The Tata Nexon has started reaching dealer showrooms
now. Here are images of a Nexon in Sundown Grey (TBC) colour from a Calicut
dealership, courtesy Team-BHP. The Nexon in the images is in the XZ+ grade,
which is the range-topper.
The Tata Nexon is Tata Motors’ first small SUV.
Created using the IMPACT design language, the Nexon is the last model developed
on the basis of the X1 platform. The B-SUV is 3,995 mm long, 1,811 mm wide and
1,607 mm tall, and has a 2,498 mm-long wheelbase. It has an exceptionally high
ground clearance of 209 mm.
The Nexon debuts a newly-developed 1.5-litre
turbocharged diesel engine for the brand. This four-cylinder unit is tuned for
110 PS and 260 Nm of torque. The Nexon has a petrol option too, which is a more
powerful iteration of the 1.2-litre Revotron (turbocharged) engine. The
three-cylinder mill produces 110 PS and 170 Nm of torque in the sub-compact
SUV. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard across the range. An AMT option
will follow by early 2018.
On the outside, the Tata Nexon features projector
headlights, LED daytime running lights, 16-inch alloy wheels and LED tail
lamps. Engine start-stop button, automatic climate control, touchscreen
infotainment system with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and front
& rear central armrest are the interior highlights. Safety and driver
assistance features include dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD and CSC and
parking sensors and camera. The Tata Nexon will go on sale on 21 September.
