The driver is seen driving the Nexon through narrow mountain roads with no tarmac on it. The whole place is filled with dust and sand. Cars and other commercial vehicles coming from the opposite side are also making things harder. After some time, the terrain completely changes and Nexon is climbing a steep section with several hairpin turns. The terrain was so loose that the wheels were spinning at places.

The Tata Nexon not being too wide, also passes easily through the narrow off-roads. The blinding hairpin turns and sheer height of the roads make one wonder.  The skill and speed of the driver comes in too. The video even shows a section where he is driving through a river bed with huge stones. The driver carefully drives the car through those sections without getting stuck and hitting the bottom. Nexon was definitely struggling at places as it is not meant to do such hardcore stuff. It is made for city and highway commute and handle some rough roads within city limits and around.
