Tata Nexon
The ride quality is where the Nexon shines. It isn’t overtly soft but rides very well over potholes and broken road surfaces. There is some firmness but not to the point where it gets disturbing. There is very little body roll and the steering feels pretty accurate. Grip from the tyres is decent and the brakes are quite reassuring too. It isn’t as good to drive fast as an Ecosport or Brezza though, but considering its target buyers, is up there with them.
The Nexon, though it isn’t the complete car we expected, enters the hottest segment of compact SUVs, with a few strong points. The styling, the interiors, the equipment list and the exemplary ride quality are all going to be appreciated by Indian buyers. While the Hexa is actually a facelifted Aria and the Tiago and Tigor were built to meet a certain price point, the Nexon has to be the most flexible, no-expenses-spared, grounds-up build in the Tata range. It has potential to put Tata back on top in the Indian car buyer’s radar and the huge waiting periods of Brezza should help things here. But, it all boils down to how they price it. And like I said before, Tata needs to work on its image and this is one way to do it.
