In recent months, the Tata Nexon has claimed the top spot in India’s sub-compact SUV market. Tata Motors provides a variety of options for the Nexon, including different powertrains and transmissions. This wide range makes it an attractive choice for many buyers.
One major reason for the Nexon’s success is the extensive features it offers. Previously, the Nexon came with only a single-pane electric sunroof on higher trims. Now, Tata Motors has added a panoramic sunroof to select variants of the internal combustion engine (ICE) Nexon. This makes it the second sub-compact SUV in this segment to feature a panoramic sunroof, following the Mahindra XUV 3XO.
The panoramic sunroof is available exclusively in the top-tier Fearless+ trim, starting at Rs 13.60 lakh (ex-showroom) for the petrol manual variant. It is also offered in the petrol automatic, diesel manual, and diesel automatic versions of the Fearless+ trim. This variant also includes additional features like voice assistance for the sunroof and an 8-speaker JBL audio system. Compared to the next best dual-tone Fearless+ trim, this version costs Rs 1.30 lakh more.
Interestingly, Tata Motors first introduced the panoramic sunroof in the Nexon iCNG, launched last month. In the Nexon iCNG, the panoramic sunroof is available starting from the Creative+ trim, priced at Rs 12.80 lakh (ex-showroom). It is currently the only CNG vehicle in India offering a panoramic sunroof.
The Nexon ICE is powered by two engine options: a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The petrol engine produces 118 bhp and 170 Nm of peak torque, while the diesel engine generates 114 bhp and 260 Nm of peak torque. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed AMT, and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. The CNG variant of the Nexon is equipped with the 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, delivering 100 bhp and 170 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
