New Tata Nexon Dark is Here!!

Hey guys! Welcome to MotorOctane. How are you all today? So guys! Today, I'm going to show you the India's safest compact SUV - the Tata Nexon's Dark Edition. This car was launched in the market last year and we reviewed it at that time. This is the Dark Edition of the car, which has just been launched and you can exclusively see it on MotorOctane. So let's start with its design elements. So the front of the Dark Edition Nexon doesn't look very different from the regular one. Overall, this car l

ooks very pretty from the front. I really dig the black and white combo. It looks super slick. The headlights are split and it has daytime running LEDs on top. Underneath that, you'll find bi-projector LEDs and LED fog lamps. Now, there's something really important I want to tell you. Even if you go for the base model of Nexon, it comes equipped with LED lamps. At this price point, no other car is offering you such lights. Next up, the front grille comes with a sleek piano black finish. And chec

k out the Tata logo too. It's completely blacked out here as well. If you take a look below the logo, you'll notice a camera because there's a 360 camera installed here. And here, you get sensors too. So, you also get parking sensors at the front. Now, before I move on to the next part, let me tell you something important. Tata Nexon is one of the best-selling cars in India. Actually, if you check out the sales from last year, this SUV had the highest sales. Actually, when we uploaded the video

of the Nixon, it became one of the most viewed videos on our channel. If I talk about those 6-8 months. So, Nixon is definitely in demand and that's why we're coming up with the dark edition. When we check out the side profile, the car has a complete blacked-out styling. First, let's start with its 16-inch wheels. The wheels here are completely blacked out with a nice chrome-black finish that gives it a glossy look. They look very nice. You can also see the dark badging on the top and there's ev

en a camera on the side mirror. By the way, the ground clearance of this car is still maintained at 208 mm which is one of the best in the entire category. Now, Nexon Dark comes in 5 variants. Creative, Creative Plus, Creative Plus S, Fearless and Fearless Plus S variants. When we check out the rear of the car, it has a sleek sloping design. And if we take a look at the back, you'll notice that the tail lamps are connected LED tail lamps. It looks very good. And the combination of the front whit

e lights and the fully connected red tail lights looks pretty neat to me. No changes needed. The translation is already contextual and colloquial/modern. This sort of gives an extra muscle part to the car. This is where it adds on, contributes to the styling. Earlier, it wasn't this big. Okay, let's open the tailgate for you. The tailgate opens from the bottom. Alright guys, we've already loaded up our luggage to check out the boot space. Large, medium, small. Three size bags can easily fit in h

ere. No need to worry, there's even space for a small backpack here. So, if you're planning a road trip with your family of 4-5 people, you won't face any issues. They can easily go on a road trip. So, let's talk about the exterior. Let's get into the car. The interiors of Nexon look really sporty in black color. Just look at the entire dashboard. It looks very sporty. Here, it seems like they have given a nice overall finish. Alright, so let's switch on the car. The car looks very minimalistic.

Just look at it once. It looks very minimalistic. Now, let's get into all the details one by one. So, here, first let's start with this. It gets a blue colour stitching. No changes needed, the translation is already contextual and modern. And check out the new steering wheel, it's got a sleek two-spoke design. Tata's logo is illuminated. So, if I switch on the light, it goes down. And, when we switch off the light, it completely turns off. The controls on the left side are for audio. So, these

also get switched off. When the car is switched off, you won't be able to see or read the controls at all. On the right side, you have controls for your cruise and to manage your digital instrument cluster. And, you also have paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Okay. So guys, the digital instrument cluster in this car is pretty advanced. So, you might be wondering why I'm calling it advanced. Well, at this price point, most cars only offer a basic digital instrument cluster. But, they are ver

y simplistic. They are customizable. How does this work? Let's go to the customization part. Alright. So, here we are. You can change the dials here. So, you can change it to a single dial. Alright. And then, you can switch to a secondary view as well. So, here, let's say mileage or torque. I can keep on changing this. So, it's completely customizable. Just like you see in high-end luxury cars. So, this is what you get. And if you turn on the navigation, it will take up the entire screen. It's j

ust like a luxury car. So, this is much advanced. You can definitely refer to it as the digital instrument cluster 2.0. Alright. So, this car gets a 10.25-inch touchscreen system. And, if you notice how smooth it is, it's just amazing. Response is quite good. Even, the brightness is quite good. So, to use it, it's quite easy and convenient. In this car, you can now use both wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. That's right, you don't need to connect your device with a cable. You get a total

of 9 Harman JBL speakers in this car. By the way, this infotainment system is built by Harman itself. And, here, if I go down, I will actually show you. There are multiple modes you can choose. You get a variety of 12-13 modes to choose from based on your mood. Guys, in my opinion, one of the best things you can do is have a cinematic experience. If you're tuning in to the radio or following a storyline, the sound quality is really impressive. By the way, the bass is really good if you're listen

ing to some pop music. So, you can customize it according to your own preferences. Alright. So, this is what it offers. And, here, you also have a lot of features. You get Alexa for voice. Plus, you can give more voice commands to the car. Like, change the temperature to 22 degrees. Alright. We're setting the temperature to 22 degrees. See, it's 22 degrees here. So, basically, you can give voice commands in 6 different languages. And you can give over 250 voice commands to the car itself from Ta

ta. Otherwise, you can already use Siri or Google to do it. Anyways, moving on to other elements. There's a 360 camera here. And, look at the clarity of this. Now, compact SUVs are starting to get 360 cameras. But, this is one of the best in terms of clarity. See, overall clarity. Let me change it to 3D. Look at the clarity that this offers. See? It is damn clear. So, it's utilisation is really good. And, if you're a new driver and you're using the turn signals, you get a complete blind spot vie

w here. Which will make it easier for you to drive. Especially, in tighter lanes. To find out if there's someone driving on my left or right. So, that is one good thing given here. Alright. So, this is what the new touchscreen offers. Pretty neat. Let's go here. Your glove box is really big. Just look at the damn size of this. This is the biggest glove box in this compact SUV. No one gives such a big glove box. I think it's just called a small boot box. Just like in electric cars, you get an ext

ra storage space here. So, overall storage space is really good in this car. It has Auto Day and Night Mirror. Which is standard in a lot of cars today. This feature isn't even available in a car worth 30 lakhs. I don't know why. Anyways, moving here. You get climate control here. And, this is full touch based. And, this is Express Cool. So, Express Cool cools your cabin. So, it cools your cabin quickly. If you're in a hot climate. It says a little too much. You can switch it off if you want it.

And, you get charging ports here. You need a Type C, USB, 12V. You get everything here. And then, you have this gear shifter. Which is generally in high-end cars. It's a very nice electronic shifter. And, this car is looking good. All the multiple driving modes are here. You have a wireless charging pad to keep your phone. Of course, you have a storage space here. Which is not too deep. But, it's decent enough overall. And, you can easily keep some things here. To store extra things underneath.

In the beginning of the video, I said that Nexon is India's safest compact SUV. So, how did it come to be? Because, it has a lot of safety features. 6 airbags, ABS + EBD, Traction Control, ESP. And, the list pretty much goes on. Even the second-row passengers have 3-point seatbelts. I'm sharing the entire list with you. By the way, if you don't know. Let me tell you. Nixon was the first car in India to receive a 5-star rating from Global NCAP. It was in 2018-2019. On that day, I made a video st

ating that India produces safe cars. Because at that time it was being said that safe cars can't be made in India 3-4 stars were made so it was a big deal But the Nexon was the first car to receive a 5-star rating back then. And I remember how thrilled I was when I heard the news. That Indian manufacturers have made a 5 star rated car in the field of safety Which everyone thought was impossible for us to achieve We did it I've already talked about the safety features, and the list of other featu

res in the Nexon is pretty extensive. I am sharing that entire thing with you also I forgot to tell you about the sunroof So you get the sunroof here Now if we look at the front seat You get the elements of the dark edition You get the #DARK here You can see the blue stitching on the side And if we look at the centre of the seat You get the tri-arrow motif in blue colour In the center, which is another unique feature of the dark edition. Both the front seats have ventilation and it's visible. Bo

th the front seats are ventilated Let's dive into the seating comfort, guys! Trust me, Nexon's seats are super comfy. If I talk about compact SUV I have been talking about Nexon for a long time We have a Nexon at home We still own a Nexon from 2017 and have taken it on many road trips. Nexon's seats are very comfortable So see It is neither too soft nor too hard Nor too firm That's why you don't feel tired even during long journeys. And the best part is the side bolstering, which is super soft.

So that's why people don't get tired easily I have driven Nexon And a lot of people Who I know have bought it And have driven thousands of kilometres Constantly driven And they absolutely love the seat comfort that Nexon provides. And you know what's another advantage The ride quality of the car is very good It's not like the seat is comfortable But you are sitting on the seat You have the seat comfort but not the suspension comfort So that's not an issue here My height is 6 feet just for your r

eference And I set the front seat as per my driving position. Let's come on the back seat The door opens quite wide Getting in and out is quite easy And I have closed this Now what's special about Nexon The seats are wide So three people can sit comfortably We have done a real test on this car You can go and check that out also We will put the overlay Three people can sit comfortably here Because the shoulder room of the car is good And the recline of the seat is decent enough So if you are goin

g on a long journey You won't get tired easily Yes, there are only two adjustable headrests That is a miss out for sure But other than that, there's really nothing to complain about. Let's see the knee room and headroom The knee room is overall decent enough But my feet don't touch the ground The headroom is also good And if you look at my thigh support It is good enough So overall the back seat is comfortable Even for tall passengers So two 6 feet tall passengers Can sit comfortably in the Nexo

n The passengers sitting at the back Get all the features They get rear AC vents You get two charging points Type C and USB So you get everything over here And you have a lot of space So you get everything over here And that's about it The passengers sitting at the back Get a 12V socket at the back So they don't get two They get three charging ports For rear seat passengers So this way Everyone who is in the car Can charge their phone or any device easily If two people are going They have a good

arm rest In which two cup holders Are provided In Nexon You get two engine options 1.2 liter turbo petrol 6 speed manual and 7 speed DCA 1.5 liter diesel 6 speed manual and 6 speed AMT Now if you look at The lower variants of Nexon You don't get a non-turbo petrol engine So there is no Compromise In terms of performance Or mileage Which other SUVs do Now In the 7 speed DCA model You get paddle shifters Now I am not going to tell you How the engine runs Because I am keeping that thing For you to
