Did a 10 minute check to see if everything looked alright and was pretty satisfied. No scratches. Tyres were dirty. The Odometer had 104 kms on it. The Executive who accompanied me informed me that they get their cars delivered to their main yard at Nelamangala and drive it down by road from there. I'm still a little skeptical on that. Anybody who has taken delivery of cars from Prerana, Lalbagh can confirm this?

When we took delivery back in Jan from Prerana, ODO was at 50 KMS.

Not an exact figure though, just a hint for you.

Tata said that the passenger car segment declined by 4 per cent, while the UV segment grew by 223 per cent, supporting the strong customer liking for SUVs at present.

Thanks a lot for the update but i already know these numbers from the exact source you have highlighted. By numbers what i meant was the total number of Nexon's sold in the month of March and is there any hike in numbers for Nexon or not. Thanks anyway and cheers.

Nope! it did not work. It asks whether you want to connect and after you click yes, it says car is not in park mode, whatever that means.

I will give you that, you have set difficult benchmarks for others to match!

My Day 3 observations with Nexon is that the Eco mode is better in buper to bumper drive inside the city. and the Sport mode is useful when you are stuck on an incline on the flyover. It helps in controlling the extent of rollback

One problem I did face was that the audio system completely froze at one point. It was showing call updates if you called from the phone directly for example, but it did not play any music or register BT settings etc. Since other controls were working, I went to settings and did factory reset and then it worked fine. I hope this does not happen again.

I do not think the vents are fake! when you press the button on the central console for blower direction, these vents throw cool air!

I don't know if others have observed this and other Nexon owners can corroborate perhaps?

Have you tried using the hand brakes and checking the Android Auto? I'm guessing it will prove your music system that the car is in "park mode".

Yes, you are right the vents are not fake, it does blow air through it.

Your car looks simply superb.

I bought a Nexon in February and I did receive a call last week from TATA Motors customer service asking for my experience, starting from buying the car and to the driving experience from it. They did have lot of questions, with ratings to be choosen and answered from. In few of the questions I had given rating below 8 in regards to the experience I had during my TD and booking period. To my surprise I got a call from the Delear (URS KAR, Mysore) the next day and they requested me to visit thier showroom and give them the exact reasons for the low rating.

Well!! I do own a Maruti Suzuki Ignis and the call from TATA Motors and the questions which they had asked was almost on par with Maruti's customer service call.

Yes, all my attempts at connecting Android Auto were in handbrake applied position. I guess I will have to wait till the first service for addressing it. I have used original cables as well.

Tata sold 4405 Nexons in the month of March '18, as against 4168 Nexons in February '18, which is an increase of 6% MOM.

Tata Motors has launched 2 advertisements for Nexon in IPL Theme, one is titled Tata Nexon Cheerleaders Ad, and the other is Tata Nexon Powerplay Ad. Surprisingly, Etna Orange colour is also prominently seen in one of the ads.

Guys i am wondering about the model which was launched just few weeks ago. Its the XZ model and looking at the price bracket and the difference between the top end ZX+ and the XZ model which is about 80K between the two so i am thinking does it make sense to go for ZX model or ZX+is still a better choice considering the set of extra equipment we get by shelling out 80K more than the XZ variant. If one has to choose between the two which is worth buying and is the price hike from XZ to ZX+ justified. Hoping to get some replies soon.

Go for XZ+ without hesitation . We just concluded a detailed analysis on our owners WhatsApp group post price hike and launch of XZ variant as to which variant commands the VFM tag. It's either the XM or XZ+ which were VFM at launch and continue to reign supreme with that title even today.

Posting on behalf of a friend who is not a member here. I have suggested him to go for Petrol based on his usage but he needs opinion from a wider audience

I am driving a Swift Diesel 2008 model, she is serving me well but I feel I need an upgrade and planning to let her go soon.
I have done my research and finalized on Tata Nexon but I am totally confused whether I should go for Petrol or Diesel.
So I need some opinions from members based on the below criteria:

I am in my late 30s and I just need a comfortable ride quality with hassle free ownership.
Very limited City usage, may be a few days in a month for office commute and occasional weekend drives (Monthly usage < 1000 kms)

In favour of Petrol variant:
1. Price difference between Petrol and Diesel variant
2. I am planning to keep it for at least 5 years and based on my usage I think Petrol will save at least 20-40k per year (including fuel and maintenance cost)
3. Not sure of Government's decision on the future of Diesel vehicle

In favour of Diesel variant:
1. Most of the reviews are in favour of Diesel variant, didn't see a lot of promising reviews on Petrol variant.
2. Also from a few online sources I got to know that Petrol variant has very less mileage (If someone who is using a Petrol Nexon can confirm this)

Mods: I am posting here and not in What Car section as the car has to be Tata Nexon. Please move it to an appropriate thread if this post does not belong here.
