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 Kia Syros

Very thoughtful design with tons of space and solid powertrain options
Loaded with every feature you can expect from rear seat ventilation to Level 2 ADAS

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 Kia Syros

Will get quite pricey, top variants are 22 lakhs on-road!
Design is very divisive, function over form mantra is followed here

All We Know About Next Generation Nexon AKA Tata Project Garud

Slated for a 2027 launch, the next-generation Tata Nexon, internally codenamed Project Garud, represents a major generational shift rather than a simple facelift. The comprehensive redesign will introduce a heavily updated platform, a modernized exterior, a premium tech-focused cabin featuring Level 2 ADAS, and continued petrol and CNG powertrains.
