Tata Nexon

As we've mentioned in the title too, this is a feature vs size comparison at the same price of Rs 8.39 lakh. Naturally, the Punch gets in more features than Nexon. However, there are some features where Nexon stands out and those are hill hold control, ESP, traction control, sunglass holder and fully digital instrument cluster. Please note that Tata Punch comes with Traction-pro mode that is available with the AMT versions only.

Note - Here, we have jotted down the features that one SUV gets over another. We have skipped the identical features of both the SUVs.

Verdict

The choice is not that difficult if you ask us. It all depends on what do you need for your daily requirements. Nexon is rugged, packs in a go to anywhere attitude and comes with more safety features than the Punch. It gets decent features on the go and one does not need any aftermarket accessories too with it. However, if you want a new product and it should have all the latest features then Tata Punch is your choice. It has got that SUV stance and bold looks.
