There’s a new crossover in town and it has set its sights on rivals such as the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and the Ford EcoSport, it also wants to take on other crossovers such as the Honda WR-V and the Hyundai i20 Active. While we stacked the Nexon up against the compact SUVs from Maruti and Ford a month back (Tata Nexon compact SUV comparison), let’s take a look at how it fares against the other end of the spectrum - the crossovers. For that, we will have to pit it against the popular Honda WR-V and the Hyundai i20 Active.
Dimensions
All three cars featured here measure under four metres in length. The Honda WRV is the longest of the trio followed by the Nexon and the i20 Active, both measuring at 3995mm. While the i20 Active may appear small on paper, it has the largest wheelbase at 2570mm. The WR-V comes second followed by the Tata Nexon. The Nexon, however, is the widest car in the segment followed by the i20 Active and the WR-V. The crossover from Honda has the largest boot at 363-litres. The i20 Active has the smallest at 285-litres. The Nexon takes the middle ground by offering a useable 350-litres.
Engines
All three crossovers are offered with both petrol and diesel engine options. Sadly, none of them offers an automatic gearbox at present. However, Tata has confirmed that the Nexon will get a 6-speed AMT before April 2018.
