Tata Nexon [2020-2023] XZA Plus (L)

I’ve been driving the Tata Nexon for over 17,500 km, and it has been a solid and confidence-inspiring companion. The build quality is the first thing you notice — the car feels sturdy, planted, and safe on every kind of road. The dark edition styling still turns heads and gives the Nexon a premium, commanding look. The automatic gearbox is smooth in city traffic and performs confidently on highways. Ride comfort is impressive; bumps and rough patches are handled well, making long drives stress-free. The cabin is spacious, with comfortable seats and good sound insulation. Features like the infotainment system, safety tech, and overall ergonomics have aged well over time. Mileage is decent for an automatic, especially in mixed driving conditions. A few areas can still improve — the touchscreen response could be quicker, and Tata’s service experience varies by centre — but the car itself remains reliable and enjoyable to drive. Overall, after 17.5k km, the Nexon continues to feel safe, stylish, and value-packed. A great choice for anyone seeking a strong, dependable compact SUV.
