                      Pros & Cons

                      • Pros
                      • Cons
                      • Kia Carens

                        • Looks unique, in a good way.
                        • Good presence with generous exterior dimensions
                        • Lots of practical elements integrated into the cabin
                        • Available in 6- and 7-seater configurations
                        • Turbo-petrol and diesel engine options
                        • Automatic transmission option with both engines

                        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.
                      • Kia Carens

                        • Missing some premium features
                        • Looks more like an MPV, than an SUV
                        • 16-inch wheels look small on the overall large side profile

                        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.
