Tata Nexon
The Tata Nexon has been a huge success in India, thanks to its style, comfort, and, most importantly, safety features. The Nexon has always been at the top of this list, but this time it went above and beyond to become the best-selling car of the month. In December 2023, the Nexon with its petrol/diesel/EV variants sold 15,284 units, representing a 27 percent year-on-year increase. The Indian compact SUV received a facelift a few months ago in order to maintain its dominance, and the new Nexon is well-suited to that purpose.
The refreshed the Nexon is largely similar to the pre-facelift model, with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre turbo diesel engines. Both engines are mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed AMT. Nonetheless, the petrol engine can be paired with a 7-speed DCT automatic transmission, which has been well received for its smoothness. Furthermore, while the new Nexon has yet to be tested by the Global NCAP or Bharat NCAP, it is structurally similar to the previous model that received a 5-star G-NCAP safety rating.
