MG Hector vs Nissan Tekton: which should you buy?
The Nissan Tekton starts at ₹10.49L against the MG Hector's ₹11.99L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.50L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹18.59L, where the Tekton tops out. Past that only the Hector has anything left to sell you, up to ₹19.50L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.59L to both showrooms and you come out with the Hector Sharp Pro at ₹17.50L or the Tekton Tekna+ at ₹18.59L, the Hector leaving ₹1.09L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.09L more for the Tekton Tekna+: the Tekton Tekna+ shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds level 2 (full suite) ADAS and 360° camera. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Tekton Tekna+: blind spot monitor, dual-zone climate control, drive modes and driver display (10.25" digital against 7" digital), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Tekton Tekna+, you give up SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), JBL system with Dolby Atmos and touchscreen (14" against 10.1"), which the Hector Sharp Pro keeps
- Choose the MG Hector Sharp Pro if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.09L 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
