Tata Nexon Launched in South Africa as Osprey: Check How it Differs From Indian Spec Model

Key Highlights:

• Tata Nexon enters South Africa as the Tata Osprey
• Prices start at R249,900 in the South African market
• Launch carried out in partnership with Motus Holdings
• Tata Motors unveils its new global customer-facing identity, TATA.CARS

The Tata Osprey is priced from R 2,49,900 and will be sold through authorised Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles dealerships across South Africa.

The Tata Osprey gets a bold SUV design with several premium features. It comes equipped with a panoramic sunroof, Bi-LED headlamps, LED DRLs and X-Graphic full LED taillights. The SUV also gets 16-inch alloy wheels, along with a muscular stance. The overall design remains similar to the Tata Nexon sold in India, although specifications and equipment can vary depending on the market.

The SUV comes with fully automatic climate control and a cooled glove box, while the cabin has been designed to provide generous space for passengers. The feature list also includes a 26.03 cm digital instrument cluster, wireless charger and push-button start with passive entry. Other equipment includes cruise control, a touch-based control panel and both Type-A and Type-C USB charging ports.

Tata Motors highlighted the Nexon's safety credentials, with the original model becoming the first made-in-India car to achieve a five-star rating under Global NCAP. The South African-spec Osprey continues this safety focus with six airbags, Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It also gets front parking sensors, automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers.

A 360-degree HD surround-view system with a Blind View Monitor is also offered. Tata says the SUV's safety architecture is designed to provide confidence across different driving conditions.
