Tata Motors is all set to launch its Vitara Brezza fighter, the Nexon compact SUV, later this month. So far, all the images of the Nexon have been of the top-spec XZ+ trim for both petrol and diesel models. Today, however, we've got our hands on three sets of images of the Nexon SUV – one set of the base XE trim, XM (White Nexon) and the third one likely to be of the XT trim.
Based on the images, here is a tentative list of what to expect from the Nexon XT, XM and the Nexon XE trims, as far as equipment goes.
Tata Nexon XT: What to expect?
- Body-coloured wing mirrors and door handles
- Steel wheels with Goodyear Assurance tyres
- Halogen headlamps
- Central multi-info display

- Rear seats with fixed headrests
- Rear AC vents

Tata Nexon XM: What to expect?

Tata Nexon: Additional details and expected pricing
The Nexon, at launch, will be available in at least four trims – XE, XM, XT and XZ+ – mated to either a 1.5-litre diesel or a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine. The sole transmission on offer at will be a six-speed manual, with Tata likely to add an AMT gearbox at a later stage. The Nexon is expected to be priced in the region of Rs 7-10 lakh, and this means it will take on the Maruti Vitara Brezza and the Ford EcoSport (that is also set to get a major facelift). It will also rival the likes of cross-hatches like the Honda WR-V, the Fiat Avventura and the Hyundai Elite i20.
