TATA is all set to launch its Compact SUV in 2016. The Nexon is expected to be showcased in the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo. Its concept was 1st showcased back in 2014 and looks to target the Ford Ecosport & Mahindra TUV 300 among others. This upcoming SUV may look a bit like the Evoque as it will take a few design cues to look aggressive with a premium look.
The choice of engines on the Tata Nexon will include a new 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol and a 1.3-litre Multijet diesel. Transmission options will comprise a 5-speed manual and the F-Tronic AMT on the diesel, if at all. TATA has also been working on a new 1.5-litre diesel engine, however it seems unlikely that it will be offered on the Tata Nexon.
