Same money, which car?
Take ₹16.36L to both showrooms and you come out with the Elevate ZX at ₹16.36L or the Tekton Tekna at ₹15.39L, the Tekton leaving ₹0.97L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.97L more for the Elevate ZX: 121 PS against 100 PS, a 21 percent jump you will feel and the Elevate ZX shifts itself while the other is a manual. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Elevate ZX: touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1"), wired CarPlay / Android Auto, speakers (8 against 6) and wireless phone charger
- Going to the Elevate ZX, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, tyre pressure monitor and sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane), which the Tekton Tekna keeps
- Choose the Nissan Tekton Tekna if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.97L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Honda Elevate ZX if
- You want the stronger, quicker car and will use the performance
