Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.20L more for the Tekton Tekna+: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (10.1" against 7") and dual-zone climate control. 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+: all-wheel disc brakes, ventilated front seats, 6-way powered driver seat and drive modes, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Tekton Tekna+, you give up wireless phone charger and regenerative braking, which the Victoris ZXi (O) (Strong Hybrid) keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Victoris ZXi (O) (Strong Hybrid) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.20L 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

- Which is more practical, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris or the Nissan Tekton?
- On the figures the makers publish, the Tekton swallows 518 litres of luggage against 439. Everything else about living with them, from boot shape to how the back seat actually feels, is a test drive question rather than a spec sheet one.
- Which is cheaper as an automatic, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris or the Nissan Tekton?
- The Victoris: its cheapest automatic is ₹13.36L against ₹14.99L for the Tekton, ex-showroom Delhi. A gearbox is usually the biggest single step on either ladder, so check what else that trim brings before you read it as the price of the automatic alone.
