Tata Nexon

The Tata Nexon is the first and only compact-SUV offering from the Indian car company. At the front of the Tata Nexon, the wide grille and quirky-looking headlamps form the majority of the aesthetics. The compact dimensions also make it an ideal choice for urban driving conditions.

At the side, the Tata Nexon gets five-spoke 16-inch wheels. The compact-SUV rides quite high up from the ground. The beltline or `humanity line` adds a unique character to the Tata Nexon`s overall design.

Coming to the rear, the Tata Nexon has an `X-themed` design. Compared to the front profile, the Tata Nexon`s rear showcases a like-it-or-hate-it design language, but certainly looks funky.

The interiors of the Tata Nexon feature a dual-tone dashboard which houses a lot of features. There is a neat mix of hard plastics, silver panels and beige.

The Tata Nexon comes in both petrol and diesel formats. The 1.2-litre turbocharged Revotron petrol engine makes 108bhp and 170Nm while the 1.5-litre Revotorq diesel unit produces 108bhp and 260Nm of torque.

The engines come mated to either a six-speed manual or its respective AMT. The Tata Nexon delivers decent performance figures as the chassis is well-engineered to meet Indian driving conditions. The AMT variant gets Creep Function and Hill Climb Assist as well.

The Tata Nexon returns a decent mileage of 17km/l for the petrol variant and 21.5km/l for the diesel. The figures are nearly the same for both manual and automatic formats. With a fuel tank capacity of 44 litres, the Tata Nexon offers a good driving range too.

The Tata Nexon offers enough and more on the inside. The list of features includes a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, multiple driving modes; plus over 31 intelligently-designed storage spaces. Owing to this, the Tata Nexon promises good value for money.

The Tata Nexon is one of the best compact-SUVs on the market and shares its space with the Maruti Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport and Mahindra XUV 300. It is definitely a good choice within the price bracket.
