Hi All,

I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall, average weight and I could just not get into a comfortable position in the drivers seat of my friends top end Nexon. Is the drivers side really a bit cramped or is it just me?

Surprisingly, the passenger side was much more roomy.

The driver seat has height adjustment & i think its due to that.

I am also a tall person and had similar observation when i tried to test drive the vehicle first time around. I felt my head was almost touching the roof which made me feel uncomfortable and disappointed at first but when i tried to sit at the co passenger seat i felt the head room was generous. Since it was bothering me too much i decided to go again for the test drive after 2 weeks and used the height adjustable lever more accurately to be absolutely sure things are fine and i got my clear answer.

First time around i did not use the height adjustable lever more properly and precisely as i was more eager to drive the car rather than finding the comfortable seating position but next time i gave it a good hard look and time to adjust my seat into a comfortable position to drive and i was happy with the results. Only thing you may not be more comfortable with is the view of the bonnet outside from your seat. The best thing about Brezza as well as the likes of EcoSport and Creta is that they give a commanding view of the road as well as the bonnet is visible to give you more precision and accuracy for narrow lanes. This is somewhat i missed in Nexon, though the outside view is great from the driver's seat.

You can check once again with the car what position suits you best and do you feel comfortable or not. Surprisingly i checked XM variant too which doesn't have a height adjustable seat and it looked more comfortable to sit in which clearly made me sure i didn't adjust my seat properly in the top end variant first time around.

My Nexon delivery has been delayed by a week due to this long weekend and loan processing delays. I have decided to stick with SBI which is the best option despite recent rate hike and processing fee inclusions. In case of my Nano, i used to pay whatever extra amount I had and SBI has no prepayment charges.

Thanks for the pictures and detailed explanation.
My problem though was more with the length and breath in the drivers part of the cabin. While I was able to manage length by adjusting the seat for more leg space, the breath was found to be too narrow with the center console occupying too much space and my left knee kept hitting against it *ouch*. If i'm not mistaken, the center console also protrudes towards the drivers side on its way down. But then again, all these are observations from a single drive therefore I could easily be wrong. Will surely try once again after adjusting the height.

Another incident which gives a fair idea how the build quality of this beast is:

Even Rush Lane has done it earlier today, including copy-pasting my quoted post word-to-word, and they also had the shameless gall to argue with me over it on Twitter -

I am 6'0", and despite the steering wheel not having the telescopic feature, I felt completely at home. I adjusted the tilt adjustment all the way upwards, the seat-height lever to 2/3rds of the way up, and adjusted the to-fro slide of the driver seat backwards to a position where I could see the complete Speedo (including MID) clearly. There's plenty of space above my head and on both sides of my shoulders.

My only grouse is the seatbelt lock on the bottom left of the driver's seat, which gets difficult to reach once you are sitting. But once you are securely fastened and the car is on the move, you forget it.

Hey Avinash,
Didn't notice you posted it in a different forum. Well I came across a 'Nexon' incident and was sad and happy at the same time as the build quality of the car impressed me much. And hence the post in Nexon forum. No offence to you or your post. Cheers. :thumbs up

I meant Cartoq, not you my friend.

Apologies for the misunderstanding.

At the end of Cartoq's article there is an embedded link; 'Source' which is directed to TeamBHP's related thread/page. In my mobile's browser, it appears on the left side in orange.

Any idea when the investigations into exact cause of rolling over be concluded? This being the 2nd such incident in recent times, I would be keenly watching this space.

Please read RavenAvi's original post where he has quoted information received from the people involved in the accident. That would answer your queries without any wait

The first incident was user hitting a stone thereby fracturing a wheel.

the front seats felt small/cramped/suffocated to me as well during a food show I visited where the nexon was displayed. And it was not just due to the seat height adjustment or lack thereof. Thigh support also felt lacking as was room sideways. On the plus side I also felt that it is one extremely well put together Tata. And the body shell looked tough as a tank. Maybe structural stiffness and strengthening measures consumed some cabin space.

Booked Nexon blue DT (D) on March 18th at Concorde motors, Dairy circle. Luckily car was available in their stockyard. I was promised a delivery data in April 1st week as there were many government holidays towards end of March. I was also not in a hurry so I agreed.
I asked them to get the vehicle to showroom for PDI. I completed PDI yesterday with the help of Team-BHP checklist. I really appreciate the showroom staff as they were very courteous to answer all my queries.
I was informed that the car will go for registration this Tuesday or Wednesday. I am planning to take delivery towards end of coming week.

Booking details:

• On road price: 11, 86, 503/-
• Got logistic charges waived off
• Opted for AMC
• Opted for extended warranty
• Got zero depreciation insurance for 29k from dealer (Dealer matched external quote)

Opted for following accessories:

• Alloy for spare wheel
• Puddle lamps
• Illuminated suff plates
• Rear bumper garnish chrome

Managed to get 7% discount on accessories after two rounds of negotiations.

Planning to get following from outside:

• Seat covers
• Leather wrap for steering
• PPF from 3M

I will post more details after I take delivery.

I need small help. Dealer is reluctant to exchange steel rim of spare wheel with an alloy though I was ready to pay the difference.
Can any of you let me know if I can sell this outside?
