Tata Nexon
The Tata Nexon is a subcompact SUV that has established itself as one of the pillars of the brand's lineup in the Indian market. It targets urban and family buyers seeking a versatile, safe and affordable vehicle. The Nexon stood out in terms of safety, with five-star ratings in NCAP testing, which helped strengthen Tata's reputation. The model is available in internal-combustion versions as well as a fully electric variant (Nexon EV), which has become one of the benchmarks for affordable electric vehicles in India. The Nexon is not marketed in North America. For this type of subcompact SUV, wheels usually measure around 15 to 16 inches; a vehicle of equivalent size driven in Quebec would need winter tires suited to local winter conditions.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les modèles Tata sont surtout des citadines et des VUS compacts à intermédiaires. Les petites voitures (Nano, Indica) utilisaient de petites roues, souvent autour de 13 à 14 pouces, tandis que les VUS récents (Nexon, Harrier) emploient des jantes plus grandes, généralement de 15 à 19 pouces selon la version. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) varie selon le segment, fréquemment de type 4 ou 5 trous. Comme la marque n'est pas vendue au Québec, ces véhicules n'y circulent pratiquement pas; pour tout véhicule de gabarit comparable conduit ici, des pneus d'hiver homologués restent essentiels vu les normes provinciales et le climat rigoureux.
