As per my experience, any kind of SUV is the best vehicle to have for road trips. But to be very frank everybody cannot afford an SUV because of the high cost of cars. We are lucky that from the last few years all the car makers have come with a new segment of the car called COMPACT SUV (A class of small sport utility vehicles that is larger than mini SUVs but smaller than mid-size SUVs with a length roughly  4.00 meters (157 inches). A few days ago on 28th July, I was invited to Kochi by Tata Motors for the birth of a new baby from Tata named Nexon.

It was a two days event at Marriott Kochi in which they explained to us about the car and then took us on a road trip to Kerala’s mountains. It was my first trip to Kerala so I was so excited to be there and to explore the place. On the first day of the event, they showed the car to us and brief about its features. It was looking promising at the time of presentation but I do not believe until I experience something or explore. So I was more eager to go for the drive to make myself believe what Tata promised us.

Our trip was planned to Greenburg Resort Idukki which is 90 Km from Kochi with 20 km of the mountains and hairpin bends. After the trip, I was really amazed by the Nexon its such a balanced car in terms of power, style, comfort, and premium feel. I can say now its one of the best compact SUV in the market here I will explain to you Why Tata Nexon Is Best Compact SUV For Road Trip.

Most of the SUVs in the market are like a box shape. Tata breaks the rule and came out with a more attractive design. It is a perfect combination of SUV with a sports car look. The sleek and sloping design of the Nexon is so different from the market. You can say Nexon is one of the most stylish cars from Tata.

This is easy to see how much effort and market research Tata did before launching this car. There are so many things in the car which shows Tata thought as a passenger, not as an engineer at the time of designing the Nexon.

There is an umbrella holder in both front doors and hidden drain pipes will dump the rainwater out of the car. There is an open sunglass holder with a velvet layer to protect from scratching. It has a really big dashboard that gives you cooling features along with a removable tray for food items. Folding rear arms vest, rear AC vents are some well-thought features.
