Tata Nexon AMT Vs Maruti Vitara Brezza AMT – Design

The Tata Nexon AMT is a sub 4-metre compact SUV but does not look like one. It brings a whole new styling body, which actually looks something unusual and interesting. It definitely looks like a Coupe fused with SUV. On the front side, it gets projector headlamps with LED DRLs. The front bumper with the grille and the positioning of the fog lamps give it a sporty look. Tata also offers a sunroof as one of the accessories on the contrasting roof with side rails. On the rear side of the car, it gets a split LED tail lamp. It also gets shark fin antenna on its kept-up body. In summary, Nexon looks like an unusual SUV and is definitely a head turner.

Maruti Vitara Brezza AMT gets the same old-school boxy SUV body. Some consider it sporty, while some consider it too normal. However, the styling elements that Maruti offers on the Brezza make it look a little different. The SUV type styling elements start with a skid plate in the front, wheel arch extension, chrome elements on the front grille, black alloy wheels and a roof-end spoiler. It also gets the turn indicators on the bumper, which is done for the first time by Maruti. Brezza also gets split LED tail lights with LED light guides.

Tata Nexon AMT Vs Maruti Vitara Brezza AMT – Verdict

Recently, both the cars got equipped with AMT and with that came some added features. Tata Nexon AMT definitely heads up in terms of features. However, for those who prefer proper SUV type feeling, Maruti Vitara Brezza AMT is the better option.
