Tata Nexon

• The Tata Nexon is a symbol of Tata’s entry into the fiercely competitive subcompact SUV segment in India.
• The Nexon’s journey began in the 2014 Auto Expo as a prototype.
• The Nexon brought the coupe-inspired silhouette to the mainstream, characterised by a two-tone paint scheme (an industry first in its class at the time), sleek dual headlamps, and a strong chrome signature.
• At the launch, the Nexon offered two engine options in a partnership with AVL Austria, both designed to deliver power and efficiency for urban and highway use.
• The 1.2-litre turbocharged Revotron petrol and 1.5-litre turbocharged Revotorq diesel engines were coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission, with a 6-speed AMT arriving shortly after.
• The Nexon also offered three driving modes: Eco, City, and Sport.
• The Nexon featured technological features such as a floating touchscreen infotainment system developed with Harman.
  

• The front fascia of the Nexon features bi-LED headlamps accompanied by sequential LED daytime running lights (DRLs).
• The grille blends seamlessly into the front, adorned with the Tata logo and finished off by sharp, sculpted lines.
• The distinctive body lines and pronounced wheel arches are evident on the side profile.
• The rising beltline and coupe-inspired roofline contribute to the sporty silhouette.
• Large, aero-efficient 16-inch alloy wheels fill out the arches with subtle cladding along the lower sills and wheel wells.
• The rear of the Nexon showcases Tata’s signature 'X' motif, which is synonymous with the model.
• The sleek LED tail lamps have daytime lighting and sequential "Welcome & Goodbye" lighting sequences.
• The roof flows smoothly into an integrated spoiler, and the tailgate features crisp character lines.

• The Nexon offers over 30 discrete storage spaces within the cabin, deep door bins with umbrella holders, a cooled and illuminated glove box spacious enough for a tablet, a storage drawer under the front passenger’s seat, and a cleverly concealed central armrest box.
