Pros & Cons Comparison

Things We Like in Tata Nexon

Holds 5-star ratings from both Bharat NCAP (2024) and Global NCAP (2024), scoring 29.41/32 and 32.22/34 respectively for adult occupant protection.
The 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCA) is a notably sophisticated transmission for this price band, featuring wet clutch technology with active cooling, machine learning adaptation, and a self-healing mechanism.

Things We Like in Tata Punch

Smartly designed facelift make it look much better than before, all around 5 Star BNCAP
New 120 PS turbo engine should significantly help with its sluggish nature

Things We Don't Like in Tata Nexon

Knee airbags are not available on any variant, a gap that is flagged in the Bharat NCAP safety equipment listing.
The CNG variant is available only with a 6-speed manual transmission system. No automatic option exists for buyers who want both CNG running costs and a gearbox-free driving experience.

Things We Don't Like in Tata Punch

Being a mass seller, we expect service issues to be handled
