Features
While all five SUVs are fairly well equipped and offer features like connected tech, an electric sunroof, LED lighting, keyless entry and so on, the 2023 Tata Nexon facelift one ups its rivals with its class-leading fully-digital instrument cluster with navigation support, first-of-its-kind illuminated logo on steering wheel as well, a blind-view monitor as its best-in-class 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system (same size as Sonet).
However, Hyundai recently updated the Venue and it now offers ADAS Level 1 tech including Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, Lane Follow Assist, High Beam Assist.
