    Proper family car 

    The driving experience is very fantastic and the gearbox and this car made for the family car and is a proper family car and the gearshift is very smooth. If someone wants well packages car with the safety, comfort, performance, space and all then Tata Nexon is a perfect choice but if anyone wants only performance oriented car then this car is not made for. With good pickup the drive is easy and for city the mileage i got is 11 to 14 kmpl and for the highway 14 to 18 kmpl.
