How The Tata Nexon Led The Charts
October saw sales cross the 22,000 unit mark for the Tata Nexon, firmly placing it at the top spot
among bestsellers. This impressive run comes in a time when most models have been struggling due to increased input costs as well as a revised taxation structure. What this means is that with one of the most popular SUVs running these kinds of numbers, how big an overall difference it can make for an automaker toward achieving overall topline success across petrol, diesel, and electric variants.
Why SUV Demand Keeps Rising?
SUVs have increasingly taken over the interest of buyers in India, since these offer favourable seating layout, ample space, and enhanced feature suite. The numbers from October well prove this fact—overall vehicle volume increased primarily driven by SUV models. As long as buyers prefer SUVs, compact models like the Nexon which come with the right size at an affordable price are sure to benefit the most.
Tata Nexon SUV: Engine Options
The Tata Nexon ICE comes with several engine options across its entire range. One can choose between a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol mill or a 1.5-litre diesel motor, both offering manual as well as automatic transmission choices. Also included is a CNG version for those who wish to keep running costs low. Such an array of powertrains ensures that the Nexon appeals to a wide cross-section of the market in both urban and semi-urban markets with their different driving preferences and budget considerations.

The Nexon’s strong market pull is also linked to its equipment levels. Depending on the variant, it offers connected car functions, a large touchscreen infotainment unit, a fully digital instrument display, wireless smartphone support, ventilated front seats, and an upgraded audio setup.
Safety remains a major highlight as well, with six airbags, ESP, traction control, and a 5-star Global NCAP rating included, positioning it among the safer choices in the segment. More recently, it has also received ADAS features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Centering, Forward Collision Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, and High Beam Assist.
