Width	1811.4 mm
Height	1607.4 mm
Wheelbase	2498 mm

 

The lovely looking 17" alloy wheels enhance the stance of the Nexon even further and the roof rails don't look out of place. The cabin too has been worked on to enhance the experience of the occupants. The use of premium materials and surface texture gives an upmarket feel to the car. Adding convenience to its occupants are the bottle and cup holders, multiple utility spaces, handbag hangers, laptop & iPad trays thus showing that Tata Motors is in with the age. There's also automatic climate control with rear AC vents

 

On the safety front, the Tata Nexon is equipped with front dual airbags, ABS with EBD with Corner Stability Control. There's also the ISOFIX at the rear outboard and a rear-view camera interface with an inbuilt touchscreen infotainment system.

As far as engines are concerned, the Nexon will receive a 1.5 litre Revotorq diesel engine. Now, none of the cars on sale in India come with this engine and Nexon will be the first and so we expect it to be both powerful and fuel efficient. There's a 6-speed manual transmission on offer and according the the folks at Tata Motors, the NVH level on the car has been worked on for a 'class-leading' experience. There's no word of a petrol engine on the car yet.

There are a whole bunch of features on the Nexon provided by Tata Motors and these include an advanced infotainment system, featuring a dash-top touchscreen exclusively designed by Harman, a comprehensive speaker system for surround sound effect and intelligent features such as voice command recognition. It also comes with next-gen connectivity with a host of smartphone applications.

As far as the price of the car is concerned, the Nexon will probably undercut its rivals; a strategy that paid dividends with the Tiago and hence we expect it to start just below Rs 7 lakh and go right up to Rs 9 lakh. 

Nexon will make its debut in India for Diwali 2017
