Choose the Tata Nexon if
Tata Nexon costs रु 1,91,000 less ex-showroom.

With most specs undisclosed, buyers cannot reliably compare this trim's value against Smart+ or Smart until the distributor confirms actual features Anyone considering XM should get written confirmation of safety and comfort inclusions from the dealer before paying Rs 35.99 lakh

Pros
Shares the same core 1.2L Turbocharged Revotron engine (88.2kW, 170Nm) and 208 mm ground clearance as other trims, per verified specs
382L boot space matches the rest of the lineup
Cons
Safety rating, airbag count, infotainment, design and comfort features are all listed as not officially disclosed, so real inclusions are unverifiable
The sales_imports listing confusingly references the Nexon EV, raising doubts about which model/trim this entry actually represents
Priced at Rs 35.99 lakh with far less confirmed content than Smart+ at Rs 36.99 lakh, making it hard to judge feature-for-price
