Same money, which car?
Take ₹10.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the XUV 3XO MX3 Pro at ₹10.86L or the Magnite Tekna+ at ₹10.99L, the XUV 3XO leaving ₹0.13L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.13L more for the Magnite Tekna+: 360° camera and tyre pressure monitor. The useful extras on top: rear parking camera and speakers (6 against 4). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Magnite Tekna+: driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), auto climate (single zone), auto headlamps and auto-folding wing mirrors, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Magnite Tekna+, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, single-pane sunroof and touchscreen (10.25" against 8"), which the XUV 3XO MX3 Pro keeps
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Pro if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.13L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Nissan Magnite Tekna+ if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
