The one-year-old Nexon facelift was driving on the highways when a full-size truck sudden came and hit on the back of the Tata car. As you can see from the video, the front bumper of the truck has been damaged with the metal bumper even being twisted at one side. In the meantime, we hardly see any heavy damage for the Tata Nexon. The sub-four-metre SUV has got a smaller impact and come out bravely after the mishap. Again, this proves how strong Nexon’s build quality really is that’s certainly worth huge applause.
