Tata Nexon XE trim misses out on features like projector headlamps, LED DRLs, fog lamps, alloy wheels and dual-tone paint
Tata Nexon is going to be the next big model from the homegrown auto major. Expected to start selling from late September, this compact SUV brings freshness to the automaker’s portfolio and it will lock horns with tough rivals like Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport. Not only a fresh styling, it also boasts interesting upmarket features and efficient powertrain as well.
Now, before the automaker starts selling Nexon, the base trim (XE) of the model has been spotted at a dealership giving us a clear view of the car and also revealing the features it misses out compared to the higher trims. This particular Nexon wears a Blue paint scheme that is darker than Tiago’s Stryker Blue theme. As it appears, the Tata Nexon XE doesn’t get projector headlamps, integrated LED daytime running lights and front fog lamps.
