Tata HBX vs Nexon Comparison - Design, Specs, Prices

Tata is all set to enter into the micro SUV segment with the HBX and once launched, it will take on the likes of Maruti Ignis and the upcoming Hyundai Casper. From the leaked spy shot shared on the internet, the production model of the HBX resembles its elder sibling, Nexon. In this article, we bring a detailed comparison of HBX and Nexon and share the similarities and differences between these two. Let's get started with our Tata HBX vs Nexon comparison -

Tata HBX vs Nexon - Design

The design of any car plays an important role as it is literally the first impression the wider audience gets. In this case, Tata Motors has played safe as the HBX design resembles a lot like Nexon. At the front, the micro SUV gets the split headlight design setup with LED daytime running lights on the top and headlights at the bottom. Or the top portion could house the indicators as well. The actual information is not yet out.

The bulky bumper design is where the HBX borrows some inspiration from the Nexon along with the bi-arrow grille design. This image is based on the top-end variant so you can also notice the fog lights. Moving towards the side profile, the dual-tone alloy wheels are borrowed from the Nexon but the design is a little bit different. Do notice the body-coloured door handles and the roof rails. The roof rails surely give the HBX a SUVish stance but we don't know if they'll be functional or not.

The rear profile of the HBX looks subtle when compared with the front and doesn't add much drama. You get wraparound taillights and vertical reflectors at the rear. Overall, the HBX definitely passes the micro SUV segment with its design.

Tata Nexon Front Side Profile

On the other hand, Tata Nexon packs in a different design altogether that is different from the compact SUVs present in the market. Instead of the conventional tall boy look, it rather gets a rounded up look with a coupe-like roofline. It packs in projector headlights with LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, 16-inch alloy wheels and more. Just recently, Tata Motors brought in the dark edition for the same and it looks menacing.

Gearbox MT5-speed6-speed
Gearbox AT AMT (expected)AMT
Sports ModeNoNo

BS6YesYes

We believe that the upcoming Tata HBX will share the engine with Tiago. The three-cylinder 1.2L petrol unit makes as much as 84 bhp with a peak torque of 113 Nm. This engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and we expect an AMT too. There's not much info if Tata will bring in a 1.2L turbo petrol engine as seen on the Altroz.

The Nexon sources its power from the 1.2L turbocharged petrol unit. This generates 118 bhp with 170 Nm of peak torque. A 6-speed stick shift as standard and an optional AMT is observed in the Nexon. The ARAI certified figures of the manual version of Nexon sticks to 17.4 kmpl while for the AMT it is 16 kmpl.

Tata Nexon also comes with a diesel engine but since the HBX will only be powered by a petrol unit, we thought it'll be wiser to pitch the petrol against the petrol.

The dimensions of the Tata HBX are not out yet and these figures are from the product that was showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo. As you can see, the Nexon is 153 mm longer than the HBX and also carries an additional 48 mm of wheelbase.

Tata Nexon Side Rear Profile

On the other hand, HBX is wider by 11 mm and taller by 29 mm than Nexon. As of now, the fuel tank capacity, boot capacity and ground clearance of the HBX are not yet out. From the competition point of view, we expect it to be better than the Maruti Ignis and the upcoming Hyundai Casper.

Prices

ModelPrice (ex-showroom, Delhi)
Tata HBXRs 4.97 lakh to Rs 7.30 lakh
Tata NexonRs 7.28 lakh to Rs 13.25 lakh

There's a big difference in the prices of both HBX as well as Nexon. We expect the prices of Tata HBX to stick between Rs 4.97 lakh to Rs 7.30 lakh. The prices of Nexon starts from Rs 7.28 lakh and the top-end variant fetches Rs 13.25 lakh. All prices stick to ex-showroom, Delhi.
