Tata Motors showcased their new range of turbo petrol engines at the 2023 Auto Expo.

Currently, the Nexon comes with a 120PS 1.2L 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine.

As a result, it produces more power and torque, which stand at 125PS and 225Nm, respectively.  A previous leak confirmed that the automatic variants of the new Nexon could feature andual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) instead of the less inferior automated manual transmission (AMT). Apart from the new turbo petrol engine, the new Nexon is also likely to continue with a 1.5L turbo diesel engine.

    I think this car will become literally unbeatable in its segment especially if it comes with the new 1.2 TGDI engine. The main drawback of Nexon has been it's engine performance till now. But how sure are you of this engine change?
