Tata Nexon (facelift) to start from Rs. 7.4 lakh
What's the story
Tata Motors may have inadvertently revealed the starting price of its Nexon (facelift) ahead of the September 14 launch event. According to a comment by Tata Nexon official account on Instagram, the ex-showroom price of the new Nexon will start from Rs. 7.39 lakh. If true, this could disrupt the sub-4m SUV segment, as the Nexon is already a best-seller and this leaked price is lower than its rivals.

Rivals to face heat from Nexon's aggressive pricing
The leaked price of Rs. 7.39 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Tata Nexon (facelift) could spell trouble for other sub-4m SUVs. For context, Maruti Suzuki Brezza base price starts from Rs. 8.29 lakh, Hyundai Venue's from Rs. 7.77 lakh, Kia Sonet's from Rs. 7.79 lakh, and Mahindra XUV300's from Rs. 7.99 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). If accurate, this aggressive pricing strategy could further solidify Nexon's position in the market.
