Which Tata Nexon variant should you buy?
There are 24 ways to buy a Nexon, across 6 trims, from ₹7.40L to ₹14.02L ex-showroom Delhi.
Pound for pound the ladder pays best at Pure+: ₹0.85L more than Smart+, and it is the step that hands back the most kit for the money.
Above that, the one to think hardest about is Creative. At ₹1.00L over Pure+ it asks the most per feature of anything higher up the range, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.
How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.

Where the kit that matters lands
- Airbags: all 6 are standard from the base Smart, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety kit: Fearless+, from ₹12.35L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best. Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.
- Automatic: the cheapest is the Smart+ Turbo Petrol AT at ₹8.90L. See it
Then there is the engine
Picking the trim is only half of it. The Nexon is sold with 3 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
Tata Nexon: the questions people ask
- How many Tata Nexon variants are there, and what do they cost?
- 24 variants across 6 trims, from ₹7.40L for the Smart Turbo Petrol MT to ₹14.02L for the Fearless+ Diesel AT, ex-showroom Delhi.
- Which Tata Nexon variant gives the most for the money?
- Moving up to Pure+ costs ₹0.85L over Smart+ and buys more per rupee than any other step on the ladder: tyre pressure monitor, rear parking camera, touchscreen (10.25" against 7") and wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, and 1 more.
- Is the Creative worth it?
- It asks the most per feature of any step above the best-value one: ₹1.00L over Pure+ for wheel type (Alloy against Steel), driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and auto climate (single zone). Worth it if you specifically want that kit, hard to justify otherwise.
- Which Tata Nexon variant has 6 airbags?
- Every Nexon has 6 airbags, including the base Smart, so there is no need to move up the range for them.
- Which Tata Nexon variant has the full safety kit?
- Fearless+, from ₹12.35L, is the cheapest trim carrying every safety feature the Nexon offers at its best level. Anything above it repeats that kit rather than improving on it.
- What is the cheapest automatic Tata Nexon?
- The Smart+ Turbo Petrol AT, at ₹8.90L ex-showroom Delhi.
Prices are ex-showroom Delhi, compiled July 2026 from public sources (Tata Motors, CarDekho, Autocar India, 91Wheels). CNG power/torque and base airbag count were confirmed in the 2026-07-26 daily audit; per-trim feature availability remains the least verified data here. Sources disagree on the top price (14.30 vs up to 15.50). Verify with a dealer.
