|| TATA Nexon Pure Plus Petrol vs Diesel 2026 : What major Changed? 😮 ||

Tata Nexon Pure+ Petrol vs. Diesel — Summary

What’s the Same

• Both cars are the Pure+ trim and look essentially identical inside and out.
• Both have reflector-style LED headlights; fog lamps are not included. The owner later fitted fog lamps to the petrol car.
• Shared cabin features include a 10-inch screen, digital instrument display, manual AC, folding mirrors, four power windows, rear AC vents, a front armrest, and a glovebox. Boot space is also similar.
• The reviewer says rear-seat thigh support and headroom are good.
• The owner-installed seat covers reportedly cost about ₹8,000 and fit well.
• No substantial differences in the overall cabin or exterior were identified.

Main Equipment Difference

The recently purchased diesel reportedly has an additional 45W USB Type-C charging port, which the older petrol car lacks. The petrol is described as having a regular USB port.

The subtitles are unclear about whether the 12V socket and Type-C port configuration differs consistently between the cars, so this comparison should be treated with caution.

Engines, Performance, and Gearboxes

• Petrol: 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo engine producing 118 bhp and 170 Nm. The reviewer says it vibrates and sounds noisy, including when starting.
• Diesel: 1.5-litre, four-cylinder engine producing 113 bhp. Torque is stated as 250 Nm during the drive and later as 260 Nm, so the video’s figures are inconsistent. The reviewer found its low-speed pull strong: it moved off forcefully in first gear when the clutch was released.
• The petrol is offered with manual and automatic options, including a 7-speed DCT. The diesel has a 6-speed manual and 6-speed AMT, with no DCT mentioned.
• The diesel engine is noticeably louder, and the car shakes when switched off. The reviewer personally likes the characteristic diesel sound, while acknowledging that others may not.

Mileage and Price

• Petrol mileage estimates are around 10–11 km/L in the city and up to 20 km/L on the highway under favourable conditions. The reviewer’s own experience is about 15–16 km/L.
• Diesel mileage of 24–25 km/L on the highway is reported by other owners, not established by a test in this video. The reviewer postponed a proper mileage test until the new car has covered at least 1,000 km; the brief initial meter reading was 20 km/L.
• The owner says the petrol cost ₹10 lakh on-road in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, when purchased in January. The diesel cost ₹11.76 lakh on-road there when purchased in September. These purchases were made at different times.
• The family chose diesel because the brother expects to drive more, while the family already has a petrol Nexon.

Driving Impressions and Concerns

• The reviewer performed a brief braking test on the new diesel and felt it stopped well, but did not conduct a thorough test.
• After about eight months, two rear AC-vent parts had come off in the petrol car. The owner managed to refit one but could not find the other, and asks Tata to improve this aspect of build quality.
• The diesel had only about 506 km on it during the video, so performance and mileage conclusions were preliminary.

Verdict

The cars are presented as nearly identical in features and appearance, with the key decision being petrol versus diesel. The petrol costs less upfront and offers more gearbox choices. The diesel delivers stronger torque and may suit drivers with higher annual mileage, although its real-world economy was not tested in the video.

Buyers should weigh the diesel’s higher purchase price against their driving needs. The reviewer’s praise for the diesel’s sound is a personal preference, not a universal advantage.

Different Views and Contributions

The video has one main narrator, who owns the petrol Nexon and tests the newly purchased diesel. He says his brother chose the diesel because he expects to drive more. The narrator likes the diesel’s sound and strong pull, while noting that some people dislike its noise. He also criticizes the quality of the rear AC-vent parts.
