Same money, which car?

Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.43L more for the Urban Cruiser Taisor V: the Urban Cruiser Taisor V shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds head-up display. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Urban Cruiser Taisor V: 60:40 split rear seat, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Urban Cruiser Taisor V, you give up tyre pressure monitor, JBL system with Dolby Atmos and single-pane sunroof, which the Nexon Fearless+ keeps
- Choose the Tata Nexon Fearless+ if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.43L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor V if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
