Tata’s contender in the booming compact SUV segment, the Nexon has drawn large footfalls into its dealerships. Launched on September 21, 2017, the Nexon has already managed to register a good number of bookings and the waiting period for this stylish compact SUV is on the rise. We spoke to a few dealers across the country for a better idea.

As seen with most new launches, the top-spec trim of the Nexon is the one that’s most in demand. The Nexon XZ+ comes loaded with all the bells and whistles like LED daytime running lamps, a 6.5-inch touchscreen and alloy wheels. This variant commands a waiting period of around eight weeks at most locations. Some dealerships, however, are trying their best to ensure customers get their cars by Diwali.

The top-spec variant gets the option of a dual-tone paint shade. Both the Moroccan Blue and the Vermont Red are the hot picks at most dealerships. Among the single-tone shade options, it's the silver and the grey that are in demand.

After the top-spec XZ+ trim, it's the XT and the lower XM trim that are popular.  As reported by us earlier, the XM gets a decent equipment list that includes a Harman-developed sound system, steering-mounted controls and rear parking sensors. The Nexon XT gets a cooled glovebox, automatic climate control and rear AC vents.

Tata has launched the Nexon with two engine options mated to manual transmission only. The carmaker is currently testing an AMT-equipped variant that is expected to go on sale in the coming months.
