The Tata Nexon is a B2-segment SUV for buyers who want strong road presence, high ground clearance, multiple powertrain options and a strong safety package. The current Nexon offers a 1.2L turbo petrol engine, a 1.5L turbo diesel engine and a 1.2L turbo CNG option. The petrol engine is available with manual, AMT and DCT automatic transmission options. The diesel gets manual and AMT options, while the CNG is available with a manual transmission only. The Nexon CNG is also unique because it combines turbo petrol performance with CNG running costs. The Nexon’s biggest strengths are its 208mm ground clearance, 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, feature-rich higher variants, wide powertrain range and comfortable ride quality. However, buyers should also consider its confusing variant lineup, low claimed petrol efficiency compared to rivals, touch-sensitive controls and the lack of telescopic steering adjustment.
The Nexon facelift gets a sharper and more squared-off design than the older model. The front design uses slim LED DRLs, a black centre strip and headlamps placed lower in the bumper. This gives the Nexon a wider and more modern look. The LED DRLs also work as turn indicators, and the Nexon was one of the first SUVs in its segment to offer sweeping-style indicators. The front bumper, lower air intake and split-lighting layout also help reduce the rounded look of the older Nexon.
From the side, the Nexon still has a familiar silhouette. Tata could not fully remove the rounded look, but the chunky tyres, 16-inch wheels and 208mm ground clearance help it maintain strong SUV presence.
At the rear, the connected LED tail-lamps are the biggest design change. The reverse lamps sit in the bumper, while the slim LED indicators blend into the tail-lamp design when switched off. Tata have also hidden the rear wiper under the spoiler, which gives the tailgate a cleaner look.
The Nexon offers 382L of boot space, though the loading lip is a bit tall. In top variants with the subwoofer, usable boot space reduces slightly. The rear seats fold in a 60:40 split, but they do not fold flat.
The Nexon’s cabin now looks more modern and premium than before. The dashboard uses straighter lines, a 2-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo, a 10.25-inch touchscreen and a full-colour LCD instrument cluster. Higher variants also offer ventilated front seats, wireless phone charger, JBL sound system, 360-degree camera, blind view monitor, auto-dimming IRVM and panoramic sunroof.
The touchscreen and digital instrument cluster are sharp and responsive. The instrument cluster can also show navigation maps across most of the display, which is useful. However, smartphone pairing was not always seamless during V3Cars’ test experience.
The cabin still has some ergonomic issues. The dashboard top uses hard and scratchy plastics, and the glovebox does not sit perfectly flush when closed. The cubby with the USB-A, USB-C and 12V ports is also a bit hard to access.
The biggest usability issue is the touch-sensitive control panel. Tata have kept fan speed and temperature control on toggle switches, which is good. But many other functions, including the hazard warning switch, use touch controls. These are not as easy to use while driving as physical buttons.
The front seating position offers a good view outside, but the lack of telescopic steering adjustment is a big miss at this price. It also has a cramped footwell, which can make the driver sit slightly angled to the right.
Rear-seat space is acceptable, but not class-leading. With the front seat set for a 5ft 8in driver, there is just enough kneeroom and enough space to slide feet under the front seat. The seat base offers strong under-thigh support, but the dark interior theme, small windows and sloping roofline reduce the airy feel.
The Nexon’s 1.2L turbo petrol engine produces 120PS and 170Nm. The base petrol manual gets a 5-speed transmission, while higher petrol-manual variants get a 6-speed transmission. The 5-speed manual keeps the entry price low, but the missing 6th gear can make highway drives less relaxed.
The petrol DCT is the most refined automatic option in the Nexon lineup. In V3Cars’ first-drive test, the DCT felt smooth and intuitive. It held gears when required and shifted up or down according to throttle input. Manual gear changes are possible with paddle shifters, though the DCT does not shift as quickly as some European dual-clutch transmissions.
At 100kmph in 7th gear, the petrol DCT cruises at around 1500rpm. Even at that RPM, it has enough reserve performance for quick overtakes. In V3Cars’ highway-heavy first-drive test, the Nexon petrol DCT returned 12.66kmpl.
The 1.5L turbo diesel engine produces 116PS and 260Nm. It is the better option for buyers with frequent highway running. The diesel manual cruises at around 2000rpm in 6th gear at 100kmph, and most overtakes do not need a downshift. The diesel clatter is audible, but the engine feels smooth. In V3Cars’ tests, the Nexon diesel manual returned 15.82kmpl in the city and 21.61kmpl on the highway. This makes it one of the most efficient cars V3Cars has tested so far.
The Nexon CNG produces 100PS and 170Nm in CNG mode. It loses 20PS compared to the petrol mode, and the torque band is narrower. Still, it does not feel slow in CNG mode. Tata’s twin-cylinder layout also gives the Nexon CNG a usable 321L boot, which is much better than most single-cylinder CNG SUVs.
Ride quality is one of the Nexon’s strengths. The facelifted Nexon handles potholes confidently and feels like a larger SUV over rough roads. It also feels stable at highway speeds, though there is noticeable body roll during quick lane changes and fast cornering.
The Tata Nexon remains one of the strongest compact SUVs for buyers who want safety, features, road presence and multiple powertrain choices. Its 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, 208mm ground clearance, diesel efficiency and CNG practicality make it a strong all-rounder.
It is not perfect. The petrol versions have low claimed efficiency compared to rivals, the variant lineup is confusing, and several lower and mid variants miss important features. The touch-sensitive controls, lack of telescopic steering adjustment and some fit-and-finish inconsistencies also affect the ownership experience.
For petrol-manual buyers on a strict budget, the Smart variant can make sense with aftermarket accessories. For buyers spending more, Creative and above variants are easier to recommend. For petrol-AMT buyers, Creative is the strongest pick. For petrol-DCT buyers, any available variant can be considered based on budget and feature needs.
For diesel buyers, the Nexon still makes a strong case because of its real-world highway efficiency and strong torque. For CNG buyers, the Smart Plus S is sensible on a budget, while the Creative Plus is our top recommendation. Buyers looking at the top variants should choose them only if they value feel-good features like panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, ADAS and premium cabin equipment.
