Tata X104 CUV (Nexon) Diesel Spied Testing

Tata Nexon X104 CUV-2

Tata X104 CUV has been spied testing on the Pune-Goa highway equipped with a diesel engine, which is most likely a brand new 1.5 diesel unit.

A few weeks back, the Nexon was spotted once again as the road testing has begun and spyshots galore will be filled to the brim. We caught up with the Nexon compact SUV on the Pune highway that was equipped with a diesel engine.

Tata is betting big on all its car that are coming soon under the HORIZONNEXT plan. After Zest, Bolt and Zica it is the Nexon which is going turn up the heat because it is going to be an compact SUV, which is flavor of the decade now and will have petrol, diesels and automatic gearbox options.

The Nexon spotted here is awkward with roof design at first. However, closer looks reveals it could have a roof cargo box as a permanent thing. The box, that too, is mounted in a position, which isn’t its usual place. The box mounted is on top of the tailgate and not the roof. Front of the car has the Safari like look which makes it look a proper true blue SUV.

Side profile is properly high stanced one and does look like a compact SUV, which is going to be sub four meter one. Tata has camoflauged car so thoroughly that it has stuck tail-lamps and head-lamps from the last century to make sure the original one’s are not caught with spy lenses. They could be the real one’s too, without the cowl, you never know it’s too early to comment which has just begun testing a few weeks back and is going to last a year atleast.

The diesel engine was confirmed under the hood after it was caught emitting black smoke multiple times while accelerating and on a steep hill. Petrol engine is also mostly likely to debut on the car which is the 1.2 3-cylinder we saw with the Zica with most likely more power and torque.

Diesel is said to be a brand 1.5 diesel engine which could be a 3 or 4 cylinder engine. Interiors were mostly inspired like the Zica and Nexon is going to be a brand new product from the scratch and compete with a lot of competition.
