Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.54L more for the Magnite Tekna+: the Magnite Tekna+ shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds 360° camera and tyre pressure monitor. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Magnite Tekna+: touchscreen (8" against 7"), headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector), driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and cruise control, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Magnite Tekna+, you give up connected car tech, wired CarPlay / Android Auto and wireless phone charger, which the Urban Cruiser Taisor G keeps
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor G if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.54L 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
