Exclusive | Tata Nexon begins FY25 at slow pace, not among top 10 selling cars in April

The Tata Nexon started FY25 at a rather slow pace if we consider the high standards it has set in terms of volumes, driving out of the list of 10 best-selling cars in India in April.

According to India Today's sources, the Tata Nexon was the 11th largest-selling car in India in April at 11,168 units. This is quite low compared to the average monthly wholesales of 14,308 units garnered by the SUV in FY24.

The Tata Nexon has been the top-selling SUV in India over the past three years, clocking volumes of 171,697 units in FY24, 172,139 units in FY23 and 124,130 units in FY22.

Priced between Rs 8.15 lakh and Rs 15.80 lakh (ex-showroom), the Tata Nexon rivals the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and the new Mahindra XUV 3XO.

The Tata Nexon uses a Revotron 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, which delivers 120PS and 170Nm. It has multiple transmission options, including 5-speed MT, 6-speed MT, 6-speed AMT and 7-speed DCA. There is also a Revotorq 1.5-litre diesel engine, producing 115PS and 260Nm. It can be paired either with a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed AMT.

The popular SUV also has an electric version, the Tata Nexon.ev, available in Medium Range and Long Range variants. While the Tata Nexon.ev Medium Range has a claimed range of 325km on a single full charge, the same is 465km for the Tata Nexon.ev Long Range. The claimed range is as per MIDC cycle.

The Tata Nexon.ev price starts at Rs 14.49 lakh and goes up to Rs 19.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The vehicle rivals the Mahindra XUV400 and the MG ZS EV.

Like the Tata Safari and the Tata Harrier, the Tata Nexon is also a five-star safety-rated SUV, scoring high points in both adult safety and child safety at Global NCAP.

The Tata Nexon boasts safety features like six airbags, 360-degree surround view system with front parking sensors, blind view monitor, electronic stability control (ESC) and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
