Tata Motors' reputation for building tough cars was once again put to the test; albeit in an unexpected situation at a multi-level parking facility. A Tata Nexon bore the weight of a falling lift and another car yet came away with only minor damage.
The owner of the SUV took to social media to share the incident. According to her, the SUV was parked in a multi-level parking lot when she received a call from the security team informing her that the lift above her car had failed. The lift, which also had a sedan parked in it, had collapsed, landing right on top of her Nexon.
Surprisingly, the vehicle had held its ground with minimal visible damage. In the photos she posted, the sedan and the lift structure can be seen resting on the roof of the Nexon. As seen in the images, the overall structural integrity of the SUV remained largely intact. Though it suffered a few bruises, the damage was far less than what one might expect in such a scenario.

Tata Nexon: All you need to know
The incident involved the pre-facelift version of the Tata Nexon. It had received a five-star safety rating in the Global NCAP crash tests. It was also the first made-in-India vehicle from an Indian manufacturer to achieve that distinction. The SUV continues to be one of the top-sellers in the sub-compact segment and is offered with multiple powertrains, including petrol, diesel, CNG, and electric options. Prices for the Nexon currently start at Rs 8 lakh, ex-showroom.
Following the incident, Tata Motors' service team reached out to the owner to arrange a full inspection of the vehicle to rule out any hidden structural or mechanical issues - a gesture she appreciated in the post.
