Design is an important factor when you’re trying to decide between two cars. For some, it even comes down to the colour and the shade, so how do the two cars measure up in this regard?

The Tata Nexon EV sports the company’s new Impact 2.0 design language. It has a grille on the front with a chunky black bar in the middle. Tata has given it a slightly angular design and new 16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels.

The Tata Nexon EV comes in three colours – Signature Teal Blue, Glacier White and Moonlit Silver. The sunroof comes in contrasting tones, which adds to the looks of the car.
