Overview

The Tata Nexon has dominated the compact SUV segment since its launch, and the latest generation cements that position further. It packs a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating, a strong diesel engine, and a cabin that punches well above its price. The ride quality on bad roads is genuinely impressive, and the infotainment system is one of the best in class. The Nexon isn't perfect — the cabin plastics could be nicer at this price — but as an all-round package, it's hard to beat.

Pros & Cons

  • 5-star Global NCAP safety rating
