Tata Motors, a pioneer in vehicle safety in India, has raised the bar once again by introducing the highly anticipated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in its top-selling Nexon sub-compact SUV.
This significant update not only reinforces the Nexon’s 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating but also positions it as one of the most technologically advanced vehicles in its segment. Alongside the ADAS introduction, Tata Motors has also rolled out the striking Nexon Red #DARK Edition, offering a sporty and premium aesthetic.
The ADAS-equipped Nexon starts at an ex-showroom price of ₹13.53 lakh, making top-tier active safety features accessible to a wider audience.
Level-1 ADAS: What’s New in the Nexon’s Safety Suite?
The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) package in the Tata Nexon brings a comprehensive list of active safety technologies designed to assist the driver and prevent accidents. These are primarily available on the top-spec Fearless Plus PS variant with the turbo-petrol DCA (Dual-Clutch Automatic) transmission.
| ADAS Feature | Function | Safety Benefit |
| Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) | Automatically applies brakes to avoid or mitigate collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists. | Critical accident prevention, especially in city traffic. |
| Forward Collision Warning (FCW) | Alerts the driver if the system detects an impending collision. | Provides the driver with crucial reaction time. |
| Lane Keep Assist (LKA) | Provides gentle steering input to help keep the vehicle centered in the lane. | Reduces driver fatigue and prevents unintentional lane drifting. |
| Lane Departure Warning (LDW) | Warns the driver if the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without the indicator. | Enhances highway safety and reduces side-swipe risk. |
| Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) | Detects and displays important road signs (like speed limits) on the instrument cluster. | Helps the driver adhere to traffic rules. |
| High Beam Assist (HBA) | Automatically switches between high and low beam based on oncoming traffic. | Improves night visibility for the driver and prevents dazzling others. |
