It’s based on the top-spec XZ+(O) variant but is more affordable

Tata launched the facelifted Nexon with BS6 engines in January 2020. Now, the carmaker has introduced the XZ+(S) variant to the lineup. It is based on the top-spec XZ+(O) variant and priced as follows:

	XZ+(S)	XZ+(O)	Difference
Petrol-MT	Rs 10.10 lakh	Rs 10.40 lakh	Rs 30,000
Petrol-MT Dual Tone	Rs 10.30 lakh	Rs 10.60 lakh	Rs 30,000
Petrol-AMT	Rs 10.70 lakh	Rs 11 lakh	Rs 30,000
Petrol-AMT Dual Tone	Rs 10.90 lakh	Rs 11.20 lakh	Rs 30,000
Diesel-MT	Rs 11.60 lakh	Rs 11.90 lakh	Rs 30,000
Diesel-MT Dual Tone	Rs 11.80 lakh	Rs 12.10 lakh	Rs 30,000
Diesel AMT	Rs 12.20 lakh	Rs 12.50 lakh	Rs 30,000
Diesel AMT Dual Tone	Rs 12.40 lakh	Rs 12.70 lakh	Rs 30,000

The new XZ+(S) variant is offered in the same iterations as the XZ+(O), which includes the dual-tone options and automatic options for both petrol and diesel engines. It is affordable by Rs 30,000 than every equivalent version of the XZ+(O) variant.

The new Nexon XZ+(S) gets all the features that are offered in the XZ+(O) variant apart from Tata’s iRA connected car technology. That means it doesn’t get live vehicle diagnostics, remote vehicle controls via a smartphone app, trip analytics, live location, geo-fencing, and valet mode. It does get other premium features such as a sunroof, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone compatibility, cruise control, and rain-sensing wipers.

This variant of the Nexon makes more sense for those who do not wish to use connected car technology services, but would still like to enjoy all the comforts the car has to offer, especially the sunroof. This seems to be in line with Tata’s new approach of allowing customers to have a car that meets their specific needs, as seen with the factory-fitted customisation options offered with the new Altroz. The Tata Nexon continues to rival the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport, and Mahindra XUV300.
