Hyundai Creta vs Nissan Tekton: which should you buy?
The Nissan Tekton starts at ₹10.49L against the Hyundai Creta's ₹10.91L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.42L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹18.59L, where the Tekton tops out. Past that only the Creta has anything left to sell you, up to ₹19.91L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Creta comes in petrol and diesel, the Tekton in petrol.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.59L to both showrooms and you come out with the Creta SX Premium at ₹17.93L or the Tekton Tekna+ at ₹18.59L, the Creta leaving ₹0.66L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.66L more for the Tekton Tekna+: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: front parking sensors and driver display (10.25" digital against Semi-digital). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Tekton Tekna+ is the strongest of the two at 163 PS
- Also on the Tekton Tekna+: rain-sensing wipers and air purifier, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Tekton Tekna+, you give up SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1") and powered driver seat (8-way against 6-way), which the Creta SX Premium keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Creta SX Premium if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.66L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Nissan Tekton Tekna+ if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
