-   -   Tata Nexon : Official Review (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/official-new-car-reviews/191396-tata-nexon-official-review-78.html)

I think the best one has to be White dual tone . It looks more mature and premium and not that flashy at the same time. The rear with every color is odd ball with that White colored X which makes it look more of a hatchback and a turn off for many as it seems kind of a in your face rear.

With White dual tone the Grey ceramic strip at the back tones it down considerably and gives the car a much more mature and premium look. The Grey color roof blends well with the grey color X at the back making it part of the roof. It's the White strip at the rear which put me off from buying the Red dual tone as there seem to be too many colors messing up the rear. The Grey X at the back also makes the car look bigger and bulkier from the rear thanks to just a single color at the back along with White.

That is really horrendous. Wonder what they were thinking!

The colour combos and the theme is very loud and childish. But I must say Nexon carries bold colours very well. Because of the quirky style, one can play around with colours and stickers/stripes and in the end, it just suits the car. For me, the only other car with such a trait is the Swift.

OT: Other day I saw a shiny white Nexon with a piano black roof wrap. The wrap started at the A pillar and extended till the C pillar. Must say it looked gorgeous.

Apparently, this isn't an official TaMo release as perceived by many. This has been got customised by a fan in Mumbai as a tribute to the MI IPL T20 franchise.

Look at the work on the graphics on the rear wheel arch at 03:34 in the video, drop dead giveaway that this isn't a factory fit, if you are to see the car in person.

Doesn’t look a lot like an official IPL version, but, in the pictures shared by RavenAvi Sir in the previous page, the car seems to be parked in a TATA Motors dealership. Why would a fan made car be parked inside the dealership?

Probably something done at dealership level like the one that was done before some Rajni movie few months back?

I'm picking up a Grey XZ+ Diesel next week. My dealer informed me that the vehicle has arrived at the showroom and its being prepared for RTO and delivery. After reading through posts here, I quickly checked if Android Auto works; It does.

Anything else specific to check during delivery ?
Also, the spare wheel is also an alloy wheel ?

Android auto has worked flawlessly so far and I use original mobile data cable all the time . I have literally got addicted to Android auto and hardly feel like driving cars without Android Auto . Spare wheel is a steel one.

Apologies for such a late reply but I just noticed something in the pictures you shared.

Did you purchase the car from Pahwa Autoworld in Safdarjung Enclave ?

Yes indeed. I dealt with one young chap there named Ankur and then his senior Abhishek. Both of them were pretty helpful.

What you saw on the test drive vehicle is very close to be true mileage. It gives around 8 to 10 in city conditions and not more than 14 on long drives. Im talking about petrol with ac on all the time.

We too bought our Nexon from here. That is why the picture felt familiar. I dealt with Piyush. Very helpful and cooperative.

Nexon XZ+(P) Update: 1300kms


100% City Driving with 99% AC on.

1.The engine now feels like it has opened up. Turbo lag has reduced and the BEAST feels sprightly even in CITY mode. The steering feel along with ride and handling balance is superb. It feels a little bit stiff on bad roads at the rear. But a little stiffness is better than dancing Rear anyday.

2. The brakes are superb, having great bite.
About the modes:-
-ECO: Used it in the initial days. Hardly use this lethargic boring mode now.
-City: Use it usually in traffic as in sport mode the A-Pedal becomes too sensitive to inputs.
-Sport: A BIG BIG SMILE :D

3.The clutch is light and also super sharp at the engaging point, resulting in jerky transitions. But soon you get used to it (though it took me longer than usual. However, I still struggle at times)

4.Reason for Point number 3 according to me:
While releasing the c-pedal, just before the clutch is about to engage, the rpm needle rises to about 1k rpm and then dips after the clutch gets engaged fully. This dip in rpm after the clutch engages causes the jerk. As long as the c-pedal is released slowly, the transition is smooth. Fast action of c-pedal release causes jerk.

4. The mileage has improved but marginally. Last tankful gave me 9.07kmpl (10.2 on MID. Even dipping below 10kmpl at some occasions). This time the MID is constantly above 10kmpl despite traffic (10.3 at present). I am personally not bothered about mileage. I JUST ENJOY MY BEAST.

This happened while applying only slight pressure to wipe this area. So owners kindly be careful. :Frustrati

As the car remains parked in the sun, this ís the ''Jugaad'' I came up with for the front glass lol:



At the end, the BEAST itself

Correcting myself. It's New India Assurance that has the cashless tie-up. And their quotation is Rs.20,790 with added Passenger Cover of 1 lakh each for 5 persons (Rs.19,846 without it). This is against Rs.38,000 quoted in the price list - a saving of over Rs.18,000.

Guys, need help, Searched this thread, couldnt find a similar issue.
My friend's XZ+ Nexon Diesel has a peculiar problem ever since it has been delivered 4 weeks back. During a smooth cruise, the car suddenly goes into limp mode and the infotainment, lights and AC gets powered off. This has happened at least 3 times in the last 4 weeks. There is no MIL lamp on dashboard. Each time, the car has to be cranked 3 to 4 times to get it started again. The dealership ( True Sai works- Hosur) initially said the ECU is faulty and took it for an ECU change (2 days in the workshop); that however did not solve the issue. The car has clocked 2500 kms till date. Today in desperation after another instance of the car going into limp mode during a smooth cruise, we have left the car at the service station. They say it will be sent to Salem for further inspection. Even once the car couldn't start after being parked for 2 hours; there seemed no power to crank the engine too. Sad, that this brand new vehicle is having all there issues. Does any one have a similar story to tell? Any leads on what is wrong?

Really sad to hear this experience from a new car. I hope someone here helps you identify the issue from their experience. Are you given a standby car till then? If not, do demand for one.
