Which Nissan Tekton variant should you buy?
Best value for money: Tekna, at ₹1.70L over the N-Connecta. No other step you pay for is better value for money on the price list.
Above that there is one upgrade left, Tekna+, at ₹1.10L over Tekna. Nothing sits above it to weigh it against, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. N-Connecta to Tekna asks the least money for each feature it adds on the price list, and that holds once road tax is counted too, in all 25 of the states we can price this ladder in.
Why the road could have changed this, and did not
Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.
Take the badged step, N-Connecta to Tekna: ₹1,70,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹1,81,900 to ₹2,27,980 on the road. Gujarat and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest, across the 25 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.
In each of those states we ranked the 5 steps that keep the same engine and gearbox again, and the order came back the same every time. So the badge above is safe to act on wherever you buy the car.
Where the features that matter land
- Airbags
- All 6 are standard from the base Visia, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety features
- Tekna+, from ₹16.49L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best.
The good news
Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.- Cheapest automatic
- Acenta Turbo Petrol AT, ₹14.99L
- ADAS
- You need the Tekna, from ₹15.39L, for ADAS: ₹4.90L over where the Tekton opens. Spend ₹1.10L more again, to the Tekna+ at ₹16.49L, and that ADAS is level 2 (full suite) rather than level 2 (core suite).
- Airbags
- Every Tekton has 6 or more airbags, the base Visia included, so there is no step to pay for.
- 360° camera
- You need the Tekna+, from ₹16.49L, for a 360 camera: ₹6.00L over where the Tekton opens.
- Sunroof
- You need the N-Connecta, from ₹13.69L, for a sunroof: ₹3.20L over where the Tekton opens.

Then there is the engine
Picking the trim is only half of it. The Tekton is sold with 2 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
