In the Indian automotive market, the “sunroof” has evolved from a luxury novelty to a mandatory checklist item for most buyers. Recognizing this shift, Tata Motors has introduced the Nexon Pure+ PS trim, starting at ₹9.59 lakh (ex-showroom). By doing so, they haven’t just added a new variant; they have made the premium “panoramic” experience nearly ₹1.73 lakh more affordable than it was just a month ago.
1. The Headliner: India’s Most Affordable Panoramic Sunroof
Until now, the panoramic sunroof on the Nexon was reserved for higher-spec trims like the Creative+ PS, which typically commanded a price tag well above ₹11 lakh. The new Pure+ PS (positioned between the Pure+ S and Creative trims) democratizes this feature.
- Voice Assistance: The sunroof isn’t just large; it’s smart. Drivers can operate it via voice commands in multiple languages, ensuring they keep their hands on the wheel while letting the light in.
- Segment First: This launch makes the Nexon the only car in the sub-₹10 lakh segment to offer a panoramic view, putting immense pressure on rivals like the Maruti Brezza and Hyundai Venue, which currently offer standard single-pane sunroofs.
2. A Feature-Loaded Cabin
Despite its aggressive pricing, Tata hasn’t stripped the Pure+ PS of its modern comforts. The trim is designed to feel “premium-lite,” borrowing heavily from the mid-to-high variants.
- Infotainment: It features a crisp 10.25-inch Harman touchscreen infotainment system, now supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
- Audio & Convenience: A 6-speaker audio setup provides an immersive experience, while the addition of cruise control makes it a more viable highway companion than the base trims.
- All-Weather Tech: Auto-LED headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and an HD rear-view camera with dynamic guidelines are all part of the package.
3. Power of Choice: Multiple Powertrains
The Pure+ PS variant continues Tata’s “multi-powertrain” philosophy, ensuring there is a version for every type of driver.
| Powertrain | Transmission | Ex-Showroom Price |
| Turbo-Petrol | 6-Speed Manual | ₹9.59 Lakh |
| Turbo-Petrol | 6-Speed AMT | ₹10.14 Lakh |
| Twin Cylinder iCNG | 6-Speed Manual | ₹10.39 Lakh |
| Turbo-Diesel | 6-Speed Manual | ₹10.54 Lakh |
| Turbo-Diesel | 6-Speed AMT | ₹11.19 Lakh |
Whether you prioritize the torque of the 1.5L diesel or the low running costs of the industry-leading twin-cylinder CNG technology, the panoramic sunroof is now an accessible reality.
The Verdict: A Value Masterstroke
With the Nexon recently crossing the 1 million sales milestone, Tata Motors is clearly not resting on its laurels. The Pure+ PS trim is a masterstroke in value positioning. It targets the aspirational middle-class buyer who wants “big-car features” on a compact SUV budget.
