Whoa! That was super close to the line. Despite the minor power deficit, it was the Tata Nexon that managed to cross the line first in the 0-100kmph run and that too, just by around 0.2 seconds! A very similar gap can be seen in both the roll-on acceleration runs in third and fourth gear, where the Nexon managed to beat the XUV300.

But in the real world, both cars offer more than satisfactory performance to keep you smiling. Just a point to note is that the XUV 3XO’s clutch is a bit sensitive and it can tend to stall at slower speeds.
