![]() ![]() The side profile is what will really set the Nexon apart – in an almost signature way. Instead, what you do get, especially on the XZ+ variant, are satin while plastic inserts that are tactfully placed around the car. Thankfully, Tata has done the smart thing and not given the Nexon a lot of that tacky chrome apart from a slim accent piece underneath the grille. The grille, painted in gloss black, harks back to the likes of the Safari Storme with its bold and in-your-face design. The headlights for example still swoop in a very distinctively Tata way and they come with LED daytime running lights and projectors. There are still hints (strong and subtle) of Tata Motors design language that carries over from other cars like the Tiago and the Bolt. Striking! Especially in these bright shades or red or blue – that is the first thing that comes to mind when you first set your eyes on the new Nexon. And the last time that happened was when Jaguar launched the F-Pace! So read on to know more about the brand new 2017 Tata Nexon! While most of us expected the production SUV to be watered down version of the concept, the Indian automaker has surprised us by launching the Tata Nexon subcompact SUV that is very close to the concept’s original look and design. ![]() ![]() Tata Motors first showcased a concept compact SUV called the Nexon at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo and an almost production ready version of the Tata Nexon at the 2016 Indian Auto Expo. So it was only obvious that sooner or later, any automaker who wants to be a real volume player in the Indian market needs to have a model present in this segment. Mahindra has four SUVs in this segment too – the TUV 300, the Bolero Power+, the KUV 100 and the NuvoSport and even Hyundai and Datsun will soon launch brand new SUVs in this segment. Maruti Suzuki consistently sells over 10,000 units of the Vitara Brezza every month and the Ecosport single handedly helped recover Ford India’s lull a few years ago. The sub-4m SUV will also have a shorter wheelbase as compared to the Kushaq.The sub 4-metre subcompact SUV segment of which the new Tata Nexon is one of the most popular and most aspirational automotive segments in the country. This means that the styling could actually be different than the brand's other two SUV offerings available in the country (Kushaq and Kodiaq). On the design front, the Skoda sub-compact SUV is expected to be based on the company's upcoming new design language called ‘Modern Solid’, which is set to debut later this year. The sub-compact SUV will likely be the first product under the company's India 2.5 plan, and is expected to be exported to foreign markets as well. The new SUV will also be based on the heavily localised MQB A0 IN platform that has so far been used to develop four different cars under the Skoda Auto Volkswagen India group, namely Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Slavia, and the soon-to-be-launched Volkswagen Virtus. ![]() Upon arrival, the sub-4m SUV will become the most affordable Skoda SUV in the country. Thomas Schaefer, CEO, Skoda Auto has revealed the company's plans of introducing a new sub-compact SUV that will sit below the Kushaq in the company's Indian portfolio. After the success of Kushaq in the Indian market under the India 2.0 program, Skoda is now readying an even more affordable SUV for the country. ![]()
