1 Lakh KM Baad Nexon CNG Ka Kya Haal Hai? 😱 | 4 Years Owner Experience | ARMY Canteen Price Rate🫡

Tata Nexon CNG: Four-Year, 1-Lakh-km Ownership Summary

Vehicle and Purchase

The owner bought the Nexon through an Army canteen in August 2022 for about ₹7.6 lakh on-road, roughly ₹70,000–₹80,000 less than the regular price. It has an aftermarket CNG kit and had covered about 1,07,247 km when filmed.

CNG Mileage and Use

The 8-kg CNG cylinder costs around ₹750 to fill in Haryana and ₹600–₹650 in Delhi. The owner reports getting roughly 200–210 km per cylinder on the highway in Eco mode and about 120 km in city traffic. His mileage estimates are around 14–15 km/kg in the city and 20–25 km/kg on the highway.

The car initially felt much the same on CNG as on petrol, but the owner says it gradually felt more subdued on CNG. He also noticed that the car became quieter after the kit was installed.

He recommends factory-fitted CNG over aftermarket CNG, saying aftermarket installation can cost more.

Condition, Maintenance and Reliability

All four tyres were replaced at around 70,000 km. By 1 lakh km, the owner had also rotated them.

The car had received about five services. After the first two years, he switched to independent workshops because he was unhappy with Tata’s service quality. The subtitle’s service-cost figure is unclear, so no reliable amount can be given.

He considers the car reliable after more than 1 lakh km, but says interior rattles and poor fit and finish are persistent drawbacks. He believes Tata needs to improve its after-sales service.

He praises the car’s strong body and build. In a collision with a Baleno, he says the Nexon had no interior damage and only its number plate was bent, while the Baleno suffered more damage. The subtitle’s detail about broken glass is ambiguous.

Resale and Alternatives

The owner estimates the Nexon’s current resale value at about ₹3.4 lakh, describing depreciation as roughly ₹1 lakh per year over four years.

For someone driving more than 150–200 km, he suggests considering an EV despite its higher initial cost. For daily use of around 70–80 km, he recommends CNG.

He compares the Nexon favourably with the Brezza and another CNG competitor whose name is unclear in the subtitles, particularly for features, build quality and performance. He says the Hyundai Venue offers more features.

He also mentions fit-and-finish concerns in his Tata Harrier, suggesting the issue is not limited to this Nexon.

Verdict

The owner recommends the Nexon for buyers who prioritise strong build quality, features and generally reliable high-mileage use, while warning that rattles, fit-and-finish shortcomings and weak after-sales service are significant compromises. His endorsement is qualified: buy it for its strengths, but be prepared to tolerate the cabin noises.

Speaker’s Perspective

The owner/reviewer speaks positively about the Nexon’s durability, build strength and value, but is sharply critical of Tata’s service experience and fit and finish. He favours factory-fitted CNG over aftermarket installation and recommends choosing between CNG and an EV based on driving distance.
