Tata Nexon

Positives:

• It has an electric sunroof that can be operated with voice commands and an air purifier.

• It is available with ventilated front seats, height-adjustable driver and co-driver seatbelts, 60:40 split folding rear seats, and rear AC vents.

• It has a spacious cabin with leatherette upholstered seats that are supportive, including under-thigh support even in the second row.

• The 360-degree camera is high resolution and the climate control touch panel is responsive while also using toggle switches for smooth usage.

• The 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster has integrated Google Maps, driver attention assist, and other information such as tyre pressures.

• It is offered with a 10.25-inch floating infotainment system by Harman and eight JBL speakers including a subwoofer.

• The infotainment looks and feels upmarket, is responsive, and responds to Alexa commands providing hands-free convenience.

• There is wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, wireless charging, and connected vehicle technology with the iRA app.
• This Tata SUV has 382 litres of bootspace that can accommodate around three suitcases (one medium and two large) and a few soft bags to go.

Negatives:

• Although supportive, the seat cushioning on both rows feels slightly hard to be seated on.
• The horn button placement is too far from one’s thumb to reach without letting go of the steering.
• The 12V and USB ports are still not easy to access in the front console and placing a phone or wallet there obstructs the movement of the gear lever.

Positives:

• The Tata Nexon has received a five-star safety rating from the BNCAP authorities.
• Six airbags are standard on this SUV and also has features like a blind-view monitor, auto headlamps, and rain-sensing wipers.
• There are other features like an auto-dimming IRVM, three-point seatbelts for all seats, and a rear defogger.
• It also benefits from improved visibility from the 360-degree surround view system with front parking sensors.

Negatives:

• The Tata Nexon is not offered with ADAS features.

Positives:

• It has LED DRLs and headlamps, dual-tone roof, and stylish diamond-cut alloys with aero inserts.

• The modern DRLs with bumper-integrated headlights and other styling details lend it a striking visual appearance.

• There are monotone paints such as Ocean Blue, Pure Grey, Calgary White, Flame Red, and Daytona Grey.
• The dual-tone colours are Fearless Purple (black roof), Daytona Grey (black or white roof), Flame Red (black or white roof), Pristine White (black roof), and Ocean Blue (white roof).
• The Fearless Purple paint shade on the Tata Nexon is a bold colour option that vividly stands out on the road.

• It has an exclusive cabin trim for Fearless Purple, Ocean Blue, Daytona Grey, Flame Red, Pristine White, and Calgary White.
• It is available in ‘Dark’, which gets an all-black exterior with black alloys, black dashboard, black leatherette seats with blue stitching, and matching blue accents.

• The Nexon’s two-spoke steering wheel with the illuminated logo looks attractive and so do the air-con touch panel controls.

Negatives:

• The all-black cabin tends to look less spacious than the versions that have lighter-coloured interiors.
• The quality of the plastic along with the fit and finish lower down in the cabin do not look premium.
• The piano-black surfaces inside the Nexon’s cabin attract fingerprint smudges almost instantly.
