The Tata Nexon AMT will get a 5-speed manual transmission. This automatic gearbox will be offered on the mid-spec XTA and XZA variants only.
Tata Motors is all set to launch the automatic variant of its compact SUV Nexon in India. The automated version will get an AMT (automated manual transmission) gearbox. We saw the first glimpse of the Tata Nexon AMT at the 2018 Auto Expo. Expect the automaker to launch the Nexon automatic within the next couple of months. With the launch of the automatic variant, the Nexon will be a step ahead of its competitors, namely the Honda WR-V and the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. The Ford EcoSport already has an automatic gearbox in its portfolio. Interested to know more about the Nexon AMT? Read along!
