Our take on this /// Verdict
The Tata Nexon Dark XZ Plus is a compelling package that blends style, safety, and performance. While it has its drawbacks, such as inconsistent fit and finish, and some cost-cutting measures like the absence of rear disc brakes and a request sensor on the co-passenger door, it remains a fun car to drive. The diesel engine is particularly impressive with its mid-range grunt, although it suffers from turbo lag and a vocal engine. The ride quality is fantastic, handling is good, and the high-speed stability is commendable. The Dark Edition adds a premium touch with its black accents and dual-tone bumpers, making it a visually appealing option. However, potential buyers should be aware of the quality inconsistencies and the lackluster petrol engine.
Price
The Tata Nexon Dark XZ Plus comes with a price tag that reflects its premium features. The ex-showroom prices start at around 12.45 lakh for the petrol manual variant, 13.17 lakh for the petrol AMT, and 14.29 lakh for the diesel manual. On-road prices, including all taxes and other costs, are approximately 13.20 lakh for the petrol manual, 13.92 lakh for the petrol AMT, and 15.04 lakh for the diesel manual. These prices position the Nexon Dark XZ Plus as a competitive option in the compact SUV segment, offering a balance of features, safety, and style that justifies the cost.

The pricing for the Tata Nexon XZ Plus Dark Edition starts at around Rs 10.40 lakh for the petrol variant, making it an attractive option for those looking for a stylish and feature-packed compact SUV without breaking the bank.

In terms of market competition, the Tata Nexon XZ Plus Dark Edition competes against other popular compact SUVs in India such as the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger, and Nissan Magnite. The Dark Editions unique cosmetic features and advanced technology have helped it stand out in this competitive segment. I believe the Nexons blend of style, safety, and performance makes it a strong contender.

Tata Motors has highlighted the safety features of the Nexon XZ Plus Dark Edition, which includes 6 airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with EBD, and a 360-degree camera with blind view monitor in higher spec variants. This emphasis on safety has contributed to the Nexons 5-star safety rating in Global NCAP’s crash tests. I believe this focus on safety is a significant selling point for the vehicle.

The Tata Nexon XZ Plus Dark Edition is available in both petrol and diesel engine options, with the 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 118bhp and 170Nm of torque, and the 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 108bhp and 260Nm of torque. The transmission options include a six-speed manual gearbox and an optional AMT unit. I think the variety in engine and transmission options caters well to different driving preferences.

The Tata Nexon XZ Plus Dark Edition, introduced in July 2021, has been a hit in the Indian market with its sleek and chiselled exterior design, featuring a dual-barrel projector headlamp setup and a large ‘tri-arrow’ themed grille.

I think this edition has successfully blended style and technology, making it a compelling choice for buyers.
