Long range of powertrain options

The Nexon is available in petrol, diesel, petrol-CNG and even electric propulsion systems. Furthermore, both petrol and diesel engines come with the choice of manual and automatic transmission options. It is worth mentioning that the Nexon CNG is also the only CNG-powered car in the market to offer a turbocharged petrol engine.

Good interior space and comfort

The Tata Nexon has been a comfortable and spacious SUV since its first launch. With time, the market has been introduced with new vehicles that excel in one way or another but the Nexon continues with its balance between a spacious and comfortable cabin and good driving dynamics. The Tata Nexon rear seat space is among the best in the sub-compact SUV space. However, Tata could improve on cabin ergonomics and storage options.

Riddled with reliability issues

These issues range from electronic glitches to mechanical malfunctions. The latter is relatively less bothersome for Nexon owners but electronic and software glitches are something that still persist in the Nexon.

Confusing variant lineup

Step into a Tata showroom to enquire about the Nexon and you will be hardpressed to pick one variant, since there are so many of them separated by small and sometimes, unnecessary features

Subpar plastic quality

Despite being such a popular car in the market and on sale in the market for so long, the interior quality on the Nexon still fails to impress. Rough edges, ill fitment of plastics and decolouring panels are issues many owners still face in their newly-bought Nexon.
