Besides a fresh styling, the new Tata Nexon 2023 brings a lot of new features to each variant. In this article, we’ll see all the standard features of the new Tata Nexon and point out all that’s new in the Nexon base model. We’ll also highlight the must-have features that are missing in the Nexon base variant and we wish Tata offered. Let’s start off with the list of standard features.

2023 Tata Nexon Base Model Standard Features

The following table lists out all the standard features of the 2023 Nexon Smart base model:

TATA NEXON SMART BASE MODEL STANDARD FEATURES
Safety	Functional	Style
LED reflector headlamps	4-inch MID	Gloss black grille
Std. safety features	4x umbrella holders in doors	Body-coloured bumpers
2x front side thorax airbags	All door pockets	Connected LED tail lamps
2x curtain airbags	4x bottle holders	Black outside mirrors
Electronic stability control (ESC)	5-speed manual (with petrol engine)	LED DRLs
Hill start assist (HSA)	Manual AC	Integrated spoiler
5x 3-point seatbelts	Front adjustable headrests	Indicators on outside mirrors
ISOFIX	Front power windows	16-inch steel wheels
Traction control	Multi drive modes (Eco, City, Sport)	2-spoke steering wheel with backlit logo
Manual central locking	Tilt steering	Fabric upholstery
	Internally adjustable outside mirrors

Considering that Tata are offering LED DRLs, LED headlamps, connected LED tail lamps and gloss black outside mirrors as standard, even the base Smart variant of the Nexon will appear pretty smart. On the safety front too, Tata have included a good number of features like 6 airbags, ABS, ESC, HSA, TC and 5x 3-point seatbelts right from the base model demonstrating their commitment to making safer cars.

2023 Tata Nexon Base Model New Features

Compared to the old Nexon base model (XE), the new Smart variant gets a bunch of new features. While carrying over almost all of the features of the older model, the base variant of the new Nexon 2023 adds the following new features to the mix:

TATA NEXON SMART BASE MODEL NEW FEATURES
Safety	Functional & Style
LED reflector headlamps	5-speed manual (with petrol engine)
2x front side thorax airbags	2-spoke steering wheel with backlit logo
2x curtain airbags	Connected LED tail lamps

The Nexon base model has always had a strong focus on safety and included ESC, TC and HSA along with projector headlamps and LED DRLs for better visibility. This time, with the 2023 update, the base Smart variant of the Nexon gets LED reflector headlamps instead of halogen projectors and 4 extra airbags. In other aspects, it gets connected LED tail lamps and a new, 2-spoke steering wheel design with backlick Tata logo. A 5-speed transmission with the petrol engine is a new feature too, replacing the 6-speed manual transmission. Higher variants of the Nexon get a 6-speed manual with the turbo petrol engine.

2023 Tata Nexon Base Model Missing Features

Among the most notable features missing in the base model are:

Remote central locking
Music system
Steering-mounted controls
Rear power windows
Power mirrors
Wheel covers
6-speed manual transmission
Body-coloured door handles
Day/night inside mirror

Except for the power mirrors, body-coloured outside mirrors, steering-mounted controls and a 6-speed manual transmission, the others are fairly easy to install from the aftermarket. It’s surprising to see that Tata engineered and made the same 1.2L turbo petrol engine work with a 5-speed manual transmission only for the base variant. As long as it has the gear ratios spaced out well, it shouldn’t affect the Nexon’s highway drivability as it has the same power and torque output as the higher variants.

Another big omission is the day/night inside mirror, which is only available with the Creative and higher trims. Similarly, a basic feature like body-coloured door handles is only available in the Creative and higher trims.
