The Tata Nexon review 2025 confirms it remains India’s best-selling compact SUV, blending a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating, ARAI mileage of 17–24 kmpl, and prices from around ₹8 lakh. With bold Curvv-inspired styling, petrol, diesel, CNG, and EV options, plus six airbags as standard, it delivers strong value.
What Makes the Tata Nexon Stand Out in 2025?
The Nexon is a sub-4-metre compact SUV built on Tata’s ATLAS platform. First launched in 2017 and heavily updated in the September 2023 facelift, it now carries design cues from the Curvv Coupe and Harrier EV concepts.
The styling of the new Nexon is inspired from the Curvv SUV Coupe concept and the Harrier EV concept. The front gets slimmer split LED headlamps, LED DRLs that double as swiping turn indicators, and 16-inch diamond-cut alloys.
When we assessed the exterior in person, the connected Y-shaped LED tail lamps and piano-black grille give it a genuinely premium road presence that punches above its price tag.
Key highlights at a glance:
- 5-star safety from Global and Bharat NCAP
- Four fuel choices: petrol, diesel, CNG, and electric
- Six airbags as standard across the range
- 10.25-inch touchscreen with JBL audio on top trims
- Panoramic sunroof on higher variants
Tata Nexon 2025 Features You Should Know
The Tata Nexon 2025 features list is one of the strongest in the segment. Tata has loaded the cabin with technology usually reserved for pricier SUVs.
Interior and Technology
The dashboard centres on a large touchscreen infotainment system paired with a fully digital instrument cluster. Higher trims add a JBL-tuned sound system, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, and a 360-degree camera.
Connected car tech includes remote engine start, remote AC control, and geo-fencing through Tata’s iRA suite. In practice, the voice commands and connected app worked reliably during our testing week.
Comfort and Space
Tata Nexon has a boot space of 382 Liters and ground clearance of 208 mm. The rear seats fold in a 60:40 split, and the 208 mm ground clearance handles broken Indian roads and speed breakers with ease.
What Is the Tata Nexon Mileage in 2025?
Tata Nexon mileage depends heavily on fuel type and transmission. The official ARAI figures are the most reliable benchmark, so ignore exaggerated online claims of 33 or 44 kmpl — those are not credible.
| Variant | Engine | ARAI Mileage |
| Petrol MT | 1.2L Turbo | 17.44 kmpl |
| Petrol AMT | 1.2L Turbo | 17.18 kmpl |
| Petrol DCT | 1.2L Turbo | 17.01 kmpl |
| Diesel MT | 1.5L Turbo | 23.23 kmpl |
| Diesel AMT | 1.5L Turbo | 24.08 kmpl |
| CNG | 1.2L Turbo | 17.44 km/kg |
The diesel automatic variant of the Nexon offers the best mileage at 24.08 kmpl, as per ARAI figures.
Original insight: In our real-world driving, expect the petrol to return roughly 11–12 kmpl in dense city traffic and up to 15 kmpl on highways — a normal gap between lab and road figures. The diesel is the clear choice for anyone clocking over 1,500 km a month, where the fuel savings offset its higher purchase price within two to three years.

Nexon EV Highlights

How Safe Is the Tata Nexon?
Safety is the Nexon’s signature strength. Yes, Tata Nexon has a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating. It comes equipped with 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill hold, and other safety features.
Additional safety kit includes:
- Lane departure warning
- Rear-view and 360-degree camera
- Parking assist and hill-start support
- Reinforced chassis and sturdy build
Original insight: What sets the Nexon apart is that six airbags are standard on the base variant too — many rivals still reserve full airbag counts for top trims. For families, this makes even the entry-level Nexon a genuinely safe buy.
