Tata Nexon Price Cut: Complete Breakdown of Rs 1.55 Lakh Reduction
In a significant move that's sending ripples through the compact SUV market, Tata Motors has slashed prices across all 42 variants of the Nexon. Based on my analysis of the official price revisions, the reductions range from Rs 25,000 to a substantial Rs 1.55 lakh depending on the variant. This price adjustment comes shortly after the launch of the facelifted Nexon, suggesting Tata Motors is aggressively positioning its popular SUV against fierce competition from Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, and other compact SUVs.
Having followed the compact SUV market closely, I can tell you this is one of the most substantial price corrections we've seen in recent times. The move is particularly interesting considering the Nexon has consistently been among India's top-selling SUVs. According to industry reports, this strategic price reduction appears aimed at maintaining the Nexon's strong market position while potentially increasing its market share in the highly competitive sub-4m SUV segment.
New Tata Nexon Variant Structure Explained
The facelifted Nexon follows a completely revised variant structure compared to the previous model. Tata has moved away from the conventional XE, XM, XZ naming convention to a more lifestyle-oriented nomenclature. Let me break down the new lineup for better clarity:
- Smart: Entry-level variants
- Smart+: Enhanced entry-level with additional features
- Pure: Mid-range variants with balanced feature set
- Pure S: Mid-range variants with sunroof
- Creative: Premium variants with advanced features
- Creative+: Premium variants with additional luxury features
- Fearless: Top-end variants with all bells and whistles
- Fearless+: Flagship variants with the full feature package
Each of these trims is available with various powertrain options including petrol manual, petrol AMT, petrol DCT, diesel manual, and diesel AMT configurations, resulting in the comprehensive 42-variant lineup.
