Tata Nexon FAQs

The cheapest Nexon variant to offer a panoramic sunroof is the Pure+ PS, which costs Rs 9.59 lakh (ex-showroom). In fact, the Nexon is the only car in India to offer a panoramic sunroof under Rs 10 lakh.

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.
