The front grille now sports a mesh insert instead of the three slats, while the entire front bumper has been redesigned with LED fog lamps and chrome trimming. There’s a new brushed silver finished skid plate up front, and the beefed up wheel arches now accommodate newly designed wheels. This digital modification helps the utilitarian Xenon to look more sophisticated and upmarket, while hinting at a possible Xenon 2.0.

As for firepower, the Tata Xenon employs a 2.2-litre VARICOR engine sourced from the Safari Storme that fires out 147 bhp at 4,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 320 Nm between 1,500 and 3,000 rpm. In export markets, the Xenon is also available as a 4WD variant, along with a new 6-speed automatic transmission.
