Tata Motors Teases New Nexon Variant; Launch On September 2

Tata Motors has recently put out a new teaser on social media for a new variant of the Nexon subcompact SUV, and it is slated to be unveiled tomorrow, on September 2. We did reach out to the company, but there's no confirmation on what the new variant is, however, our sources tell us that it will be the new XM (S) variant. Given the fact that the (S) prefix is used for variants of the Nexon that get a sunroof, this indicates that the mid-spec XM trim is getting an optional variant with sunroof. Currently, only the XZ+ (S) and the XZA+ (S) variants get this feature.

Rumour has it that the Nexon could be getting a new DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) automatic variant. While the company is said to be working on a DCT unit, we now believe that there is still some time before Tata is ready to launch it. Currently, the Nexon comes with an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), but given the fact that rivals like the Hyundai Venue and the upcoming Kia Sonet have already introduced advanced transmission options like iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) in addition to a DCT automatic, there's pressure building on Tata for sure.

The older teaser revealed a new orange shade, so there could also be a new exterior colour option, and the fact that the image has a sunset in the backdrop, one might speculate that the new colour could be called Sunset Orange. In addition to the sunroof, Tata might also bring in a few extra features, but we will have to wait until the official debut to know more.

The 2020 Tata Nexon currently comes with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel motor with a 6-speed manual and an optional AMT unit

If at all Tata launches a DCT automatic variant at some point, then the new transmission will come mated to the Nexon's 118 bhp, 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, and it will be a replacement for the AMT option. The diesel version, on the other hand, which comes with a 108 bhp, 1.5-litre oil burner, is likely to continue to come with the AMT unit, in addition to the 6-speed manual gearbox.
