The Tata Nexon is a compact SUV priced from roughly ₹7.4 lakh to ₹14.52 lakh ex-showroom, with an unusually wide spread of 65 variants. It's offered with a 118bhp 1.2L turbo-petrol, a 113bhp 1.5L turbo-diesel, or a factory-fit CNG option, paired with a manual, AMT or DCT automatic gearbox depending on the combination.
Every variant gets a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating with 6 airbags standard, and the range-topping trim adds a voice-controlled electric sunroof, a 10.24-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, cruise control and a 360-degree camera. There's no ADAS at any price point though, and the base Smart trim is fairly bare, skipping the touchscreen, sunroof and cruise control entirely.

Real owner opinions, filtered by how you actually ride.
The Nexon offers strong safety credentials and a punchy turbo-petrol engine, but this base variant lacks key daily-commute conveniences like touchscreen infotainment, cruise control, and rear power windows, making it a mixed fit for daily commuting.
The Nexon's turbo-petrol engine and manual gearbox give enthusiasts genuine driving involvement, but the base variant strips away tech and creature comforts that many enthusiasts also expect.
The Nexon is a strong choice for families thanks to its class-leading safety credentials, though this base petrol trim skimps on comfort and convenience features families often want.
Nexon offers strong safety credentials for highway trips but lacks key long-distance comfort features like cruise control and rear AC vents, making it a middling pick for frequent long hauls.
Took the Nexon petrol manual on a Delhi-Jaipur trip and came away with real reservations. Noticeable vibration in first gear and reverse, something I'd read about in other owner reviews but hoped wouldn't apply to mine, has been present since day one. No cruise control on this trim made the highway stretch genuinely tiring. Mileage on the trip settled around 13-14kmpl, below what I'd hoped for a claimed-efficient turbo-petrol. The car is otherwise comfortable and the boot handled our luggage fine, but between the vibration issue and patchy service centre response so far, I'm not as confident in this car as I'd hoped to be.
Picked the Nexon diesel AMT for family use and the safety package was the deciding factor. 6 airbags and the 5-star Bharat NCAP rating gave us real confidence carrying the kids around Chennai. Diesel mileage has been genuinely good, close to 20kmpl in mixed driving against the claimed 24.08kmpl. 321-litre boot handles our weekend luggage without a squeeze. AMT is smooth enough for city use though it hesitates slightly from a standstill. Ride comfort is good for the kids on shorter trips. Overall, a genuinely safe and practical family SUV that's held up well so far.
The Nexon petrol AMT has worked out well for our family of four around Hyderabad. Boot space easily fits our stroller and groceries together, and the cabin feels comfortable for shorter family trips. 6 airbags standard gave us peace of mind over some rivals we considered. Ground clearance handles our society's speed breakers without scraping. Mileage sits around 14kmpl in city traffic, reasonable for daily use. AMT shifts are adequate, not the smoothest but acceptable. Build quality feels solid for the price bracket. Genuinely satisfied with this as a practical, safe family SUV.
Did a Jaipur-Udaipur trip in the Nexon diesel manual and it handled the distance well. 260Nm of torque low down means minimal downshifting on inclines, and the 44-litre tank combined with a real-world 20-21kmpl gave a genuinely useful range between fuel stops. Cabin stayed comfortable over the 5-hour drive, and the boot easily took our luggage. 208mm ground clearance handled a few rougher patches without any scraping. Road noise creeps in past 100kmph, and I did miss cruise control on the flatter stretches. Overall though, a genuinely capable highway companion for the price.
