Tell us about your experience

The Tata Nexon is a compact SUV that you can have with a turbo-petrol, diesel or CNG engine. As per us, the petrol is refined enough for city use but isn't quick, while the diesel has a strong mid-range pull that suits the highway. The CNG feels close to the petrol to drive, though it gets noisier when you push it hard.

Key facts for the Nexon:

The 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol makes 120hp at 5,500rpm and 170Nm from 1,750-4,000rpm. It comes with a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 6-speed AMT or 7-speed DCT, and Eco, City and Sport drive modes.
The 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel makes 115hp at 3,750rpm and 260Nm from 1,500-2,750rpm, with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed AMT. It uses a Lean NOx Trap, so there is no urea tank to top up.
The CNG version of the turbo-petrol makes 100hp and 170Nm, and comes only with a 6-speed manual. Its twin cylinders hold 60 litres, or 9kg, of gas.
In our tests, the petrol manual did 0-100kph in 12.11 seconds, and the petrol DCT in 12.71 seconds.
It is 3,995mm long, 1,804mm wide and 1,620mm tall, with a 2,498mm wheelbase and 208mm of ground clearance.
The fuel tank holds 44 litres. The boot holds 382 litres, or 321 litres on the CNG.
It rides on 16-inch wheels, steel on the lower trims and alloys from the Creative, with 215/60 R16 tyres. It has disc brakes at the front and drums at the rear, and a 5.1m turning radius.

We really appreciate this car's performance in CNG and petrol. It's smooth to drive and very comfortable. We use it for marketing and family trips, traveling from Gujarat to Bangalore with five passengers. We love this car!

This car has good driving dynamics. What I like most is the AC, seat comfort, and sunroof. Great features for this price point, making it the best in the segment. Average economy is good, and maintenance is low with excellent customer support from the service center.

Comfort, premium feel, and safety are top-notch. The ride quality is exceptional. I bought this car a month ago, and the engine refinement is impressive. It has a punchy and powerful engine.

Very bad experience with my Tata nexon 2020.. After 37k oil cooler issues, car stopped in between, coolant mixed with engine oil. Replaced all parts in 2025, again same issues recently. Complained to Tata, they don't have any remedy for this. So car is not roadworthy and safe to travel... Very poor quality and service

My 9th car a Tata Nexon purchased last week. Found comfortable, with very easy rolling with excellent brake system and command over driving. I found that on the spending road price other brand might have charged more than 12 lacs. An excellent purchased.

Nexon is my first car and really like it, solid build of the car - feels like a mini tank. I bought the automatic transmission - sometimes feel laggy. But overally at this price range one of the best car.

We like

5-star Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP, six airbags and ESP starting from base variant.
208mm ground clearance leads the class; suspension stays composed over broken surfaces.
Twin 10.25-inch screens and 360-degree camera makes the cabin feel a segment above the price.

We don't like

Fit and finish on some carried-over trim and around the tail-lights does not match similarly-priced rivals.
Autocar India's test recorded 12.11 seconds to 100kph for the petrol manual, over a second slower than the Tata Punch
No accessible cup holders anywhere in the cabin. All holders are placed inside the glovebox.

I am looking to buy a car that will usually accommodate three people. I have shortlisted the Tata Punch CNG, Tata Nexon CNG and Tata Nexon diesel. My monthly running is around 400km in the city and 800km on the highway, and I live in Pune. Which of these three cars would you recommend, considering that I plan to keep it for more than 10 years? My priorities are low running and maintenance costs, along with long-term reliability. I would appreciate your suggestion based on these factors. Please restrict the comparison to these three options and do not include Maruti models.

The Tata Nexon diesel would be our recommendation, given your monthly running of around 1,200km, with 800km on the highway. Its 1.5-litre diesel engine produces 115hp and 260Nm, making it considerably better suited to highway cruising and overtaking than the CNG engines in the Tata Punch and Nexon. It will also deliver better fuel efficiency on long runs. The Nexon CNG is worth considering if minimising fuel costs is the overriding priority, but the diesel offers stronger performance and a more relaxed highway experience. The Punch CNG is the least suitable of the three for your usage, as it is smaller and its performance is more limited, particularly with passengers and luggage.For 10-year ownership, remember that the diesel will have higher periodic maintenance costs, including additional fuel filter and timing belt related expenses. CNG also brings its own filter maintenance and periodic cylinder testing requirements.

What would be the better option for long-term ownership: the Tata Nexon or the Mahindra XUV 3XO?

•2d

The Mahindra XUV 3XO would be our pick for long-term ownership over the Tata Nexon, particularly if you are considering the petrol automatic. Its 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine is stronger and the six-speed torque converter automatic is a well-established gearbox that is better suited to both city traffic and highway driving. The 3XO also offers a more spacious cabin, better rear-seat comfort and a more engaging driving experience.Both Tata and Mahindra have room for improvement when it comes to after-sales service, and workshop experience can vary considerably by location. However, Mahindra has a slight edge in consistency and technical support. The Nexon is a good product, but its DCA but it does not feel as refined or potent as the 3XO's torque converter.

My budget is Rs. 10 lakh that I can extend upto Rs. 12 lakh. I have Punch and Nexon in mind but I am unable to decide between these two. We are a family of 4. I believe that Punch would be suitable and within my budget, but I also feel that we may regret later if we choose Punch due to its lag and space issues that most people have reported. I am new to driving, so I want to choose an AMT car. Please advise.

•3d

Between the Tata Punch and Nexon, go for the Nexon as it is a larger car with more cabin space and a larger boot which will be ideal for your family. The Nexon also comes with a more powerful, turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engine than the Punch and you also get the option of a 6-speed AMT. Within your budget of Rs. 12 lakh, you'll get the Nexon Pure+ S AMT which is decently equipped and has all the basics covered.

New Sonet is spied, would you guys wait for it or go for current cars like Nexon?

Hi, I am planning to buy a sub-4-metre automatic SUV but am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXi AT, Hyundai Venue HX5 DCT, Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX M (O)/Edge, Kia Sonet HTK (O) DCT and Tata Nexon Creative DCA. Which of these would offer the best value for money? Do the reliability and overheating issues associated with DCT/DCA gearboxes still persist? My priorities are good real-world fuel efficiency and a smooth, reliable automatic gearbox. Driver-seat visibility and the availability of a reverse camera are also important considerations. Which would you recommend based on these requirements?

•1w

Given that fuel economy and gearbox smoothness are priorities for you, we'd recommend you consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXI AT. Its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and six-speed automatic gearbox combination work very well to give a smooth drive. While it's not particularly sporty or exciting, it makes up for it with a pleasant driving experience. The Brezza's elevated seating also gives you a good view of the road and the reverse camera quality is decent.Of the others, the Tata Nexon Creative DCA offers the smoothest gearbox. However fuel economy will not be at par with the Brezza. In fact, none of the other contenders on your shortlist, which use turbo-petrol engines, will be able to match the Brezza on real-world fuel economy.
