Maruti Suzuki e Vitara vs Nissan Tekton: which should you buy?
The Nissan Tekton starts at ₹10.49L against the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara's ₹15.99L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹5.50L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹18.59L, where the Tekton tops out. Past that only the e Vitara has anything left to sell you, up to ₹19.79L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the e Vitara comes in electric, the Tekton in petrol.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.59L to both showrooms and you come out with the e Vitara Zeta at ₹17.49L or the Tekton Tekna+ at ₹18.59L, the e Vitara leaving ₹1.10L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.10L 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.
- The Tekton swallows the most luggage at 518 litres
- The e Vitara is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the Tekton Tekna+: all-wheel disc brakes, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats and speakers (6 against 4), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Tekton Tekna+, you give up airbags (7 against 6), wireless phone charger and regenerative braking, which the e Vitara Zeta keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Zeta if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.10L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Nissan Tekton Tekna+ if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
