Tata Nexon All (Automatic & Manual) Variants Explained

It is the Tata Nexon with which Tata Motors bounced back in the Indian market, which now consistently ranks in one of the top-three positions in terms of sales volumes. With the Nexon, Tata Motors opened a new chapter by offering customers world-class safety levels, with the 5-star rating in Global NCAP crash tests being the prime example of it.

The Tata Nexon is available in an extremely long list of variants, and choosing one out of them can confusing for some. Here, we have listed down all the variants in which the Tata Nexon is available in India, with their features and other details listed down too.

Variants and Prices

The overall lineup of petrol-powered Tata Nexon has an extensive number of variants, including XE, XM, XM (S), XZ, XZ+, XZ+ (S) and XZ+ (O). All the variants of petrol Nexon, except XE, are also available with an optional AMT gearbox. As far as diesel-powered Nexon is concerned, the lineup misses out on XE and XZ variants for the manual version and XZ+ (S) for the automatic version.

In addition to these, the XZ+, XZ+ (S) and XZ+ (O) variants of both manual and automatic versions are offered with dual-tone paint schemes. Also, the XZ+ and XZ+ (O) are offered with an all-black paint scheme in and out, called “Dark Edition”.

Lastly, Tata has also introduced “Kaziranga Special Edition”, which is based on the range-topping XZ+ P variant and gets an exclusive Grassland Beige paint scheme and a different dual-tone upholstery with faux wood inserts on the inside.
