Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda City
- Spacious cabin. Rear seat kneeroom rivals cars from a segment above.
- Best in segment interior quality
- Comfortable ride quality
- Updated exterior makes it more tempting
- ADAS standard in multiple variants
Tata Nexon
- Futuristic design with interesting details: LED daytime running lamps and tail lamps with animations, 16-inch alloy wheels, and full-LED headlamps. Gives it great road presence.
- Has every imaginable feature: panoramic sunroof, front seat ventilation, 360° camera, leatherette upholstery. Feels premium.
- Impressive infotainment package: 10.25-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch driver’s display and a brilliant JBL sound system.
- Available with petrol and diesel engines, both offered with automatic transmissions.

Honda City
- Lacks some ‘wow’ features like ventilated seats, powered driver seat, branded stereo
- Diesel motor is now discontinued
- Tight rear seat headroom
Tata Nexon
- Interior storage space is poor. No cupholders, lack of space for phones/wallets hampers everyday usability.
- Fit and finish could be improved in the interior. Misaligned panels take away from the experience.
