Tata Nexon FAQs
Trending Questions on Tata Nexon - Answered by Autocar Experts
My monthly running is around 1,500 km, mainly on highways, and I want a car with an automatic transmission. Should I choose petrol or diesel? Also, please suggest a suitable vehicle within a ₹15 lakh budget.
Since most of your running is on the highways, a diesel SUV would be a good choice. Also, a manual gearbox will be good enough for the highways and will offer a better driving experience and efficiency.
The Tata Nexon with the 1.5-litre diesel engine offers strong performance and good efficiency. It is also quite practical with a large boot and a fantastic ride quality that is segment-best. In your budget, you can get the top-spec Fearless+ trim that gets a well-packed cabin with a lot of features.
I’m 24 years old and planning to buy our first car, which will be shared between my parents and me (they’re in their 50s and still learning to drive). My budget is around ₹10-12 lakh, and I can stretch it by another ₹1 lakh if needed. I’m considering an automatic with a smooth transmission. I’m confused between the Tata Nexon and the Mahindra XUV 3XO. I don’t know much about cars, so I’d really appreciate your advice on which one would be a better fit for power, comfort, ease of driving, and overall value within my budget. Please also suggest specific automatic variants that make sense for my needs.
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.
