Powertrain
T280 1.3L Turbo Petrol: The one with the muscle: 163 PS, a segment-best 280 Nm and a wet-clutch DCT with paddles and an e-shifter. Unusually, Nissan rates the DCT thriftier than the manual, so the easy gearbox costs you nothing at the pump

What the Tekna Turbo Petrol 163 PS MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Tekna Turbo Petrol 163 PS MT comes to ₹17,35,290 on the road in Itanagar and ₹19,80,009 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,44,719 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹16.39L ex-showroom this is the eighth of 12 Tekton variants by price, ₹1.00L above the Tekna Turbo Petrol 100 PS MT. The same Tekna features start at ₹1.00L less as the Tekna Turbo Petrol 100 PS MT; the extra here buys the Turbo Petrol with the 6-speed manual. Stepping up to Tekna+ from here starts at ₹10,000 more and buys 360° camera and ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)). Worth knowing that the Tekna+ is not sold with the Turbo Petrol with the 6-speed manual, so the move changes the powertrain too.
More about the Tekna trim
The safety step: 15 ADAS functions including AEB, lane keep assist and blind spot warning, plus ventilated seats, a powered driver's seat and an e-parking brake on every gearbox. Adaptive cruise and hill descent control need the DCT.
Nissan Tekton Tekna: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Nissan Tekton Tekna Turbo Petrol 163 PS MT?
- ₹16.39L, ex-showroom. That makes it 8th of 12 by price, ₹1.00L above the Tekna Turbo Petrol 100 PS MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Nissan Tekton Tekna Turbo Petrol 163 PS MT?
- Expect ₹17,35,290 in Itanagar and ₹19,80,009 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,44,719 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Nissan Tekton Tekna Turbo Petrol 163 PS MT have?
- The Turbo Petrol, 163 PS, with the 6-speed manual. The maker's figure for it is 17.8 km/l.
- What features does the Nissan Tekton Tekna Turbo Petrol 163 PS MT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: ADAS (Level 2 (core suite)), Blind spot monitor, All-wheel disc brakes, Ventilated front seats, Front parking sensors and Connected car tech.
- What does the Nissan Tekton Tekna Turbo Petrol 163 PS MT miss out on?
- The Tekna+ above it adds 360° camera and ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)), for ₹10,000 more. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the Tekna+ is not sold with this one.
- Is the Tekna the right Tekton to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Nissan Tekton which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
