Good to know that you are really enjoying Nexon. This post is really encouraging to have at least test drive it. I am sure I might try this soon too.

Thanks

Delphi is not Bosch.

They are rivals in mostly.

[mayankdixit]

Correct you are.Its my bad. its DELPHI mostly.
Delphi Automotive PLC is an automotive parts manufacturing company headquartered in Gillingham, Kent, UK. It is one of the world's largest automotive parts manufacturers and has approximately 161,000 employees. Revenue: 17.02 billion USD (2014) source;Wikipedia

So far the positives:
Drivability is fantastic,in city.
Pickup is superb,almost like my petrol swift.
There is no knocking even if you are in wrong gears at low speed.
Rolling resistance is very- very low. I love it. I thought,because of extra fatty tyres(which I love BTW) the rolling resistance will be felt. Its even less than my erstwhile swift and Ritz.And they had skinny 165/80 tyres!!

the toggle switch to control ORVM is very nifty.
To close the mirrors switch has to be pressed down.
Also seen is the plastic quality of the door pad,which I appreciate BTW.

I will give the 2nd ans first.
well ,rear blower is just a blower .It does not have coolant pipes running underneath it. It enhances flow of cool air from front AC towards rear seat passengers,thereby increasing the speed of cooling of the cabin.When its not hot outside it will still help as a fan/blower for the rear passengers.
Regarding the 1st query,maybe foot mat /carpet was sticking onto the clutch paddles in your case.I have no such problem,whatsoever.

Just to show how nexon looks on the streets, and how it stands in comparison to other cars.





there is no radiator cap as such.The coolant cap doubles up as both(radiator cum coolant cap)




fog lamp housing has nice finishing with grooves in the plastic shroud,



there is clear and easy provision of roof wrap,which can be done anytime in future.

Congratulations on your new ride Mayank!
I have a couple of doubts I want to clear since I too am planning to buy this car!
First is are there two modes for the DRL's? How do we change to lower/brighter modes?
Secondly how bright is the infotainment screen in daylight with maximum brightness? If you have any photos or videos of this it will be very helpful.
Thank you and wish you many exciting miles ahead with the Nexon!

Thanks for your kind wishes.
By switching on the right- side (of the steering )stalk,you can adjust the drls.They can be switched off completely too.
Even in brightest of sunlight. infotainment screen is clearly visible,with no haziness (due to sunlight) at all.Will post a pic shortly for the same.

Buddy, Hope this pic is of help to you. Took it at the time of TD of Nexon. The visibility of this is much better from the one in my Tigor in day / sunlight.

In my view, fitting a gear lock, body cover and mud flaps are enough. You may buy seat covers and mats from a good aftermarket option in better price.

I was forced for the accessories.Only mud flaps, body cover,floor mats, and maybe seat covers are required in xz+ model,but in xm more things will be required.It will cost around 10K.But it maybe cheaper outside.
