Tata Nexon vs Maruti Vitara Brezza – Exterior Design Comparison
The Tata Nexon first wooed the audience at the 2016 Auto Expo where it debuted as a concept.The best part about the production model is that it looks almost exactly like the desing study from the last Expo. Each bit comes together quite nicely, be it the grille merging into the headlamps. The bulging wheel arches do give it a muscular character which feels adequate. The rear end looks neat and there is a chrome strip running across the width of the car. All-in-all, a nicely executed design is what the Nexon carries.
The Vitara Brezza feels more SUV-esque than sedan-like. The front end looks quite brawny with narrow headlamps and grille but a big air inlet in the centre of the bumper. It looks as if it will eat up the road. The wheel arches are more square-like to give it the stance of a classic SUV. The rear end has a big chrome strip above the number plate housing. The wraparound taillamps look quite good and the rear windscreen is quite upright. Its design drives home the point that this is an SUV you are looking at.
Tata Nexon vs Maruti Vitara Brezza – Interior Design Comparison
The Nexon’s interior looks as good as the exterior. The dual-tone black-grey treatment given to the dashboard makes it looks quite nice. The brushed aluminium insert running the width of the dashboard makes it look plush. The same treatment extend to the door panels making the interior look quite nice, as a result. The centre console is devoid of any screens, barring the floating infotainment unit. However, expect the car’s dashboard to see some changes when the car is launched in India.
The Vitara Brezza has a purpose interior design. Its dashboard features two gloveboxes. Barring the brushed aluminium and chrome inserts, the car’s interior feels quite nice. The centre console has the SmartPlay infotainment system as its highlight. Below it are HVAC controls with a digital readout.

In general, if you want the feel of an SUV interior with plushness of a car, the Vitara Brezza’s interior does quite a good job at imitating the two.
