The Tata Nexon subcompact SUV will now come with Apple CarPlay in all new models starting from August 2018. A company spokesperson has told us that the smartphone connectivity software will be officially rolled out for Nexon by mid-August; however, existing owners and customers who buy it before the launch can get it with a software update at the dealership level. In fact, the Tata Nexon's official brochure on the company's website already has the Apple CarPlay listed, and it will be offered with the XZ, XZ+ and XZA+ variants.
The Tata Nexon was launched in India in September last year, and the subcompact SUV has been bringing in some great numbers for the home-grown automaker. In fact, right now it's the second-highest selling model in the company's line-up, right behind the Tiago hatchback, selling an average of 4,500 units a month. The company launched the automated manual transmission (AMT) version of the SUV in May 2018, with the top-end ZXA+ trim, and just last month added it to the mid-spec XM variant. The carmaker recently also confirmed that the petrol and diesel engine options have a 50:50 sales ratio.
