# Auto Desk

Tata Motors has taken a major leap in electric mobility technology with the launch of the Tata Nexon EV with Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) in September 2025. By integrating Level 2 ADAS features, the Nexon EV becomes one of the first sub-4-metre electric SUVs in India to offer such advanced safety and convenience technologies, reinforcing its position as a market leader in electric vehicles.

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) Features

The Nexon EV’s new ADAS suite significantly boosts driver safety through a range of intelligent systems:

  • Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): Real-time detection and display of important road signs like speed limits.
  • Lane Centring System (LCS): Helps keep the SUV safely centred within its lane during highway cruising.
  • Lane Departure Warning (LDW) & Lane Keep Assist (LKA): These combined features alert the driver when unintentionally drifting out of a lane and automatically steer the vehicle back.
  • Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Warns the driver of potential forward collisions with vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians.
  • Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): Automatically applies brakes if the driver fails to react in time to avoid an accident.
  • High Beam Assist (HBA): Automatically switches between high and low beams based on approaching or preceding traffic.

This comprehensive ADAS level 2 system is aimed at reducing human errors and enhancing on-road safety, especially on busy urban roads and highways.

  • A panoramic sunroof that brightens the cabin and provides a premium feel.
  • A large 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system powered by Qualcomm, supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
  • Enhanced connectivity with access to app stores for entertainment options while charging.

The Dark Edition and Red Dark Edition variants bring stylistic boldness with all-black and black-red exterior and interior themes, appealing to young, style-conscious buyers.
