Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.59L to both showrooms and you come out with the XUV 7XO AX5 at ₹18.29L or the Tekton Tekna+ at ₹18.59L, the XUV 7XO leaving ₹0.30L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.30L more for the Tekton Tekna+: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: dual-zone climate control and 6-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Mahindra XUV 7XO seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- The Tekton swallows the most luggage at 518 litres
- Also on the Tekton Tekna+: tyre pressure monitor, ventilated front seats, electronic parking brake + auto hold and auto climate (single zone), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Tekton Tekna+, you give up tri-screen cabin layout, hill descent control and touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1"), which the XUV 7XO AX5 keeps
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 7XO AX5 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.30L 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
