Tata Nexon has been one of the most highly-anticipated vehicles from the homegrown automaker ever and it has all the bells and whistles to back up the hype going by recent sales numbers. For instance, it is the first subcompact SUV in the Indian market to feature multiple driving modes – Eco, City and Sport – across its range in both petrol and diesel versions.
The Nexon has taken styling inputs from Tata’s European design studios and it has a proper SUV stance with peculiar elements. It has the highest ground clearance in the segment at 209 mm while the boot can hold a volume of 350 litres that can be increased to 690 litres when the rear seats are folded flat.
