The Nexon SUV test mule seen in the spy images featured a heavy dose of camouflage and also did not sport the details seen on earlier test mules including the production-spec headlights and tail lights.

The production-spec Tata Nexon is expected to offer two engine options including a turbocharged version of Tata's 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine found on the Tata Tiago hatchback.

The other engine on offer will be a brand new 1.5-litre diesel powerplant. Both engines will be offered with both manual and AMT gearboxes.

The all-new Nexon is expected to retain most of the 2016 Auto Expo production-ready vehicle's design cues including the angular headlamps, contrasting colour for the body and the roof. The roof-line which swoops down onto the rear end of the car looks to have been retained as well.
