Tata Motors is all set to launch the Tata Nexon, tomorrow in India. Earlier last week, the company officially opened bookings for the Nexon sub-compact SUV in India at an amount of INR 11,000. The Tata Nexon is based on the X1 platform, which also underpinned the Tata Indica hatchback and Manza sedan. Developed under the HorizonNext product strategy, the Nexon is designed under Tata Motors’ IMPACT design philosophy. The new sub-compact SUV will mark the company’s entry into the compact SUV, which also consists of cars like Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport among others. If you are confused about the new compact SUV, here is our initial report of the Tata Nexon First Drive Review, which we recently reviewed at the first drive event in Kochin.

Tata Nexon Design – Price, Mileage & Competition: Interestingly, the Nexon is the first sub-compact SUV to get drive modes. As far as fuel economy is concerned, Tata Motors has not revealed the official figures, but we expect the SUV to deliver a mileage of around 18 kmpl for the petrol variant while the diesel variant might return a fuel efficiency of close to 23 kmpl. The Tata Nexon is expected to be priced in the range of INR 6.5 lakh to INR 11 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The Tata Nexon sub-compact SUV will compete against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport, Mahindra NuvoSport and the Mahindra TUV300.
