Tata is upgrading the Nexon with new alloy wheels. The brand has silently launched the new SUV with an improved alloy wheel design in the Indian market. According to a media report, the new SUVs with the new alloy wheel design have also reached dealerships.
The current alloy wheels on the Tata Nexon comes with a U-shaped 8-spoke dual-tone machine finish. The new wheels come with a simpler 5-spoke design but similar dual-tone colour and machine cut finish. As to why the brand has changed the alloy wheel design is not clear yet. But this could be part of the new update that Tata has also given to the Nexon interior and the tri-arrow on the grille in the recent past.
In the recent past, we reported that Tata had deleted a few features from the Nexon facelift. The brand has deleted a row of buttons below the infotainment system, replacing the fascia with a stylised ‘Nexon’ logo. The buttons removed from the system includes Home, Favourites, Previous/Next, Smartphone and the Back button. The hotkeys were useful for infotainment operations while driving. But the removal of the controls makes the dashboard cleaner and minimalist than before. The row of hotkeys also came with two rotary dials, one for volume and another to tune the radio channel.
Apart from this, it appears that there are no other changes to the Tata Nexon. Powering the Tata Nexon is a BS6 compliant 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine. This turbo-petrol engine produces 120 PS of power and 170 Nm of torque. Tata does not disappoint diesel enthusiasts as the SUV also come with a BS6 compliant 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine. The diesel engine produces 110 PS of power and 260 Nm of torque. Both the petrol and diesel powertrains come with a 6-speed manual as well as a 6-speed AMT automatic transmission.
