Tata Motors has upped the prices for the Nexon compact SUV, with both petrol and diesel models getting costlier by a maximum of Rs 13,000 and Rs 15,000, respectively.
This, of course, is part of the price hike that Tata Motors announced at the beginning of the year. But notably, this is the second time Nexon prices have gone up in two months, with the previous one having come only in November 2021. Tata Motors claims rising input, operational and commodity costs to be the reason behind the price hike.
- Nexon petrol costs up to Rs 13,000 more; diesel variant by up to Rs 15,000
- The diesel line-up also sees the introduction of a new XMA (S) trim
