Tata Nexon facelift rivals

It rivals the Mahindra XUV300, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Maruti Suzuki Fronx, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite. Compared to other compact SUVs with petrol engines, the Nexon facelift is the second most expensive offering, only behind the Brezza. However, with respect to all compact SUVs, the Nexon diesel is the most expensive of the lot by a fair margin.
