The 2019 Tata Nexon’s designs will remain unchanged. It’s a departure from the boxy styling and comes out more stylish and suave in the SUV segment. Tata will not bring any changes to this design. The Nexon surely turns heads wherever it goes and looks really impressive and attractive.
Tata cars have always been spacious and so is the Nexon. This is also one of the biggest USPs of the Nexon. In terms of space and features, the Nexon is extremely competitive. There is a generous amount of leg room and headroom, both at the front and at the rear. The 2019 Tata Nexon will still carry on this trait.
There are a number of features including keyless entry, push start-stop, HD touchscreen system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and reverse camera. Navigation can be connected from a smartphone. For rear passengers, there will be AC vents with blower speed control and rear armrest too. All these features are going to see no change or upgrade in the 2019 Tata Nexon.
The 2019 Tata Nexon will come with the same petrol and diesel engine. The 1.2-litre turbo petrol delivers about 108bhp of power and 180Nm of maximum torque. The Tata Tiago also uses the same engine, but it gets a turbocharger in the Nexon, for better performance. The power output is also higher. It comes mated to a six-speed manual transmission. This is something unique in this segment for a petrol vehicle. The other engine is a 1.5-litre diesel engine that churns out about 108bhp of power and it comes with best-in-class torque of 260Nm. The diesel engine is the most powerful one in the segment and this also comes with a 6speed manual transmission. This year the Nexon also got an AMT gearbox too. This engine is a four-cylinder one, unlike the three-cylinder one found on the Tiago. Both engines get multiple driving modes which are Eco, City and Sport.
Now, what about the JTP version. It’s neither confirmed or denied by Tata Motors that there will such a car. There is a possibility that there will be one before the facelift model arrives. The same strategy was used when the Tata Tiago XZ plus was revealed. The car will get a more powerful engine and will be lower and more aggressive in its looks. Let’s keep our fingers crossed as there have been reports of cam0-covered Nexon’s testing in Coimbatore, the headquaters of Tata’s JTP arm.
