Tata Nexon mid variant gets AMT feature at Rs 7.50 lakh onward

To further penetrate into the automatic-drive market, Tata Motors has announced the launch of the Tata Nexon HyprDrive Self-Shift Gears (S-SG) - XMA, sporting the AMT gearbox in its best-selling XM variant. With this introduction, the Nexon range will henceforth have two AMT variants – XMA & XZA+ which will be offered in 1.2L turbocharged Revotron petrol and 1.5L turbocharged Revotorq diesel engines respectively.

Priced at Rs 7.50 lakh for the petrol variant and at Rs 8.53 lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi, for the Diesel variant, the Tata Nexon XMA will be first AMT in India to offer Multi-Drive modes (3 modes – Eco, City and Sport).

An all-new “Ivory White” roof-color option has been introduced with this launch to further accentuate the coupe-inspired design of the Tata Nexon. Sporting the best-in-class ground clearance of 209 mm, the car is extensively loaded with features like the intelligent transmission controller, which includes features such as anti-stall, kick-down and fast-off; helping optimise the automatic gearshifts to provide best power output during overtaking maneuvers or quick acceleration requirements. This combined with 108.5 bhp output from turbocharged motors results in a sporty drive experience.

In addition to providing a clutch-free drive experience, the car comes with features like Smart Hill Assist and Crawl function. While the Smart Hill Assist prevents the Nexon from rolling-back on uphill drives during bumper-to-bumper traffic, the Crawl function comes into play during slow moving traffic by helping the car move ahead without pressing the accelerator.
