The facelifted Nexon is up against three of the most popular SUVs of its segment

Tata Nexon vs Rivals

The 2023 Tata Nexon has been launched recently and it gets features that can challenge cars from a segment above. But in its own segment of subcompact SUVs, its biggest rivals are the Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza and Hyundai Venue. Let’s see how the new Nexon fares against the three other popular subcompact SUVs.

Dimensions

Parameters	Tata Nexon	Hyundai Venue	Kia Sonet	Maruti Brezza
Length	3995mm	3995mm	3995mm	3995mm
Width	1804mm	1770mm	1790mm	1790mm
Height	1620mm	1617mm	1642mm	1685mm
Wheelbase	2498mm	2500mm	2500mm	2500mm

Regarding dimensions, all four SUVs have the same length and more or less the same wheelbase. But, the new Nexon is the widest option in the market, and the Brezza is the tallest, which gives it its traditional SUV look.

Powertrain

Specifications	Tata Nexon		Hyundai Venue & Kia Sonet			Maruti Brezza
Engine	1.2-litre turbo-petrol	1.5-litre diesel	1.2-litre petrol	1-litre turbo-petrol	1.5-litre diesel	1.5-litre petrol	1.5-litre petrol + CNG
Power	120PS	115PS	83PS	120PS	116PS	103PS	88PS
Torque	170Nm	260Nm	Up to 115Nm	172Nm	250Nm	137Nm	121Nm
Transmission	5MT/ 6MT/ 6AMT/ 7DCT	6MT/ 6AMT	5MT	6iMT/ 7DCT (Sonet) 6MT/ 7DCT (Venue)	6iMT/ 6AT (Sonet) 6MT (Venue)	5MT/ 6AT	5MT

There are a lot of engine options available in this segment, and yet not a whole lot of variation. The Nexon, Venue and Sonet offer turbo-petrol engines which produce the same output figures. You also get the option of a similarly sized and tuned diesel engine with these models for that extra torque. Meanwhile, the Maruti Brezza offers the most powerful naturally aspirated engine, and if you want a lower running cost, then it can also be had with a factory-fitted CNG kit with a claimed fuel efficiency of 25.51km/kg.

In terms of features, the Tata Nexon facelift offers more than all three SUVs. It gets a bigger infotainment than the Hyundai Venue and Maruti Brezza and comes with a proper digital driver’s display. It also has more premium comfort and convenience features, but when it comes to safety, the Venue edges ahead with its ADAS features. However, it is important to note that the pre-facelift Nexon scored a 5-star safety rating as per the older GNCAP crash test and the new one should do well in the BNCAP as well.

Price

Tata Nexon	Hyundai Venue	Kia Sonet	Maruti Brezza
Rs 8.10 lakh to Rs 15.50 lakh	Rs 7.77 lakh to Rs 13.48 lakh	Rs 7.79 lakh to Rs 14.89 lakh	Rs 8.29 lakh to Rs 14.14 lakh
