Capabilities Aren’t in Short Supply Here. Point Is, Which Does Them Best?

There’s a reason I keep coming back to the Tata Nexon. It’s a simple one: I think it’s one of the best Tatas to come around in a long while, and that’s heartening, to say the least. To see a local coming up with genuinely interesting approaches to the existing norms and giving powerhouses like Ford and Maruti a genuinely tough time is laudable. A few issues ago, I pointed out how the Nexon is, like it or not, something worth looking at when you have the Vitara Brazza parked next to it. It’s not as clear-cut as people make it out to be, really. There’s some honest thought and intent that’s gone into the Nexon.

And now, the Nexon needs to face another compact SUV in the form of the Ford EcoSport. To say that it needs little introduction would be understating things, but it still has a story to be told, especially after the refresh it’s had. It’s been wrestling with its existence for a while now, but Ford’s given it a decent do-over, so it’s worth seeing how it stacks up next to the Nexon. So without any further delay...
