What is the Tata Nexon Petrol Mileage on Highways Explained

Buying a new car is far from an easy decision, we can all agree on that. With so much information at our disposal it can be hard to decide which one will work best for us. But with these facts and figures, you too can make an informed decision when it comes to buying the right vehicle for the job.
The Tata Nexon is indeed a 5-seater SUV that costs between Rs. 7.55 and Rs. 13.90 lakh*. It comes with 65 different options and two different engines. A 1.2-litre turbo-petrol (120PS/170Nm) and even a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel (110PS/260Nm) are available, both with a standard 6-speed manual transmission and an optional 6-speed automatic transmission. The average mileage of Tata Nexon Petrol Vehicle on highways is 12 kmpl. The highest Mileage reported by a Tata Nexon owner is 28 kmpl and the lowest is 1 kmpl.

Tata Nexon is a good hatchback but when it comes to mileage, it may disappoint you a little bit. Tata Company claims the average of 17 kmpl on highways in petrol variant for both manual and automatic transmission. Even I have seen a couple of videos where YouTube bloggers claim the same.

But the real picture is very different, I have two friends who own Tata Nexon and like me, they are also not satisfied with the mileage part. Before first service of their vehicles, the mileage on city roads was around 8-9 kmpl and on highways was 9-10 kmpl. They thought that maybe after the first service it will get better, but nothing like that happened. When after the service they drove the vehicle, they got the following mileage on the given modes:

1. City: 8-9 kmpl

2. Eco: 9-10 kmpl

3. Sport: 7-8 kmpl

On highways when they drove with Ac on, they got only 11-12 kmpl mileage. See, Nexon is a heavy vehicle that weighs more than 1300 kg and such heavy vehicles require an engine with high torque which leads to high fuel consumption beyond any doubt.
