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)
- Viewers requested an average/mileage test after Nexon delivery.
- Nexon supports Petrol + CNG.
- Test route: ~5.25 km first leg, then longer expressway/bypass usage.
- AC kept ON full time due to heat.
- Filled CNG first, reset Trip A, then filled petrol and continued.
- Method focused on tank-to-tank (not just infotainment).
- Followed road speed limits for realistic mileage.
- Driver noted no shortage of power, strong braking, and fun driving.
- Steering grip comment: wants leather wrapped/stiched.
- Google Maps jam/color/accuracy mentioned; car fuel gauge remained stable.
- Digital speedometer described as accurate.
- Cabin comfort, seat cushioning, and driver height adjustment praised.
- Average “ruined” by Delhi bumper-to-bumper traffic.
- Horn issue: scooter-like/useless; later says horn changed in another video.
- Headlights not good at night.
- Smooth expressway/bypass roads; better average expected there.
- Music system + touchscreen praised (smooth/no hang/clear).
- Suspension tuning praised; ground clearance ~200 mm.
- Cabin insulation: low exterior noise; minimal vibrations.
- Travel convenience/toll usage praised.
- Slip road speed limit 120; driver chose ~100–110 for safety/enjoyment.
- CNG “range bars” decrease gradually across segments (points drop over time).
- Return to petrol: reset Trip B; fuel gauge shown full.
- Petrol vs CNG pickup feel described as very similar (very minor difference).
- Petrol average climbed to ~19–22 during return.
- Petrol tank-to-tank: 125.5 km / 5.97 L → ~21 km/l, with meter consistency.
- Petrol range increased slightly; driver discussed range accuracy.
- Speed alert beeps repeatedly over 80, continuous near 120; described as annoying.
- Rear seatbelts are socket/protruding and hard to manage.
- Delhi–Mumbai expressway includes food joints/petrol/stops; infrastructure praised.
- CNG tank-to-tank: ~117.7 km on CNG, 3.4 kg → ~34 km/kg, “mind-blowing.”
- Final recommendation: buy Nexon for average + performance with turbo; driver impressed by real-life test.
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.
