Dual airbags and ABS offered on all trims
Safety and After Sales Service – Tata Motors is offering dual front airbags and ABS with EBD on all variants. You also get a seat belt height adjuster standard on the Nexon. We all are pretty much familiar with the sales and service of the automaker. Sales outlets across the country are aplenty and service centres are also in abundance. While service quality levels may not be the best, Tata isn’t that bad either and the company is working their way up.

The Tata Nexon is going to shake up the segment and how!
Verdict – The Tata Nexon has impressed us and it now remains to be seen at what price does the automaker launch the car. The compact SUV comes across as a good looking product that is spacious, practical, comfortable, good to drive and feature loaded. It competes in the tough compact SUV segment, rivalling the Maruti Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport. After driving this car, we think it does have a lot than can give sleepless just nights to its rivals.
