Expert's Take

Good Things	Flamboyant styling - Great concoction of modern/youthful looks with a rugged stance Refined motors/gearboxes - Peppy/smooth performance, good refinement, frugal Easy to drive - Compact size, steering that's light with reasonable feedback Good quality - Quality and fit/finish are on par with segment expectations Boot capacity - Reasonably sized boot good for occupants to last seven days	Upmarket looks, five-star G-NCAP safety Spacious cabin compared to rivals Easy to drive and live with	Sprightly performance Feature-packed cabin Good-looking, affordable SUV
Could be Better	Firm ride quality - Never feels settled, bounces at high speeds under full load Rear seat space - The rear bench is a squeeze for anything more than two adults Rear visibility - Is hampered by the chunky C-pillars and compact rear windscreen	Interior quality Low-end grunt from motors Infotainment screen not as good as rivals	Tight for three in the second row The boot has a high loading lip Cost-cutting is evident

Tata Nexon petrol manual: CarWale Track Day 2021

By Ninad Ambre8 months ago

A Tata Nexon? Firstly, an SUV. Secondly, a heavyweight. Then, it's also been here before, and so on. Well, so many reasons for it to be not here. But, it’s still the popular choice. Also, its pre-facelift had thoroughly impressed us at previous track-days with its dynamic abilities. So, with not much hesitancy, the Nexon joined the fray of our two-day programme with a limited seven-car grid.
