Well, I've seen design issues in other brands too but too much similarity in Tata. I will buy a new car when my Tiago completes 10yrs (probably 4m+) as my Tiago has no issues but due to poor design choice of Tata looks like I would drop them if they are hell bound on my below observations. Also I feel biggest sales loss to Tata comes due to poor design choices like these:
- Round & Sloping roof even on SUVs! (After watching his many interviews I felt Pratap Bose had a disease called Couperia in which he wanted to design everything Coupe style even if its an entry level car or suv )
- Worst Ingress Egress compared to any brand. Problem is car floor kept too high, window sill very low to make sure if you're not careful your head will bang. Add to it a roof desperate to reach tail lights. Never buy Tata car for Elders/Tall people.
- Tiny and super slanting rear glass. Looks like forced upon. I don't like so much slanting glass.
- Poor headroom compared to any competition in any segment I bet. Tata makes cars only for short people.
- Front Windshield has to start too late making sure you're blinded by oncoming sun. No blue tint like M&M. Tata/Pratap bose should take couple of classes from Brezza/xuv300 designers.
- Aggressively rising window lines, too low at front making front passengers uncomfortable, too high at the end making it catastrophic.
- Ground clearance unreasonably high to make CG too high eg in Nexon, feels overkill.
- Wheelbase lesser than competition fine. But why make rear seat angle straight to count bigger bootspace number. Coupled with too much inclined glass makes above parcel area very less usable in few cases.
One bad choice for Brezza:
Its paying tax for big vehicle but why didn't they increase length atleast 100mm, would be a differentiator & new segment creator (4.05-4.2m). New brezza is fine, liked its boxy style but disliked rear seat space and price asked for the space offered.
