Tata Nexon Ownership Review
Hello Everyone,
Its been more then half a month I spent with my new Nexon XZ+ odometer clocked +1000 Kms. I thought this is the high time to share my experience with you guys.
How I made my decision to buy Nexon: Obviously, like others I have been following this since Auto expo. But to be very frank this is not the only reason. I owned 2011 Chevy Beat black color, my entire family love our Beat, there are multiple reasons to love it. Me and my wife bought this car. This was our first new car (we owned second hand Alto before this). We have grown from 2 to 4 family members with this car. My daughter spent her 4.8 years with this car. She was so sad that day when we sold this car, there is no happiness of owning a new car on her face. When we reached to Concorde motors Patparganj to take delivery for our new car and farewell our ever loving Beat my daughter thrown a very difficult question to address. She asked "Papa can we keep our Blacky (This is what we call it) for one more day, can we take our Nexon tomorrow"? To be very frank I never had an answer for this. Somehow my wife managed her. I have planned to buy new can around mid of 2018 but thanks to General motors (runaway from India). We have planned to keep Beat with us for my wife but GM dont want us to do that. My Beat need some immediate investment to repair clutch and gear (approx 30K+ service cost+ some other **** and bits). GM dealers not offering any discounts in spears after Gm bind-up news. I have to invest 40K plus to keep my car for 1 more year and I am not sure about resale value after one year. So I took this to family and we all agreed to opt for new car
Moving to Nexon selection, we had Brezza, Nexon and Duster. Duster ruled-out due to going above our budget. I TDed both Nexon and Brezza (I am not going into comparison) but I felt Nexon is better buy against Brezza, specially on VFM part. On other hand, my wife straightaway rejected Brezza. So finally we made the decision to go ahead with Nexon.
Why I bought XZ+: I have mentioned this in this threats. All signature whistle and bells missing in other variants.
Ownership Review:
Exterior: I own moroccan blue XZ+, this particular color is little fleshy but my daughter's selected this color (Dealer had Blue and White available). Through I had a booking for Grey but somehow dealer dont have any clarity about delivery date. The white strip look feb on blue color. I personally like to side profile most followed by front and rear. Fit and finish, I would say its not great but neither bad. If you see the C pillar where almost 7 different panels mixing together, TATA did a great job.
Paint quality: Overall satisfactory, I only find some problem on the rear while strip (X-fector).
Nexon is a head turner and I have answered more than 100 strangers till date. Almost 8 friends TDed my car and found it much better then other cars in the segment. One of these friend own Brezza, he found my car much superior than Brezza.
Interior: In one word "superb" Quality of plastic, design, infotainment system, all put together a great package. Here this really shows "Level Nex" characteristic. ICE system have little slow response to touch and physical buttons. Popup screen again look great and gave a Level Next feel.
Utility space below tambour door is too small but there are so many utility spaces you can utilize.
One day i found one plastic nut near driverside floor. On investigation I found the nut is to fix floor mat, I fixed it again its working well so far. I also show some ugly looking finish (photo posted).
ICE system- The sound quality is superb you have to set equalizer as per your choice. I have couple of times equalizer reset to default, I will ask my SA during my next visit. Touch is little show to response but that will come to habit after some time. ICE operation is very easy and you can control many function from steering mounted controls. Steering on smaller side, need some time to get in habit. I feel the steering is marginally show to respond in comparison to my Chevy Beat but not a deal breaker.
Ride comfort: As some reviews reported you feel some bump at lower speed. But by the moment you are 20 KMPH plus car dismiss almost all small or even big path holes.
Sitting position is great, great visibility from driver seat. Some review have reported tick A pillar but remember I am coming from Chevy Beat which have the similar A pillar. Seats are cushioned well and very comfortable I did a 298 Kms ride nonstop (Mix of city and highway) not felt tiredness.
Engine: Not an expert but from the lehman,s point of view, engine respond to acceleration very well. Through car running at 120, 2k rev and 6th gear.
Fuel economy- For my 1060 Kms trip meter shows FE of 16.6 and for 298 Km trip meter it shows FE of 19.1. on full tank bases I got FE of 14.7.
Nexon is a funky looking car, but being Beat owner I love those funky looks and I am just 35 so have all the rights to use funky car. We named it Nexty (Nex-tee).
Final comment: Nexon stand out of the crowd so you once you get behind the wheels. So far I have not faced any issue with the car with my short and long drives.
