Pros & Cons

Tata Nexon

Things We Like

•It scored five stars in BNCAP crash safety tests and gets six airbags and ISOFIX anchors as standard.
•It gets modern features such as a panoramic sunroof, JBL sound system, and wireless charger.
•The CNG is offered across all trims without compromising on the 321-litre boot.
•The new touch-based AC controls look great, respond well, and include handy toggle switches.
•Thanks to its 209mm ground clearance and balanced suspension, it handles potholes confidently.

Things We Don't Like

•The diesel engine can do with more refinement and the throttle response feels delayed up to 2,000 rpm.
•The CNG is limited to a manual transmission which may deter city drivers seeking easy shifting.
•Fit and finish feels subpar in places and design oddities such as bottle holder and cubby placement could’ve improved.
•The touchscreen infotainment display seems to lag or freeze at times.
