The way I see it the Ecosport engine doesn't suffer from any lag or hesitation at city speeds. The TQ gearbox is beautifully mated to that engine. Also, both the engine and gearbox are more reliable (by design) than the equivalent in Nexon. Nexon has its advantages in lightly more mileage, that slight kick when the turbo spools and replacement cost for AMT transmission. Yes connected car features make you go wow at the beginning but short of the car locator I don't see any of the others as critical. Besides, any decent gps locator can provide the same functionality. You can always add it aftermarket. Most people cant do anything with the engine aftermarket (save for the enthusiast community) and certainly not the gearbox. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Disclaimer - I'm not trying to prove one car is better - just bringing perspective in a discussion that seems to be going to and fro. I myself love the EcoSport a lot but own the Nexon. Both have their USPs (The sheer quality & feel of holding an EcoSport's steering wheel for instance!) and happy customers. One of the toughest things to do is to pick one as choice between these two.

Between the 1.5 TDCi & Revotorq, I'd pick the Tata. Excellent driving dynamics & unbelievable mileage. One significant item where the Nexon is better is practicality. Upward opening hatch, significantly more rear seat space are very important points where its better than the EcoSport. So for those who need these - it makes sense. For example - in my parking slot, I can't park a car that has a sideways opening rear hatch. Simply no space for it. And - hardly anyone buying a sub4m car will be ready to say outright that he/she doesn't care about mileage. ![]() Quote:

Will be interesting to watch over next 2 quarters if the price gradually increases after the initial blow is cushioned. IMO - Tata should have done similar things for the Nexon, Altroz & BSVI Harrier. Absorbed some cost initially for getting good sales to set the ball rolling. Introductory prices is standard play now a days. | |

All this is of course personal preference and I don't expect others to agree. Yes, I understand that India is a mileage conscious country but for me a 1.5L TQ car that weighs >1200kgs and provides 9 to 10 kmpl should be ok. Quote:
Without statistical data I would depend on Engine and gearbox configuration to hedge my bets. NA and TQ at least in my eyes are always going to be more reliable than a Turbo and AMT. | ||||||

| ![]() I am hearing few more incidents of Tata not willing to deliver Nexon BS6. Why bother launch so early when you cannot deliver? Hasn't there been enough testing? |

I believe this has nothing to do with 'testing' but something to do with their diesel BS6 cars. I read a post somewhere on the new Harrier thread which said that its user manual states to use BS6 fuel only. More so, I had called a local dealer 2 days back to check on the face lifted Nexon BS6 model where he stated that the petrol model is available in display and for TD but the diesel is not yet and could take time; may by early March. Additionally, I haven't seen the new Harrier yet for display and TD in two of the nearest TATA showrooms in my area which leads me to think that they might want to deliver BS6 diesel cars only when the BS6 diesel availability starts i.e. April onward. |

Since this will be my first auto vehicle, I'm sure the AMT will live up-to my reasonable expectations. Additionally with age, I'm getting into that sedate driving mode ![]() | ||

| ![]() Guys, today when I spoke to one of the sales rep of Malayalam motors (Vytila, Kochi), he mentioned there isn't any hike in power for Nexon petrol and they have email confirmation from Tata that new Nexon is indeed 110PS itself. However, when I spoke to customer care, they said power had been hiked to 120PS. As per sales person, there are multiple other typos in online broucher. For example, rear defogger is mentioned as standard across all variants. It's not present in the base variant. The question is, how do we confirm the actual power of the engine? Any email address that we can rely on? Between, we friends took test drive of new Nexon and didn't felt any notable difference in power. |

| ![]() I'm in the process of buying a car in CSUV segment. I have finally settled on Nexon XZA+ (O) AMT petrol variant. But I'm surprised to know that Tata hasn't started the delivery of top variant yet. As per dealers I'm in touch with, it may still take 6-8 weeks. Anyone here having any news about this? All TATA dealers are still charging Handling and/or logistic charges in the range of 8k-10k. A dealer in Punjab is further charging a "Possession Tax". Haggle a bit, tell them it is illegal, talk to their customer care and it will be waived off. But I'm still impressed with their nerve to justify it. |

When you say top end petrol was it xz+ or xz+(o)? Last edited by Akshay1234 : 28th February 2020 at 17:29. Reason: editing for readabillity |

I honestly didn't check if it had a sunroof or not since thats the only differentiating factor on the exterior. I was completing my paperwork when this delivery happened so I only had a glimpse of it. I will try to check with my SA and get this info. |
