Depending on the variant, you’ll have to cover 76,991 to 82,914 km with the Tata Nexon diesel manual to recover the extra price you pay upfront over the Nexon petrol.

With the automatic, depending on the variant, you’ll have to cover 41,913 to 47,152km with the Nexon diesel to recover the extra price you pay upfront over the Nexon petrol.

Should You Buy Tata Nexon Petrol Or Diesel?

The Nexon diesel costs between Rs. 80,000 and Rs. 1.40 lakh more than the corresponding petrol variant, which is shockingly high considering that the petrol engine also gets a turbocharger. So, they both offer good drivability. Still, considering the current price differences between the Nexon petrol-diesel and the fuel prices, the Nexon diesel-manual only makes sense if you intend to drive the car for more than 77,000km to 83,000km, depending on the variant you buy.

For the automatic buyers, the Nexon diesel is worth buying only if you plan to drive the car for around 42,,000km. The diesel-automatic’s lower km-to-breakeven is not because it is more affordable or more fuel efficient than the manual. This is because the petrol-automatic is a bit less fuel efficient.
