Tata Nexon: Tata Nexon has made a name for itself in the tightly packed Indian SUV segment with stylish stance and price tag that does not burn a whole in your pocket.
The compact SUV has been capturing hearts all over the nation with its dashing design, extensive feature list, and Tata Motors’ safety assurance.
With prices beginning at about ₹8 lakhs upwards, the Nexon provides premium SUV feel and comfort without the premium price that comes with a regular vehicle in this category.
Tata Nexon Gawk-Worthy Design That Won’t Break The Bank
The 2025 Tata Nexon is a massive step forward in terms of design language as it shakes off the regular design approach and jumps onto the futuristic-premium bandwagon.
The striking front fascia leads with a distinctive lighting arrangement of 3D-style LED daytime running lights which also act as dynamic turn indicators. This lighting design creates a unique and incomparable on-road and parking lot prescence for the Nexon.
And the sharp, stylish headlamps in the bumper give outstanding vision and add to the contemporary look of the vehicle. The sculpted hood and the imposing grille design enhance Nexon’s imposing stance with a perceived touch of luxury that is definably higher than those from the aforementioned segments above.
The coupe-like profile and the floating roof design from side add to the premium-ness of the vehicle, the 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels further manages to add to the finesse.
At the rear, the linked LED tail lights give a feeling of width and contemporaryess. The ‘no-nonsense’ tailgate look with scarce badging finishes the luxury aesthetic.
From Pristine White, Daytona Grey, Grassland Beige, Pure Grey and Ocean Blue, to Royal Blue, the Nexon is designed for the young and free-spirited customers who want to make a statement on the road.”
Superior Interior Handiwork
Get inside the Tata Nexon and you’d be surprised at the interior quality of a car in this price range. The well-crafted dashboard is optimised with horizontal elements, which give a sense of width and a feeling of space.
The cabin is commendably trimmed in quality materials and with interesting textures and finishes that help it avoid being merely average.
The dashboard’s focal point is a floating 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment that the designer says is molded into the interior design. Its high-res screen also offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can easily connect your phone with zero wires.
This is accompanied by 10.25″ digital instrument cluster that delivers clear, easy to read information Variable information including navigation and assistance systems offers a choice: you can display it in the centre of the cluster, or have the additional information sites to the side.
Two spoke steering wheel with illuminated Tata logo feels contemporary and premium. Higher trims come with a voice-activated panoramic sunroof that fills the cabin with natural light and delivers an airy, upscale feel that we don’t often find in this segment.
More seating comfort and better lateral support is provide by the optional leatherette(faux leather) comes with contrasting stitching,The optional leatherette (Man-made slightly napped leather, less), also provides an air of quality to the entire interior.
Style has not come at the expense of comfort. The Nexon is pretty spacious for five people and there’s a particularly good amount of space in the rear seat for a sub-4 meter SUV.
The heavily bolstered seats offer long-ride support and the automatic climate control with rear vents should keep everyone comfortable regardless of outside temperatures.
Technology that Makes Life Both Easier and More Exciting
The Tata Nexon gets a long list of tech features that one would expect in vehicles costing a bomb and not in the sub-Rs 10 lakh segment. The aforementioned 10.25-inch infotainment system allows for a variety of connection options, while higher models benefit from a premium JBL sound system, to make the most of the volume for music lovers.
The vehicle also gets Tata’s iRA connected car tech that permits owners to access a plethora of functions remotely via a smartphone. Remote locking and unlocking, pre-cold-climing and car finding.the list goes on, and it’s all very convenient.
Using the voice commands, such as sunroof, you can operate without taking your hands off the wheel, upgrading the dignity of the luxury user.
More tech highlights comprise a 360-degree camera system to aid with parking in toight spaces, wireless charging for phones with no need to plug them in and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror to reduce nighttime glare from following vehicles.
I do think that the touch-based climate control panel imparts a modern feel to the interior, but I can understand the desire to have physical controls for easier use while on the road.
Power When You Need It, Economy When You Don’t
The Tata Nexon has something for everyone when it comes to the type of powertrain that you like to drive. The 1.2L turbocharged Revotron petrol engine, on the other hand, produces an equally impressive 120 PS of power and 170 Nm of torque, for spirited driving in the city and on the highway.
For those looking for that extra dose of torque and fuel-efficiency, the 1.5L turbocharged Revotorq engine (only available in the XM variant at this point of time) that churns out 115 PS and 260 Nm, gives a strong mid-range punch, allowing you to overtake easily.
They both are also available with a 6-speed manual transmission for the purists and an AMT or automatic manual transmission, for a more relaxed drive in stop-go traffic.
Taking the convenience quotient to another level is the Nexon DCT (Direct Clutch Transmission) option, delivering smooth and brisk shift changes that elevate the premium driving experience.
It also comes with several modes of driving including Eco, City and Sport since drivers may choose fuel economy over power when desired. Such as Eco mode for fuel saving oriented operation, City mode for the regular daily usage while the Sport mode adjusts the throttle response for a more engaging driving experience when you want to.
In line with an environmental and pocket-friendly mindset, Tata has also brought in a CNG variant of the Nexon, which not only saves a lot of fuel, but without compromising on performance. This model has been wildly popular with consumers who want the perks of an SUV without the heavy fuel bill.
Safety First: There’s Never a Good Reason to Risk Your Safety
Tata Motors is known for taking safety as a priority and the Nexon is an epitome of the same. It was the first Indian car to receive a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP and the 2025 model is constantly bettering on this with additional built-in safety features.
All versions of the Nexon get six airbags (dual front, sides and curtain), electronic stability program (ESP) and three-point seatbelts all-round – something of a rarity in this class.
Its high-strength steel cage construction shields occupants on the go, and hill-hold assist, traction control and roll-over mitigation all help bolster active safety.
The list of safety features is further bolstered by a tire pressure monitoring system which senses any leaks in the tires before they become hazardous, ISOFIX child seat anchor for child safety seats and an electronic parking brake with auto-hold function (available in certain trims). The holistic safety features offer peace of mind to families, thus making the Nexon a mature choice in the compact SUV space.
Premium Has Never Been So Affordable
What’s most impressive in all this is how the Tata Nexon brings all of this in a contemporary package of immense visual appeal, a car that is as loaded with features and safety kit as it looks like, at a starting price of just around ₹8 lakhs.
Though fully loaded versions may cross ₹15 lakhs, the range offers great value at each price level, even for the base versions, which are very well-specced.
The low pricing is backed by Tata’s reliability and affordable maintenance. The basic warranty is quite good, too, and its large service network makes maintenance and repairs easy and convenient in any part of the country.
Moreover, the good resale value of Nexon only plays a positive role in coluring the cost of ownership in an even better light.
Financing facilities are also abundant, with Tata Motors running special schemes especially on the festival time. The EMIs begin at appealing rates, so the monthly instalments are quite affordable for the price conscious purchasers.
Among those, mid-range models are a great way to go as you get most of the premium feature set without premium pricing.
Variations: Something for Everyone
The Tata car offers the Nexon in varied versions catering to varying tastes and budgets. The roster begins with the Smart, which though a base model, gets the essentials like dual airbags, ABS with EBD and a good infotainment system.
The Pure Plus and Pure Plus S trims up the ladder are tremendous value, adding highlights including the 10-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, HD camera and digital instrument cluster.
The Creative models advance from this platform by including even more goodies including automatic climate control, and more stylish exterior trim details.
People looking for a full-blown premium experience will be glad to know that the top-shelf Fearless variant brings all the bells and whistles, including the panoramic sunroof, JBL sound system, 360-degree camera and ventilation seats. There are special editions like the Dark Edition that add unique styling touches for those wishing to stray from the pack.
The Nexon’s premium looks are further enhanced in the Dark Edition thanks to the all-black treatment. Featuring blacked-out alloy wheels, a dark interior theme with contasting stitching and exclusive badging, this version has even formed something of a cult following among Indian SUV followers who are seeking a bit of eye-popping style.
