The Nexon remains calm and composed at high speeds and makes for a good long-distance cruiser.

Headlamp’s blister-like indicator pod inspired by Nissan Juke.

Sharply cut tail-lamps with their LED elements look really slick.

The high-set 6.5-inch touchscreen is easy to read but touch responses aren’t slick and the system also operates with a bit of lag. You can use voice commands with good accuracy to adjust temperature and set radio stations, not so much for dialing numbers from your phone’s contacts list. Smartphone addicts will be happy to know Android Auto is part of the package and Apple CarPlay will be offered soon too. Tata also offers phone apps for navigation, remote control and jukebox (allowing all passengers to add songs to a single playlist) that help enhance the functionality of the infotainment system. As expected, the Nexon’s four-speaker, four- tweeter sound system is hugely impressive.
