Among the current lineup of cars available in India, the Tata Nexon stands out as my personal favourite for several compelling reasons. Having recently completed a 4,000 km road trip with the Nexon, I had the opportunity to experience the vehicle in a wide variety of conditions—from highways and city traffic to hilly terrains and rural roads. The car impressed me across the board. First and foremost, the Nexon offers an exceptional balance of performance, comfort, and safety—especially at its price point. It is one of the very few cars in its segment that boasts a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating, which gives immense peace of mind to me and my family. Safety is a priority for me, and Tata has clearly made it a cornerstone of the Nexon's design. The driving dynamics of the Nexon also deserve praise. The turbocharged engine delivers ample power and torque, making highway overtakes effortless, while the suspension setup strikes a great balance between comfort and handling. On my 4,000 km drive, the car remained planted, composed, and fatigue-free—something not every compact SUV manages to achieve over long distances.

My favourite car on sale in India is the Tata Nexon. I appreciate the Nexon because it offers a great balance of style, safety, performance, and affordability. Tata Motors has invested heavily in safety features, and the Nexon’s 5-star Global NCAP rating makes it one of the safest cars in its segment, which is a critical factor for me as a buyer. Additionally, its modern design and premium interiors give it a strong appeal among compact SUVs. The turbocharged petrol and diesel engines provide good performance while maintaining decent fuel efficiency. Overall, the Tata Nexon stands out as a practical, reliable, and value-for-money choice for Indian customers looking for a safe and stylish SUV.

I personally own a Tata Nexon, I like the way Indian manufacturers are evolving their products in terms of safety and functional design, having experienced with Tata, the driving dynamics (ability to handle turns, thanks to Bosch's traction control system), back seat comfort (Recline angle and thigh support) makes Tata Nexon as my favorite car. The FE figures are decent in highway (18 Kmpl). My age old parent can take long drives without much complaints with optimal suspension setup. The cost of service is not expensive as compared to European and Japanese cars. I thoroughly enjoy long drives with Nexon and for my tall frame the car provides all the comfort. I will recommend Tata Nexon any day to all those middle class owners.
