Best in class subcompact SUV as from the date of this review 14/03/18

Exterior Exterior design is controversial and design preferences on it's own is subjective. To me personally I grew fond of it over time.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best in class interiors compared to the rivals and few cars even above it's price range and it has one of the most comfortable seats in a car under 20lakhs on-road. Infotainment system is fully loaded with amazing sound quality from Harman and you can take my word for it for I am an audio nerd. Fight can be given only by the compass or the hexa which uses a superior audio system from same Harman systems. Materials feel nice to touch and only picky con I find was the glossy plastics on the interiors which are prone to scratches. I didn't want to complain on anything here for the price but there are minor fit and finish issues with some of the plastic components which I don't find to be a deal breaker as it does so many things way better than my expectations.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance on the diesel variant is top notch for any car for or under the price paid for a top end subcompact SUV under 20 lakhs on-road. Gearbox doesn't suck and it isn't great either. I had no complaints and it was just nothing to boast or point out as a pro or a con. This engine sure has lots of torque at the mid range for the enthusiast who are willing to floor the acceleration on this machine.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is good for a car of this size and ground clearance and this is one of the most comfortable car in it's segment but do keep in mind the car isn't for the 5th passenger in the middle as it has very good cushioning for under thigh support for the seats and gives only a narrow seat left for that passenger seated in the middle. 

Final Words Biggest con of the car was it's short wheelbase with which I find a bit difficult to get out of the rear seats and due to it's coupe inspired design, it gets a thick C pillar that gives this car some blindspots at the rear. Overall, no car is perfect and with that said Nexon is breath of fresh air in terms of ample features and designing and it is also the best subcompact SUV imo for the demanded reasonable price, so grab one before any possible price hikes.

Areas of improvement Plastic fit and finishes, Avoiding glossy plastic on the interiors, maybe a better refined engine (not really my complaint though it can be nicer to have a smoother engine).
