Coming to the powertrains, Tata has retained the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel mills from the outgoing Nexon though there are some changes to the gearbox line-up. The 1.2-litre turbo-petrol is offered with a 5-speed manual in the base variant while other variants are offered with a 6-speed manual. The 6-speed AMT too continues to be offered, though, buyers now also get the option of a new 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The 1.5-litre diesel continues to be offered with a 6-speed manual or AMT unit.
The Nexon facelift continues to go up against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300, Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger.
