Tata Nexon (CNG vs Petrol) — real-world mileage/average test on the Delhi–Mumbai expressway route, including mixed city traffic and expressway cruising.

Key Test Setup / Methodology (as described)

  • Both tanks full (petrol + CNG), with AC kept on full time due to intense heat.
  • Trip plan
    • Go one side on CNG
    • Come back on petrol (switch during the drive)
    • Route included:
      • Delhi city traffic
      • Faridabad bypass
      • Delhi–Mumbai Expressway
      • Return sections
  • Claimed focus on “tank-to-tank” mileage, not just infotainment/instant readings.
  • Driving approach: largely stayed within road-legal speeds to mirror real-time usage.
  • Noted that traffic jams reduce the average.

Main Features Mentioned (Beyond Mileage)

Power / Drive Feel

  • Driver claims “no shortage of power”, with quick braking.
  • Turbo is said to be engaged on higher-speed sections, with strong power delivery.

Comfort

  • AC effectiveness praised, even in hot weather.
  • Seats and cushioning praised; driver height adjustment mentioned.
  • Cabin insulation: low external noise with windows closed.

Ride Quality

  • Suspension described as balanced (not overly bouncy, not too hard).
  • Ground clearance ~200 mm, with good handling over potholes/breakers.

Infotainment & Tech

  • Touchscreen and music system praised: smooth, no hang, clear visuals.
  • Digital speed described as accurate.

Drive Efficiency Notes

  • Holds RPM well in 6th gear, keeping turbo/power available during cruising.
  • Small gear-change lag on CNG compared to petrol (petrol described as smoother/instant).

Mileage / Average Results (Numerical)

Petrol (return: expressway + partial city)

  • On-instrument average during drive: ~19.3–19.7
  • Expected expressway average: ~21–22
  • After ~50 km return: average reached ~21.8
  • Later cluster readings: around 22.1, then 22.5–22.7 briefly
  • Tank-to-tank petrol result (end of test):
    • 125.5 km on 5.97 liters
    • Implied mileage: ~21 km/l
    • Driver notes meter showed ~21.2
    • Emphasis placed on matching between meter and tank-to-tank data

CNG (main CNG leg)

  • CNG consumption milestone: roughly ~90–100 km on CNG
  • Tank-to-tank CNG result near end:
    • Car ran ~117.7 km on CNG
    • CNG filled: ~3.4 kg
    • Stated average: ~34 km/kg
    • Driver calls it “mind-blowing,” expecting it should still remain roughly 30+ km/kg even with fluctuations

Pros (as stated)

  • Very strong real-world mileage, especially on CNG (~34 km/kg claimed).
  • Good power/performance even while prioritizing efficiency.
  • Accurate digital speed and consistent mileage vs tank-to-tank (driver “shocked” by accuracy).
  • Comfort & cooling: AC performance and seating comfort praised.
  • Ride quality & insulation: minimal vibration/noise described.

Cons / Issues Mentioned

  • Horn described as “useless” (sound complaint; later says horn was changed in another video).
  • Headlights not that good (especially noted during night driving).
  • Rear seatbelts are awkward (socket/protruding design makes positioning difficult).
  • Speed alert beeps:
    • Rings once above 80 km/h
    • Beeps repeatedly afterward
    • Continuous near 120 km/h
  • CNG driving minor lag: slight lag in gear changes on CNG vs petrol.
  • Traffic heavily affects average: bumper-to-bumper traffic “ruined” the average.

Comparisons / Contextual References

  • No named competitor mileage comparisons.
  • Indirect driving condition comparisons:
    • Expressway cruising improves average
    • City jams reduce average
  • Driver general claim: diesel cars typically do ~25–26, but Nexon petrol achieved only ~21, still considered good.

User Experience Summary (What it felt like)

  • Car described as comfortable, smooth, and confidence-building.
  • Despite heat and mixed traffic, the ride felt stable due to good suspension and sound insulation.
  • Biggest annoyances were horn/speed alert/rear seatbelt design, not drivetrain performance.
  • Driver emphasized the test was like normal driving, not extreme efficiency-only driving.

Unique Points Mentioned (from subtitles)

  7. Followed road speed limits for realistic mileage.
  8. Driver noted no shortage of power, strong braking, and fun driving.
  9. Steering grip comment: wants leather wrapped/stiched.
  10. Google Maps jam/color/accuracy mentioned; car fuel gauge remained stable.

Speakers / Roles (from subtitles)

  • Single primary speaker (driver/reviewer): performed the mileage methodology and shared all impressions and numbers.
  • Google Maps / “Google Mata” references: mentioned by the reviewer (not separate speakers).
  • Others shown/mentioned (e.g., “brother Kaku” and companions): referenced only for context.

Concise Verdict / Recommendation

Recommended if your priority is real-world fuel efficiency (especially CNG).

Based on the driver’s tank-to-tank claims, the Tata Nexon delivered roughly ~34 km/kg on CNG and about ~21 km/l on petrol, while still maintaining good comfort and enough performance.

Main drawbacks noted: horn quality, headlight weakness, and feature/comfort irritants (rear seatbelt design, speed alert beeping), plus minor CNG gear-change lag.
