The rear side fender of the Nexon has received a dent and the metal has been ripped. Even if the damage is not repaired, the owner can still live with it. This is the strong build quality of the metal that is used on the Nexon. The owner anyways has claimed insurance and is getting his car fixed for free.
Many people might be wondering that many examples of Nexon have come up and most of the times, the accident is huge. The number of accidents on the Indian roads is huge but many cars have worse impact. Nexon has received a 5-star rating for the safety of adult occupants and 3-star rating for the child occupants.
The facelifted SUV was launched in the starting of the year with some cosmetic upgrades, BS6 compliant engines and a couple of new features. It now comes with automatic headlamps, cruise control, automatic rain sensing wipers and electric sunroof on the top-spec variant.
