreen, although this feature isn't entirely new to the Nexon lineup. The Nexon EV Max Dark Edition, which premiered earlier this year, was the pioneer in integrating it. This enlarged infotainment system presents a significant upgrade over the outgoing 7.0-inch unit, boasting improved user interface and superior graphics. Yet, the 7.0-inch screen will continue to serve the lower trims.

Of equal interest is an all-new, fully digital instrument cluster. While this feature isn't groundbreaking in this segment-models like the Venue, Magnite, and Kiger have already incorporated it-a significant alteration is the fresh two-spoke steering wheel. This wheel now features a set of novel haptic buttons and toggle switches, with a luminescent Tata logo at the core.
An entirely new center console catches the eye, equipped with Tata's patented touch-based HVAC control panel-a technology likely to permeate forthcoming Tata models. This panel incorporates dual toggle switches, presumably catering to temperature and blower adjustments, with most other functions allocated to two rows of haptic touch buttons. While touch-based panels can occasionally be perplexing to navigate, the execution by Tata Motors remains to be evaluated.
Meanwhile, the dashboard retains its dual-tone, textured finish, although the trapezoidal AC vents are now notably slimmer. Fresh storage compartments have been ingeniously integrated into the center console, while the rotary drive selector retains its place, as does the manual handbrake. The door panels exhibit continuity with their previous design.
