Tata Nexon: Creates History India’s Best-Selling Car for Three Straight Months
Tata Nexon: For the first time in recent years, a compact SUV has achieved what was once considered nearly impossible – topping India’s overall passenger vehicle sales chart for three consecutive months. Tata Nexon ended November 2025 as the country’s highest-selling four-wheeler, comfortably beating every hatchback, sedan, and rival SUV in the process.
Unbreakable Sales Momentum
The numbers speak for themselves. Tata Motors dispatched 22,434 units of the Nexon in November 2025, slightly higher than 22,083 units in October and 22,573 units in September. Maintaining monthly volumes above 22,000 units in the fiercely contested sub-4-metre SUV space is extraordinary, especially when established names like Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and the newly launched Kia Syros are all chasing the same customers.
This consistency has turned the Nexon from a strong contender into the undisputed volume leader of the entire Indian car market – a position traditionally held by budget hatchbacks from Maruti Suzuki.
How GST 2.0 Changed the Game
The recent GST council decision to rationalise rates on automobiles with length under four metres and engine capacity below 1200cc petrol/1500cc diesel triggered a sharp price correction for several Nexon variants. Select diesel and petrol-automatic versions became cheaper by up to ₹1.55 lakh almost overnight.
Suddenly, the Nexon’s starting price dropped to ₹7.32 lakh (ex-showroom) for the lowest it has ever been since the facelift launch. Buyers who were earlier cross-shopping premium hatchbacks or mid-size sedans now found a fully loaded compact SUV within reach. Showrooms across the country reported a visible surge in footfalls and bookings immediately after the revised price list was announced.
One Nameplate, Every Possible Powertrain
Very few vehicles in India, or anywhere in the world, offer petrol, diesel, CNG, and electric options under the exact same badge. The Nexon does exactly that, making it a one-stop solution for almost every kind of buyer.
Petrol enthusiasts can choose the 1.2-litre turbo engine producing 120 bhp, paired with five-speed manual, six-speed manual, six-speed AMT, or the smooth seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Diesel loyalists continue to enjoy the torquey 1.5-litre unit that delivers 115 bhp and 260 Nm, available with both manual and AMT gearboxes.
The recently introduced twin-cylinder CNG variant returns class-leading fuel efficiency while still offering 100 bhp and 170 Nm – enough performance for highway cruising without any noticeable lag. And for those ready to go electric, the Nexon.ev comes with two battery packs – 30 kWh and 45 kWh – with the larger pack promising an ARAI-certified range of 489 km and realistic driving range around 350 km under mixed conditions.
No other model in this price bracket gives customers the freedom to pick their preferred fuel type without compromising on features, safety, or brand experience.
Safety and Features That Still Lead the Segment
The Nexon was the first made-in-India car to score a full five-star rating in Global NCAP crash tests, and the current generation carries forward the same robust build quality. Standard fitment now includes six airbags, electronic stability program, hill-hold assist, tyre pressure monitoring, and a 360-degree camera on higher variants.
The cabin feels distinctly premium with a 12.3-inch floating touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver display, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging, and a panoramic sunroof – features that even some mid-size SUVs still treat as optional extras.
Why the Nexon Refuses to Slow Down
Tata Motors has managed to keep the product fresh through regular updates, aggressive pricing moves, and an ever-expanding powertrain portfolio. While rivals have been launching new models or facelifts, the Nexon has quietly widened its lead by addressing every possible customer concern – be it running cost, performance, safety, or future-proofing with electric mobility.
The three-month streak at the top of the sales charts is not just a statistical achievement; it reflects genuine customer trust in a home-grown brand that has consistently delivered value, innovation, and peace of mind.
As the Indian automotive market moves toward cleaner and smarter mobility solutions, the Nexon stands out as the most versatile, accessible, and proven choice for hundreds of thousands of families across cities, highways, and everything in between.
