The Tata Nexon is a subcompact SUV that has been produced by the Indian automaker Tata Motors since 2017. The vehicle is based on the same platform as the Tata Tiago and Tigor. It was launched in India on 21 September 2017, and its sales began in October 2017. It is also sold in South Africa and Nepal. The car is available in both petrol and diesel variants.
The petrol variant of the Tata Nexon is powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged engine which produces 110 PS (81 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 170 N⋅m (125 lb⋅ft) of torque at 1,750–4,000 rpm. The diesel variant is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine which produces 110 PS (81 kW) at 3,750 rpm and 260 N⋅m (192 lb⋅ft) of torque at 1,500–2,750 rpm. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 6-speed automated manual transmission with drive modes: Eco, City and Sport.[1][2] The claimed fuel efficiency for the petrol manual version is 17 km/l while that for the diesel manual version is 22 km/l.[3]
Tata Motors offers extended warranty packages with the Nexon which can be purchased for up to 4 years or 60,000 km from the date of purchase.[4] With regards to maintenance costs, owners can expect to pay between Rs 3,500 - Rs 5,000 for scheduled servicing every 10,000 - 15,000 kms.[5] This amount will obviously differ depending on individual service centres as well as factors such as whether additional repairs or replacements are required outside of regular servicing intervals. Overall though, maintenance costs for the Tata Nexon should not be considered excessively high when compared to other vehicles in its class.
