Aside from their powertrains, the ICE-powered Nexon differentiates itself from the Nexon EV by way of slightly different styling and colour options. The Nexon EV is much more expensive too, but gets a few extra features, like a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen and V2L/V2V functionality.

The Nexon diesel is ideal for those who frequently go on highway trips and want good mileage. The petrol variants of the Nexon are the most powerful and affordable up front, while the CNG variants offer lower running costs, albeit at a premium. Unlike the Nexon petrol and diesel, though, the CNG variants are not offered with an automatic gearbox option.

We recommend the Tata Nexon Diesel Creative MT (Rs 11.25 lakh, ex-showroom) as it offers all the features you need and gets a frugal yet peppy diesel engine. If you want an automatic, you can go with the Nexon Petrol Creative DCT, which costs exactly the same and offers the same features, albeit with higher running costs.

A 7-speed DCT is offered in higher variants of the Nexon, while the 6-speed AMT is available as a more affordable option in lower variants. The DCT is smoother and more sophisticated, so if your budget allows, you should opt for this gearbox.

Comparing 6-speed MT and AMT variants, the price difference between the Tata Nexon petrol and diesel ranges from Rs 1.05 lakh to Rs 1.25 lakh.

Comparing the 6-speed MT variants, the price difference between the Tata Nexon petrol and CNG ranges from Rs 75,000 to Rs 1 lakh.
