Tata Motors has confirmed that the Nexon will get an AMT (automated manual transmission) “within this financial year”. The Nexon is Tata’s first crack at the sub-4 meter compact SUV space and rivals the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, the Ford EcoSport and other hatchback-derived crossovers. The Nexon is slated for launch in the upcoming festive season with a petrol and a diesel powerplant on offer from day one.
