A camouflaged test mule of the Tata Nexon SUV has recently been spotted under rather unusual circumstances — being transported on a truck loaded with onions. The images, captured on the highway, have gone viral on social media, sparking a flurry of humorous comments and memes from netizens. Spy shots were captured by automotive enthusiast Karan Dogra, near Dhule.
The Viral Incident
Unlike the typical sight of test vehicles being driven on public roads, this Nexon test mule was spotted tightly secured on the back of a truck. The truck itself was loaded with red onion sacks, adding an unexpected twist to the usually serious process of vehicle testing. Wrapped in Tata Motors’ signature camouflage pattern, the test mule seemed ready for evaluation, but its mode of transport caught everyone’s attention.
Netizens Bring the Humor
Social media users were quick to respond to the viral images, leaving no stone unturned in their quest for comic gold. Some of the standout reactions include:
“Nexon Do Pyaaza edition incoming!” quipped one user, drawing comparisons to a popular Indian dish.
“The truck driver is running a side hustle while on a side hustle,” another remarked, suggesting the truck was multitasking by transporting both the car and the onions.
Speculations Galore: Is This the Nexon Racer or TGDi Edition?
Beyond the humor, enthusiasts are speculating about the model being tested. Many believe Tata Motors might be preparing to launch the Nexon Racer edition, following the trend set by the Altroz Racer. The Racer edition could feature sporty aesthetics, premium interiors, and a more powerful engine 1.2 liter TGDi from Curvv.
It is likely that this could be the Nexon equipped with the 1.2-liter TGDi Hyperion engine, first introduced with the Tata Curvv. This engine produces 125 hp and 225 Nm of torque, offering a substantial boost over the standard variants. Such an upgrade would position the Nexon as a performance-oriented SUV, appealing to a wider audience.
A Viral Moment for Tata Motors
While the unusual sight of a test mule on an onion truck might not be the ideal scenario, it has certainly generated significant buzz for Tata Motors. The viral images have inadvertently created excitement and anticipation around the next update of the Nexon.
The internet’s response showcases India’s unique humor and creativity, turning a simple logistical event into a viral sensation. Whether it’s the Racer edition, a TGDi-powered variant, or something entirely new, Tata Motors has an audience eagerly waiting for what’s next. Until then, we’ll let the onions do the talking!
