Tata Nexon Camo Edition launched in India from Rs 9.99 lakh

Tata Motors has expanded its footprint in the sub-four-meter compact SUV segment with the introduction of the Tata Nexon Camo Edition. Launched in India at an ex-showroom starting price of Rs 9.99 lakh, the special model arrives ahead of the festive season to celebrate a decade of the compact SUV in the country. The Nexon has surpassed a major milestone by crossing 11 lakh customers during its nine-year journey, according to reporting across automotive outlets including Cardekho, Timesnownews, Motoroids, Dynamitenews, and Rushlane.

The limited-period model retains the familiar crossover silhouette, tall road presence, raked windscreen, and sharp lighting signature of the standard Nexon. Cardekho notes that the standard Nexon has been among the top-selling vehicles in the country for the last couple of years, making its design widely familiar to car buyers. To set the Camo Edition apart, Tata Motors has introduced two exclusive exterior paint options. Dynamitenews and Rushlane report that Munnar Mist is a deep green shade that shifts appearance depending on lighting conditions, while Coorg Cloud adopts a metallic grey finish with subtle silver highlights. Distinctive fender badges and Camo-themed perforation on the front seat headrests further separate the special edition from standard trims.

Media additions

Unlike many purely cosmetic packages, the Camo Edition introduces functional cabin technology. Motoroids points out that the cabin receives a substantial upgrade by replacing the older display with a larger 12.3-inch Harman touchscreen infotainment system equipped with embedded navigation. This screen pairs with a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster. Furthermore, Cardekho highlights the integration of a dashcam feature built into the 360-degree surround-view camera system. The dashcam supports continuous recording, post-impact safety footage saving, and internal storage expandable up to 256 GB using a USB pen drive. Additional interior amenities detailed by Dynamitenews and Rushlane include a voice-assisted panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, a nine-speaker JBL sound system with a subwoofer, wireless charging, and automatic climate control.

Mechanically, the vehicle remains unchanged from the standard lineup. Rushlane details that the powertrain choices comprise a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine generating 120 PS and 170 Nm, a 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 114.5 PS and 260 Nm, and a turbocharged iCNG option producing 100 PS and 170 Nm. Transmission choices vary by trim and powertrain, featuring a 6-speed manual, an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCA) transmission. Safety equipment across the range includes six airbags, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), hill-hold assist, ISOFIX child seat mounts, tyre pressure monitoring systems, and Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) on top trims. Cardekho and Motoroids note that the Nexon maintains a 5-star rating in both Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP crash testing.
