Tata Nexon FAQs
Trending Questions on Tata Nexon - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am planning to buy an SUV within a budget of approximately 16 lakh. As I am a retired Naval Officer hence prefer to buy through CSD. I prefer to own a new Maruti Sajuki Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid variant. But am perplexed whether to go for the Tata Nexon (Top Variant) or the Strong Hybrid Grand Vitara. My usage of the vehicle is hardly for 5/6 days a month. Kindly advise a suitable vehicle for me, please. Regards.
I am looking for my second car with a stylish design, best ground clearance, 5-star safety, and top features like Level 2 ADAS, tyre monitoring system, sunroof, large boot, and cruise control. My preferences are Curvv, new Duster, XL6, Harrier, or Toyota cars. Please advise which would be the best suitable option and which variant as well. My usage is about 60% city and 40% highway, with a budget of ₹15 lakh.
None of the cars you have shortlisted have Level 2 ADAS, within your budget of Rs 15 lakhs. Since this is a must-have, you may consider the Tata Nexon, which satisfies all your requirements. It includes a 5-star crash safety rating, ADAS, tyre pressure loss indicator, sunroof, cruise control, and its boot space is quite respectable too. Also, the Nexon feels tough, and its ride comfort is very good for your city and highway drives.
If you are comfortable with sedans, then the Honda City and Hyundai Verna meet all your requirements, and have a much larger boot than all the compact SUVs on sale. Between the two, the Verna feels more modern, and is a bit more refined, too.
Please suggest a car with CNG and manual transmission that is suitable for occasional long highway driving, with an on-road budget of ₹12 lakh.
The Tata Nexon CNG would be a good option for you. Instead of one large CNG tank eating into boot space, it uses Tata’s innovative twin cylinder setup, which places two CNG cylinders under the boot floor. This means you don’t lose out on a proper usable boot. Moreover, there's also a spare wheel mounted under the car.
Boot space over the standard Nexon due to a higher floor, but it's still very useable and this and the spare can be handy on your long highway drives. The Nexon also has a good highway ride, and you will get a very well-equipped version in your budget.
I want a 5-seater diesel car with good fuel efficiency, with a budget of up to Rs 15 lakh. Please suggest.
Hi Autocar Team, I am Neel. I am buying my first car and need suggestions for a non-AMT automatic car with an on-road budget of Rs 10 lakh and Rs 14 lakh. My priorities are safety, mileage and features like a 360-degree camera and cruise control. Kindly provide your suggestions.
My on-road budget is around Rs 15 lakh. I am unable to decide between the Urban Cruiser Taisor, XUV 3XO, Nexon and Fronx. I am looking for good mileage, safety, AMT and a sunroof. Please guide me.
My monthly commute is around 2500 kms. I need a fuel-efficient car that offers good space and safety. My budget is around 12-13 lakh. Which car would you recommend?
I will be mostly using the car for city driving and plan to buy it through a car leasing program. I am confused between the XUV 3XO, XUV 7XO, and Tata Nexon. Please advise.
I am looking to buy a new car with a maximum budget of ₹10-15 lakh. I want a car with a 4- or 5-star safety rating that delivers a decent fuel average. My usage will be mostly on weekends, with a maximum of 500-700 km per month. I want an automatic car, but not an AMT. My shortlist includes: Skoda Kyalq Signature Plus/Prestige TC 3XO AX5L Tata Nexon Creative Plus PS Dark 7 DCA Please suggest the best option.
Unfortunately, none of the turbo petrol options you listed will be very efficient. Given your limited running, this should not be a concern.
We would recommend choosing between the Skoda Kylaq and the Mahindra XUV 3XO. Both are engaging to drive, offer strong turbo petrol engines, smooth 6-speed torque converter automatics, and a comfortable ride.
The key difference is space. The Mahindra is the better five-seater thanks to its wider body, while the Skoda offers a larger and more practical boot.
The Tata Nexon remains one of the highest-selling cars in the segment, but it is also among the oldest and is due for an update.
