Tata Motors is known as one of the most trustworthy auto manufacturers in the country. From sedans and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) to trucks, pick-ups, and lorries, the company has a portfolio of quality offerings that continue to impress users. One such vehicle that has received a lot of popular and critical acclaim is the Tata Nexon 2024, a compact SUV that features a stellar design, powerful engine, and off-roading capabilities. 

Engine and performance
The Tata Nexon is powered by a 1.2L Turbocharged Revotron Petrol engine that has an engine capacity of 1199 CC and can produce up to 170 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm.

This system connects to a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission (depending on the trim chosen). Automatic transmission is available for those who may be interested.

Buyers can also opt for a diesel variant of the car, which is powered by a 1.5L Turbocharged Revotorq engine with a 1497 CC capacity. With this powertrain, the car can produce up to 260 Nm at 1500-2750 rpm. 

Further, to ensure a smooth ride, Tata Nexon has been fitted with two distinct types of suspension systems. In the front, buyers will find an independent, Lower Wishbone, McPherson Strut with Coil Spring. In the back, this is managed by a semi-independent, open-profile twist beam with a stabiliser bar, coil spring, and shock absorber. 

Fuel economy
The fuel tank in the Tata Nexon has a maximum capacity of 44 litres and offers drivers a mileage of around 17.01-24.08 kilometres per litre (kmpl). While the fuel capacity is the same in the diesel variant, its offered mileage is around 23.08 kmpl. 

Interiors and comfort
On the inside, the Tata Nexon offers ventilated seats with a full digital cluster. Captivating attention right in the front is the two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo. The car also has additional comfort features such as an instrument cluster with navigation display, air purifier with dust sensors, Xpress Cool system, a power outlet in the boot, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror (IRVM), touch-based HVAC controls, a rear power outlet, grand floor console with leatherette armrest, iRA connected vehicle features, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. 

Design
The exteriors of the Tata Nexon have brought the future closer. With a raised hood, sleek lamps, and a dynamic stance, the car looks every bit imposing – an SUV that’s meant to stun the streets. The aesthetics are further amplified by the R16 alloy wheels with Aero inserts, which are as stylish as they are functional. The car also features sequential LED DRLs that enhance its safety while adding a bit of flair.

Safety
One of the biggest reasons for the growth and popularity of Tata Motors has been the brand’s commitment to safety. And the Tata Nexon particularly has received the highest Global NCAP safety rating of 5.0 stars. The car has a ton of safety and driver assistance features such as a blind-spot monitoring system, hill assist, speed-sensing auto door lock, day/night rearview mirror, 360-view camera, impact-sensing auto door unlock, anti-lock braking system (ABS), ISOFIX child seat mounts, six airbags (driver, passenger, and side-front), traction control system (TCS), engine immobilisers, central locking, child safety locks, rear camera, rear wash wiper, rear defogger, and much more.
