The new XZ variant of the Tata Nexon will sit below the XZ+ trim and is going to be more affordable. It will still continue to have features like projector headlamps and the 6.5-inch touchscreen multimedia system.
In order to expand the current variant range of the Nexon, Tata Motors will soon introduce a new trim for this compact SUV. According to the report published in Autocar India, the Tata Nexon will get a new XZ variant. This new variant will sit below the current top-spec XZ+ trim. Apart from the standard changes that exist between two variants, the XZ will remain identical to the rest of the trim levels.
The XZ variant will essentially be the next-to-top trim level. Hence it is going to miss out on several features that the current XZ+ trim comes with. These include the dual-tone roof, LED daytime running lights, front and rear fog lamps and the alloy wheels on the outside. The cabin will exclude the front and rear centre armrests, 60:40 split-folding rear seats, rear defogger and push-button start-stop.
