With this rollout, Tata Motors aims to scale up its position to the third or fourth spot in the utility vehicle segment. Nexon is the first sub-4 metre sports utility vehicle from Tata Motors stable and and is expected to give a tough competition to the likes of Maruti’s Vitara Brezza and Ford’s EcoSport.
