Tata Motors announced that it has kick started bookings for the Nexon AMT. We first saw the Nexon AMT at the Auto Expo 2018 and we knew back then that this was the production ready car. Tata Motors introduced the Nexon, which was the company's first subcompact SUV in India, in 2017 and since then it has reached a production milestone of 25,000 units just last month. This shows the growing popularity of the car, and now with an automatic variant on offer, Tata Motors has shown how keen it is to get a piece of the pie when it comes to the Auto Industry in India. The Nexon AMT adds a bit of pressure to carmakers like Ford, Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra who have cars in this segment. The company has started bookings cross all its authorized dealerships, in India, at an amount of Rs. 11,000.

Now, the Nexon AMT doesn't look any different to the standard car, but the AMT variant brings in a fresh outlook to the subcompact SUV. Tata says that the Nexon AMT is the first car in India to offer driving modes along with an AMT unit. Additionally, the Nexon AMT also gets a 'creep' function, which helps with the driving in heavy traffic, the stop-and-go kinds. Tata has also fitted the Nexon AMT with smart hill assist, which keeps the car from rolling back when it begins to move on a slope. Plus, there is an intelligent transmission controller which offers features such as anti-stall, kick-down and fast-off.
Tata will be looking to launch the car in May 2018, which is next month. And we know that Tata likes to price its cars aggressively. We expect the Nexon AMT to carry a pricing somewhere between Rs. 7 lakh to Rs. 10 lakh for the petrol and diesel options, considering the fact that Tata will offer the AMT option from mid-trim upwards.
