Safety and After Sales Service – The most important point is after-sales service. While Tata Motors definitely has a wider network of service centres, the service quality levels have always been inconsistent and owners have had good as well as bad stories to tell. Ford has a lower number of service centres but the company has time and again stressed on how their service costs are lower thanks to the child parts policy.
Verdict – Both these compact SUVs are good packages and come with good diesel engines, lots of features and nice practicality. If you really want a compact SUV with a petrol engine, we highly recommend the EcoSport over the Nexon but if you want a diesel car, choosing 1 between these 2 would be a tough call. If you can live with a cramped rear seat, the EcoSport would be our pick but if you want more space and don’t mind the Tata badge, the Nexon is the one to go for.
