Tata Motors, a name synonymous with legacy and trust, has been the torchbearer of the Indian automotive industry. With the launch of Tata Nexon, the company has solidified its position in the compact SUV segment, a category that has been rapidly growing in popularity. A perfect blend of chic design, remarkable features, and a powerful engine, the Nexon is not just any other vehicle; it’s a statement.
1. Competitive Pricing and Specifications
The Tata Nexon has been priced judiciously to appeal to a wide audience. The base model starts at Rs. 8.10 Lakh, offering a compelling mix of features and performance, while the top-end variant is priced at Rs. 15.50 Lakh. Available in both manual and automatic transmission, it comfortably accommodates five passengers, making it an ideal choice for families.
2. The Refreshed Nexon
The facelifted Tata Nexon was introduced to the Indian market on 14 September. While it awaits its assessment by an NCAP body, the expectations are high given Tata’s commitment to safety and the previous accolades the Nexon has received.
3. Facing the Competition
2023’s Nexon doesn’t just stand alone; it faces tough competition from established names in the industry. These rivals include the Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger, Mahindra XUV300, and the Nissan Magnite. Yet, Nexon has its unique selling points that make it stand apart.
4. Areas of Improvement
No vehicle is without its cons. Some critics point out that the Nexon’s fit and finish in certain areas could be improved upon. Additionally, while its diesel engine is potent, it doesn’t match the refinement levels of some of its competitors.
5. The Nexon’s Highlights
Tata has left no stone unturned to make the Nexon a visual treat. The redesigned exterior is both striking and sharp, capturing attention instantly. Safety, a priority for Tata, is evident with six standard airbags and three-point seat belts for all seats. The expectation of a high safety rating is inevitable. Step inside, and you’re greeted with an all-black cabin, accentuated with revised styling elements and a plethora of features that enhance the driving and passenger experience.
6. Word from the Street
Anish shares his views, saying, “All good. Very good car, very punchy diesel engine, unique looking car, all features and I like its purple interior which looks like a customized design. Just loved it. Best of luck to all!” Hitesh is all praise, stating, “Amazing riding experience with safety parameters used & enhanced by Tata. We can imagine the Tata brand is a trustworthy name in the automotive sector.
Nexon is a game-changer, beating all brands in this range.” Lastly, Sushant Kumar Singh strongly recommends, “I believe it’s the best car in India in this price and segment. If you own another brand, I request you to switch to the latest Tata Nexon. I can’t fathom why people choose others like Creta or Swift. Switch to TATA and feel confident in your drive. Nexon outshines other brands.”
