Tata Nexon

Tata Nexon Exterior

Initial impressions are really good. That coupe-like roofline is stunning, while the flowing lines and pumped-up wheel arches add to the character of the car. Up-front, the glossy front grille looks imposing with beautifully shaped Range Rover-inspired projector headlamps, which that also get DRLs. The flat bonnet is different from the car it replaces; so is the chunkier front bumper along with tri-star elements on the lower half of the bumper, while at the rear, the triangular-shaped clear-lens tail lamps are perfectly suited for the rear, with a huge silver accent running from one end to another. Thanks to 209mm of ground clearance, and those 16-inch alloy wheels, the Tata Nexon new model stands pretty tall. Tata's 'IMPACT' design philosophy sure seems convincing. 

Tata Nexon Variants

The Tata Nexon variants are as follows: XE, XM, XMA, XZ, XZ Plus, XZ Plus (O) and XZA Plus (O). Features include an 8-speaker system from Harman, voice-based warnings like a low-fuel warning, seatbelt reminder and parking brake release alert. There's also a wearable key for the wrist that gives you access to the ignition, a host of smartphone applications, smart-key and push-start button, steering-mounted audio controls, leatherette upholstery, sunroof, auto headlamps and wipers, 35 app-based connectivity features for vehicle security, remote commands and location-based services, automatic climate control, and a 6.5-inch floating touchscreen that comes with Android Auto. On the safety front, it comes equipped with reverse parking assist, traction control, ESP, ABS with EBD, dual front airbags and ISOFIX child-seat mounts. 

Tata Nexon Interior

The cabin has been refreshed for 2020, and the levels of fit-and-finish are top-notch. The dull-white and black combination looks very attractive, and the shape of the dashboard looks modernistic. You'll also notice the fully-digital instrument cluster, which has been borrowed from the Tiago and Tigor. The steering looks sportier than before and there's also a rotary gear selector. Loads of room is available on the inside - enough to keep occupants pampered. The front seats offer good thigh support, while you can also stretch your limbs a fair bit, as the footwell seems nice and large. You will also notice three driving modes: Eco, City and Sport. Also, the Tata Nexon comes with a 350-litre boot capacity, and thanks to the 60:40 ratio split rear seats, the luggage space increases to 690- litres with the seats folded. 

Tata Nexon Engine Specifications & Performance

The Tata Nexon is powered by two engine options: a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Revotron turbo petrol motor that makes 108bhp of power and 170Nm of torque, and a 1.5-litre, turbo diesel engine that produces 108bhp and 260Nm of torque. Both engines are paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox, and there is also an option of an AMT automatic gearbox. Both the engines are now BS-VI compliant too. While the petrol engine is refined and feels best driven in the mid-range, it's the diesel motor that's more fun-inducing. There's linear power delivery with no turbo lag, which is really impressive. Put it in 'Sport' mode, and it's the latter that becomes more engaging to drive. Ride quality is really plush, meaning they've got the suspension setup spot-on. There is hardly any body roll around corners, and the Nexon seemed planted at high speeds too. Given the Tata Nexon on-road price, it makes for pretty good value. 

Tata Nexon Mileage

The Tata Nexon's ARAI-certified fuel efficiency figures are rated at 17.88kmpl for the petrol variant and a staggering 23.97kmpl for the diesel model.
