Pros

  • Looks better than before. Facelift ups the premium quotient
  • Seats are well bolstered
  • More power available on the diesel

Cons

  • There's a hint of body roll
  • Low on power at lower rpms
  • Understeers when you take a corner

Verdict

Mahindra is offering some new colours on the XUV500 - Crimson Red and Mystic copper, both of which we did not get to see; but the Crimson Red looked promising on the presentation board. Mahindra will hope the refresh brings its customer base back into M&M showrooms and more importantly, back to driving the once popular XUV500.

Pros

  • The Nexon offers a refreshed, sharp design with modern aesthetics, including LED lighting and stylish alloy wheels.
  • Packed with tech features like 10.25-inch digital displays, a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, and voice command for in-car functions, it’s a tech-forward SUV.
  • It boasts a strong safety profile with a 5-star Global NCAP rating, 6 airbags, ESP, ABS, and hill start assist.

Cons

  • Fit and finish could be improved, with issues like uneven panel gaps and awkwardly positioned USB ports.
  • Space management is a bit lacking, especially for taller occupants in the rear due to the sloping roofline, and the front console can feel cramped for drivers.
  • The manual gearbox feels notchy and can be cumbersome in city driving, with long clutch travel and rough gear shifts

Verdict

The Tata Nexon is a well-rounded subcompact SUV with excellent tech features, safety, and driving dynamics. It’s a great value-for-money option, especially for those seeking a feature-rich and safe SUV. However, the automatic variants are the better choice for smoother driving, especially in urban environments.
