What is it?
The 2018 Tata Nexon XT is a stylish and extremely rugged small SUV vehicle, with an extroverted bodywork and a roofline similar to that of a coupe. Therefore, although it is not particularly attractive to look at, it has its upsides. Overall, it seems to try to impress too hard, which is not always a great thing.
The look
On the inside, it has a set of very comfortable and generous seats. The entertainment package is solid, while its clutch is rather light. The overall space in the cabin is impressive even in the second row of seats. For a city drive, tune it to City mode to keep things easy and enjoyable.

Safety wise, the car has ABS with EBD, front and rear fog lamps, and two airbags.
On harder surfaces like bad roads filled with holes, the Nexon has no problems. It has a great suspension, while its chunky wheels and tires do a great job along the way and look urban as they do it. The steering is not too much assisted, but it could use a more muscular wheel.
Price
The price of the Tata Nexon 2018 is north of Rs. 6.46 Lakhs, depending on the model and the package.
