Possible reasons affecting Tata Nexon sales

The Tata Nexon has lost its popularity over the years, which can be attributed to a number of factors. To begin with, Tata Motors considerably increased the prices of the new Nexon as it stepped to a new generation model. What came along with the new-gen Nexon were a plethora of issues and software glitches, further demotivating the buyers. On the other hand, the Brezza is much more reliable with its simpler powertrain and feature set, which has been offered in other Maruti Suzuki models for many years.
