Tekna or Tekna+, and what each costs
Where you start
Tekna
The kit trim: bi-LED projectors, 360 camera, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, cooled glovebox and the PlasmaCluster air purifier. Cruise control skips the AMT, so pick the manual or the CVT if you want it.

Our take
Keeps ₹33,000, and gives up only ambient lighting and leatherette upholstery
Buy the Nissan Magnite Tekna and keep the ₹33,000: the Magnite Tekna+ only adds small touches like ambient lighting and leatherette upholstery. Nothing there changes the car.
What Tekna to Tekna+ costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹33,990 to ₹38,128 on the road, against the ₹33,000 the price list shows.
Why the road figure moves, and by how much
Road tax is charged on what the car costs, so moving up a trim moves the tax up with it. The ₹33,000 is the distance between two price tags; the road figures add the tax and the charges that difference attracts.
The rate is your state's to choose, and they do not choose alike, so this one step is worth ₹4,138 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Karnataka comes out highest.
Only the rate where the car is registered applies to you, so hold a dealer's quote against your own state's figure rather than the range. The range is still worth knowing: it is why two owners can quote this step to each other, differ by ₹4,138, and both be right.
