Tata Motors has announced that it has replaced the Nexon’s mid-spec XT variant with the XT+. The new XT+ petrol and diesel variants are priced at Rs 8.02 lakh and Rs 8.87 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), respectively. Priced at a premium of Rs 7,000 over the XT variant, the Nexon XT+ gets a few additional features too.

The Nexon XT+ now features DRLs and fog lamps just like the top-spec XZ+ and XZA+ variants. Additionally, these features have also made its way to the XZ variant, which is a step above the XT+. However, the new XT+ variant still misses out on alloy wheels and a shark fin antenna which is present in higher variants.

On the inside, upgrades in the new variant include an 8-speaker sound system with USB/AUX/Bluetooth, height adjustable driver seat and rear AC vents. It still misses out on the ConnectNext touchscreen infotainment system by Harman Kardon with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity offered in the higher-end variants. Aside from that, Tata has increased the size of the touchscreen infotainment system from 6.5-inches to 7-inches on the XZ, XZ+ and XZA+ variants.

The Nexon XT+ remains unchanged mechanically. It is powered by a 1.2-litre Revotron turbo-petrol engine and a 1.5-litre Revotron diesel engine. The petrol unit puts out 110PSof power and 170Nm of torque, while the diesel motor churns out 110PS and 260Nm. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed manual. However, customers can also pick the AMT option with the Nexon’s XMA and XZA+ variants. 

The Nexon is currently priced between Rs 6.58 lakh to Rs 11.00 lakh (ex-showroom) and is offered in seven different variants. The sub-4m SUV currently rivals the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport, Mahindra XUV300 and the Hyundai Venue.
