Tata's upcoming SUV named Nexon that is due for launch in India by end of next year or by the beginning of 2017. A recent report by Motor Octane has suggested that the vehicle could be packed with a 1.5 litre petrol engine under its hood. This motor is tuned to generate 110Bhp of maximum power that will be transmitted to the wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. It's a sub-4m vehicle based on the same platform that is utilised by Bolt and the concept has already been displayed in public. The design inputs have been derived from JLR's research centre.
Tata Nexon features a 5-seat configuration and offers a ground clearance of 200mm. It will be unveiled at the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo and will rival the likes of Ford EcoSport and Mahindra TUV300. However, another rival Maruti Vitara Brezza codenamed YBA is all set to enter India prior to the Nexon by early 2016. Based on the observations of the concept, it is likley to sport various eye modern fitments like stylish wheel arches, 17-inch alloys, signature grille and LED headlights.
