Tata Nexon Variants: What Each Step Up Actually Buys
The Nexon range spans ₹6,85,000 from the Smart (₹7,37,000) to the Fearless+ PS 1.5D AMT (₹14,22,000). Our value pick is the Creative 1.2T. At roughly ₹10 lakh (about ₹1 lakh over Pure+), it lands the full everyday kit — 360-degree camera with blind view monitor, auto climate control, cruise control, push-button start and 16-inch alloys — on top of Pure+'s 10.25-inch touchscreen. Feature-per-rupee peaks here, before the sunroof and automatic premiums kick in.
