Recently Tata Motors sold 2772 units of Nexon in 9 days just after it's launch! In This blog, we at Techion Auto would be highlighting few points which make Tata Nexon Different from its Rivals
Tata Nexon is the first sub 4-meter compact SUV from Tata in India. Tata Motors is known for putting competitive price tags on their vehicles, and the Nexon is no different. The Nexon prices start at Rs. 5.85 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. It is Rs. 1.3 lakh is cheaper than the Ford EcoSport base. The diesel variant is priced at Rs. 6.85 lakh, which is Rs. 53,000 cheaper than the Maruti Vitara Brezza, which is only available in diesel.
The attractive price tag bundled with a long list of features and good looks has enabled Tata Motors to capture so many customers. Tata has launched the vehicle during the festive season, which generally sees a trend of higher car sales compared to the rest of the year. Tata Nexon now has a waiting period of 6 to 8 weeks depending on the variant and colour chosen by the customer.
Tata Nexon – Exterior Design
Keeping in with the manufacturer’s latest design language, the Nexon compact SUVhas all the design elements of a modern Tata car. These comprise of – The Humanity Line, Diamond DLO and the Slingshot Line. Designers have also made use of ceramic finish appliques in the front bumper, window line and the at the back. The best part about the design is that it stays true to the concept that was showcased a few years back. Tata has stated that the looks will take precedence and that they will be targeting a younger demographic.
Tata Nexon – Interior Design
The interior is also nearly identical to the ones we saw in the concept. The rear seat space and headroom is decent in spite of the coupe-ish roofline. When launched, the Nexon will be unlike any other compact SUV on sale thanks to its coupe-like silhouette, dual tone colour scheme and the use of ceramic applique all around. The dashboard features a very Audi-like floating touchscreen. Bits like the steering wheel come from other Tata products. It would definitely be the car to buy if you want to stand out from the crowd.
Tata Nexon Engine & Transmission
The Nexon compact SUV features a 1.2 L, three-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that belts out a peak power and torque of around 108 BHP and 170 Nm. This unit is basically a turbo version of the 1.2 L Revotron engine that powers the Tiago hatchback. The diesel motor is an entirely new 1.5-litre unit that also outputs 110 BHp but a peak torque of 260 Nm. Currently, both the engines come with a 6-speed manual transmission. However, AMT automatic variants should follow in a few months. The Nexon becomes the the most powerful diesel compact SUV on sale in the country.
