Tata Nexon XZ was recently launched in India for INR 7.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). XZ comes as second most loaded trim in the popular Nexon lineup, carrying both petrol and diesel engine option. However, Nexon XZ diesel is priced higher at INR 8.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
This typical variant help buyers decide better when switching between different variants as price gap between XT and XZ+ variant earlier left an empty space for rival Ford EcoSport and Maruti Vitara Brezza to place a rivalling variant. As it is placed lower to XZ+, certain features will definitely be missed for cost cutting.
Features that buyers will miss from new XZ variant includes LED daytime running lights, fog lamps, number of speakers, machined alloy wheels and rear defogger. Instead, buyers will get dual tone alloy wheels and reduced number of speaker along with same touchscreen infotainment system.
This helps Tata offer another variant that’s INR 57,000 lesser in value than top variant but offers a lot in INR 68,000 over the existing XT trim. The dual tone roof option is still only listed on XZ+ variant. Nexon range starts from INR 5.99 lakh for petrol and INR 6.99 lakh for the diesel variant.
Tata Nexon is powered by a 1198cc, four cylinder petrol engine producing 110 PS at 5000 rpm and 170 Nm at 1750-4000 rpm. On the other hand, bigger 1.5L, four cylinder diesel engine on Nexon is good for 110 PS at 3750 rpm and 260 Nm at 1500-2750 rpm. Both engines are offered with 6-speed manual gearbox as standard.
It measures 3994 mm in length, 1811 mm in width and 1607 mm in height. Wheelbase measures 2498 mm, making it a spacious SUV under 4 meters of length. Buyers get 350 liters of luggage carrying capacity while ground clearance is pretty amazing at 209 mm.
