Tata Nexon Diesel DCT variant listed on official website

Nexon Diesel DCT will be more expensive than the existing 6-speed AMT variants.

Tata Motors recently announced that the new Curvv SUV Coupe will be the first mass-market SUV to be offered with a Diesel-DCT combination. However, it seems, the company will offer the same engine and transmission option on the Nexon as well.

The Nexon Diesel DCT has already been listed on Tata Motors’ official website under the booking section. Currently, only the 'Fearless +S' variant gets the Diesel and 7-speed DCA combination, but more variants could be offered at launch.

The Nexon is available with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine that produces 118 BHP and 170 Nm and a 1.5-litre diesel that puts out 113 BHP and 260 Nm. While the petrol engine is offered with a 5-speed manual, 6-speed AMT and a 7-speed DCT, the diesel is mated to a 6-speed manual and 6-speed AMT.

The Nexon Diesel DCT variants will most likely be more expensive than the existing 6-speed AMT versions. Whether Tata continues to offer the 6-speed AMT though remains to be seen.
