The sub-4 metre compact SUV is one of the most significant cars for the company, as it contributed to the brand’s popularity in the Indian automotive market. The new 6 lakh production milestone further solidifies its current position in the market, making it a preferred option among Indian buyers.

Tata Motors retails the Nexon in both EV and ICE versions. It is the ICE trim that has individually bagged this new milestone.

The former churns out 118 bhp and 170 Nm of peak torque, while the latter produces 113 bhp and 260 Nm of torque. The 1.2-litre engine is offered with a five-speed manual, six-speed manual, six-speed AMT, and a seven-speed dual clutch DCT gearbox. The diesel engine, on the other hand, comes with a six-speed manual or a six-speed AMT.

The automaker also provides the EV trim of the Nexon, which is priced at INR 14.7 lakh and goes up to INR 19.94 lakh (ex-showroom). The Nexon EV is available in three variants: Empowered, Creative, and Fearless. It has two battery sets, and both have different e-motors. Tata Nexon.EV is powered by a 106.4 kW electric motor, which is paired with a 40.5 kWh battery, and the setup provides a combined output of 143 hp and 215 Nm of peak torque. The EV comes with a claimed range of 465 km on one charge.
