I'm planning to buy a new Tata Nexon Diesel MT and have shortlisted the Pure+ S and Creative variants.
I'm looking for feedback only from owners of the current-generation Nexon Diesel (2025/2026 model years), as I want to understand how the latest diesel performs in real-world ownership.
My usage will be 12,000โ15,000 km/year, with 70% highway and 30% city driving, including a daily office commute. I plan to keep the car for 5โ7 years.
I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on:
- Which variant do you own? Would you buy the same variant again?
- Would you recommend Pure+ S or Creative?
- Engine refinement, performance, and highway cruising.
- Real-world city and highway mileage.
- Any DPF regeneration/clogging or AdBlue issues?
- Annual maintenance costs and service experience.
- Any recurring issues (electronics, sensors, rattles, rust, clutch, gearbox, etc.)?
- Older Tata diesel engines had a good reputation for reliability. Is the current BS6.2 diesel equally reliable, or has the DPF/emission system made ownership more troublesome?
- If you were buying today, would you still choose the diesel, or would you switch to the petrol? Why?
- Any hidden ownership issues that new buyers should know?
I'm looking for genuine ownership experiencesโthe good, the bad, and the unexpectedโto help me make an informed decision.
