Tata Nexon will be launched in 2017. This will be coming with a range of first in segment features and Tata will be offering it with an AMT and even a new 1.5-litre diesel engine. This will make the Nexon one of the most powerful in its segment, with regards to the diesel engine. The petrol is a 1.2-litre turbo engine as well. Tata Motors has been working on a range of new engines and technologies that it will be adding on its upcoming products.

Most of the testing for the diesel engine is done, however the 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine is still undergoing major testing and there is some more time for it to be launched. This compact SUV was showcased at the Auto Expo 2016 is an almost ready SUV but the final set of testing will be done by 2017.

Tata Nexon Design (with AMT)

Based on the new Impact design language, the Nexon is Tata Motors latest compact SUV. This new compact SUV reflects sportiness and style in its design. There is blue, matte white and matte grey colours that are used pre-dominantly. In terms of styling, it looks more like a crossover from the front. The rising belittling and shallow glass area make the Nexon look aggressive.

This compact SUV is one of the most stylish looking SUVs in its segment.

The side profile of the Nexon has a sloping roof and there is a sharp crease that rises with the belt line. The roof line is grey in colour, with the door pillars being black. The matte white colour theme continues on the window panel as well. There is a thick C-pillar and the large 16-inch tyres make it look sporty. The rear windshield is small and there are small tail lamps. The rear bumper even has matte black portions too.

This SUV is under four metres in length. It shares the same platform with the Zest and the Bolt. The Nexon follows Tata Motors’ new Impact design language.

Tata Nexon Interior(with AMT)

The new Nexon interiors have been designed from an empty sheet. The new compact SUV from Tata Motors will be made available with an all new set of features and this could even include the start stop button for the engine. Tata Motors is offering an array of new features on the Nexon and this will be the next compact SUV to hit the market. This is somewhat similar to the Bolt and the Zest, however it has different font. This will come with features like keyless entry, push start and stop button, a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with reverse parking camera, maps, aux, bluetooth and USB connectivity. This music system makes through eight Harman speakers.

There are a lot of storage spaces with one-litre bottle storage in the door pocket, centre arm rest, cup holders in the centre, mobile phone storage space ahead of the gear lever, storage space next to the steering wheel (right hand side) and even is even an umbrella holder in the front doors. The interiors are spacious with sufficient space in both the rows.

Tata Motors has always excelled in space. All their vehicles have always been extremely spacious and the Nexon will be spacious too. The Nexon with its taller stance, has improved the head room in the cabin and then this compact SUV has good knee room too, for rear passengers as well. Where the it shines is the option of rear AC vents, which isn’t available on most of the competition. There is a slot on the door for umbrellas, this is another strong point for this compact SUV.

Tata Nexon Engine (with AMT)

Tata Nexon will be offered with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine. The diesel one will be a 1.5-litre one that shall churn out 108bhp of power and 260Nm of maximum torque. These are newly developed engines by Tata Motors and the diesel will come with a six-speed manual transmission.

The Nexon will come with three driving modes. This time it will have a knob for changing driving modes, instead of the buttons that were used on the Bolt and the Zest. The Tata Nexon will be a front wheel drive and the ground clearance will be 200mm.

An AMT might also be on offer. Tata might be planning to even use the 1.05-litre diesel on the Nexon, to get a lower priced version and for a more fuel-efficient version. The reason why the Nexon shines is because it will have the most powerful diesel engine on offer. Today, the competition is offering about 100bhp of power on the Ford Ecosport and the Mahindra Nuvosport. The Tata Nexon with 110bhp and six-speed manual transmission, will be an even more stronger player.  Tata could be looking at getting a smaller diesel engine option too on the Nexon to make it more affordable and have a good fuel efficiency rating too.
