They run together up to ₹18.59L, where the Tekton tops out. Past that only the Scorpio-N has anything left to sell you, up to ₹24.95L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Scorpio-N seats 7, the Tekton 5.

Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.59L to both showrooms and you come out with the Scorpio-N Z6 at ₹18.52L or the Tekton Tekna+ at ₹18.59L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.07L more for the Tekton Tekna+: airbags (6 against 2), level 2 (full suite) ADAS and 360° camera. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (10.1" against 8") and dual-zone climate control. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Mahindra Scorpio-N seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- Also on the Tekton Tekna+: blind spot monitor, all-wheel disc brakes, tyre pressure monitor and sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Tekton Tekna+, you give up hill descent control and third-row AC vents, which the Scorpio-N Z6 keeps
- Choose the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z6 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.07L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Nissan Tekton Tekna+ if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
