Overview
The Nexon built the compact SUV segment in India and is still the car rivals measure themselves against. The 1.2-litre turbo petrol makes 118 bhp and 170 Nm across a broad plateau, which means the car feels quicker around town than the specification sheet suggests and asks for a downshift far less often on ghat roads than the naturally aspirated alternatives.
Structural safety is the second pillar. A five-star Global NCAP adult score with six airbags fitted from the base variant upward is still more than several costlier cars offer, and the tall, short-overhang shape hides a wheelbase long enough to give adults proper knee room. The 350-litre boot is close to hatchback size, which is the one packaging compromise of a small car with a big footprint.
The trade-offs are refinement and economy. The three-cylinder engine is gruff at idle, wind and tyre noise arrive early on the motorway, and the seven-speed dual-clutch, while quick, is less polished in stop-start traffic than a torque converter. Claimed 17 kmpl becomes 11-12 kmpl in a city, so the running-cost case only holds if you keep it on expressways.

This sample catalogue places the turbo-petrol Nexon between ₹7.40 lakh and ₹10.49 lakh ex-showroom, Delhi NCR, depending on variant and gearbox.
What mileage does the Nexon return?
The claimed figure is 17 kmpl. Real-world reports cluster around 11-12 kmpl in the city and 15-16 kmpl on the highway with the air conditioning running.
Is the Nexon a five-star car?
Yes. The structure carries a five-star Global NCAP adult score and six airbags are fitted from the base variant in this listing.
Nexon or Punch: which should I buy?
The Punch costs less and rides over the same roads with equal ease, but the Nexon’s turbo gives it highway ability the smaller car simply does not have. If you use expressways weekly, the extra lakhs are worth it.
