      • “Average on petrol during local travel cited as ~₹15” (wording unclear whether this is cost or consumption basis)

Service experience (major part of the review)

Pros

  • A minor issue was handled early on:
    • Part worth ₹7000–₹8000 allegedly replaced free after a tyre hit a drain
  • Owner expects CNG service to be manageable
  • Right now, only immediate expense mentioned: washer fluid (~₹60)

Cons (repeated complaints)

  • Service center setup:
    • Kotputli service is via franchise
    • Main showroom/service is in Jaipur
    • Owner says this creates limitations
  • Parts availability + technician knowledge
    • Example: installing mud flaps
      • Technicians said required nuts were missing
      • Owner had to bring them (“Chinese nuts” comment)
    • Owner had to involve the showroom manager; after phone calls, work progressed but was frustrating
  • Professionalism / trust
    • Coordination issues: sometimes asked to talk to the showroom or buy parts outside
    • Owner says he lacks confidence that jobs will be completed properly and on time
  • Oil change / free service timing
    • Owner mentions no oil change yet because the free service period is still ongoing (service costs may come later, not confirmed)

Comparisons made vs Maruti Suzuki (Brezza/other)

  • Owner initially considered Maruti Suzuki alternatives, including Brezza
  • Reasons given for choosing Nexon over Maruti:
    • Acknowledged Maruti’s cabin feel and reliability familiarity
    • Owner felt Nexon matches the “comfort/cabin feel” in its segment for his use
    • Nexon ground clearance + suspension were needed for rough roads (strong emphasis)
    • Concern that Maruti has a lack of “feel-upgrade” despite paying a premium
      • Discussed as interior feel not matching the price jump
  • Maruti cabin feel topic:
    • Owner mentions “interior feel is similar across Maruti models” (e.g., Swift/Baleno vibe), not a clear premium upgrade feeling

Specific “quirks” / fit-finish criticisms (narrator + owner)

  • Interior/exterior detailing issues
    • Missing feature in his variant:
      • Narrator says Nexon is missing a stop-start button found in other cars
      • Owner points to an empty slot area and says it looks weird
      • Dirt/soil gets stuck there and is hard to clean
    • Panel gaps / bumper misalignment
      • Narrator points out bumper fit gaps as common in Tata
      • Narrator suggests it may “save paint costs” by acting as protection
  • Reverse gear:
    • Sound and occasional engagement difficulty mentioned (as comparison)

Key stance on reliability / “ownership risk”

  • Owner’s stance (current period):
    • Says there is no frustration yet after ~3 months / ~6000 km
  • Narrator’s counterpoint:
    • Shares anecdotal stories of other Tata owners’ issues (not confirmed for this specific car), such as:
      • EV not reaching home after escalations (battery/handbrake condition—claimed)
      • Battery discharge leading to push-start and embarrassment (claimed)
      • A service story where the car would engage only 3rd gear (claimed)
  • Conclusion from narrator:
    • Problems may surface later; owner is “lucky/okay” so far

Stepney (spare wheel) removal argument (important comparison)

  • Narrator criticizes Brezza for removing the stepney (spare wheel)
    • Argues inflators can’t fix a cut/burst tyre
  • Strong anecdote:
    • On a trip (Swift CNG), tyre burst at about ~100 km/h
    • No spare wheel → reported as unsafe, with cost/time issues (₹5600 charged for tyre + waiting time)
  • Narrator’s takeaway:
    • Spare wheel is important for safety, especially on long/odd-hour travel

Pros vs Cons (as conveyed in the subtitles)

Pros

  • Good comfort and confidence for rough roads
  • Ground clearance/suspension suited to the owner’s route
  • No major functional issues yet in the first months
  • Some free/warranty support experienced
  • Acceptable CNG efficiency on highway conditions (~25 claimed)

Cons

  • Weak service experience in smaller towns (franchise model, technician capability, parts availability)
  • Accessories installation can be troublesome
  • Fit & finish / usability quirks (missing button/slot, cleaning difficulty, panel gaps)
  • Reliability concerns are raised via narrator’s anecdotes (not confirmed for this specific car)

Overall verdict / recommendation

Mixed recommendation:

The Tata Nexon CNG appears to be working well for the owner so far—especially regarding comfort and handling rough roads—but the video strongly warns that service quality and parts/accessory availability in smaller towns can significantly affect the ownership experience.

If you live far from strong Tata service support, the reviewer suggests considering that risk before buying.
