Looks good. Interior good with spacious and comfortable seats. Nice car for big family. Travelling long distance is very comfortable. Smooth handling and driving car in highway is very good.

Nexy The Beast

Bought 3 months ago and honestly speaking not found any issue till now, it has a premium exterior look, and a giant space inside, and mileage of 17-18 is OK for me as can't compromise with safety as it received 5* in global ncp rating. A premium SUV and Nexon selling rate has increased by 138% in July, thumps up for this beast. Just go for it guys

Tata Nexon petrol manual: CarWale Track Day 2021

By Ninad Ambre26 Oct 2021

A Tata Nexon? Firstly, an SUV. Secondly, a heavyweight. Then, it's also been here before, and so on. Well, so many reasons for it to be not here. But, it’s still the popular choice. Also, its pre-facelift had thoroughly impressed us at previous track-days with its dynamic abilities. So, with not much hesitancy, the Nexon joined the fray of our two-day programme with a limited seven-car grid.
