The base variant of the Nexon will feature silver steel wheels, conventional headlamps and lesser chrome embellishers than the top-end grade. It could also lose features like roof rails, fog lamps, rear wiper, rear windshield defogger and the option of a dual tone exterior paint job, and serve as a walk-in bait with an attractive starting price.
The Nexon is 3,995 mm long and has a ground clearance of 200 mm. The engine lineup will include a new 1.5-liter four-cylinder diesel engine producing 110 PS and 260 Nm of torque and, reportedly, the turbocharged version of the Tiago’s 1.2-liter three-cylinder Revotron petrol unit with 120 PS.
