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 Renault Duster

212 mm ground clearance and tough build with skid plates and reinforced protection.
Higher variants include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, Google built-in infotainment, and extensive 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.
