Tata Nexon Diesel Variants Rejigged; Four Of Them To Get Discontinued

Tata Nexon is undoubtedly a promising SUV from the Indian carmaker. It was first launched in 2017 with a motive to take on some well-established rivals such as Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport. But at that time, even after the segment was far less competitive, it was never the best seller.

The updated Nexon was introduced last year and since then, it has emerged well. If talking about this month (May 2021), around 6,439 units of Tata Nexon were sold making it the second best-seller after Kia Sonet that stands at 6,627 units in terms of sales. Recently, Tata Motors has announced to delete some of the diesel variants due to lack of demand. Want to know which variants will be discontinued? Check out the details down below.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Four diesel variants including XE, XMA, XZ and XZA+ will be discontinued.
• Tata Nexon is available with a 110HP, 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine.
• The carmaker will not be accepting bookings for these variants from now onwards.

Discontinued Variants

Apart from this, it continues to get Union Jack LED taillamps that enhance the overall look of the SUV. The side profile of the Nexon sports large 16-inch alloy wheels with body cladding and massive wheel arches.

Interior & Features

The cabin of the updated Nexon is well laid with a lot of practical elements. To begin with, a fully digital instrument cluster, floating touchscreen infotainment system, flat-bottom steering wheel, multiple drive mode knob, electric sunroof, dedicated ‘Xpress Cooling’ button and multiple storage spaces are a part of the offering.

Engine
