Nissan Tekton vs Tata Harrier: which should you buy?
The Nissan Tekton starts at ₹10.49L against the Tata Harrier's ₹12.89L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹2.40L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹18.59L, where the Tekton tops out. Past that only the Harrier has anything left to sell you, up to ₹25.95L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Tekton comes in petrol, the Harrier in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹18.59L to both showrooms and you come out with the Tekton Tekna+ at ₹18.59L or the Harrier Adventure X at ₹18.35L, the Harrier leaving ₹0.24L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.24L more for the Tekton Tekna+: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, blind spot monitor and ventilated front seats. The useful extras on top: connected car tech and 6-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Tekton Tekna+: front parking sensors, speakers (6 against 4), electronic parking brake + auto hold and auto-folding wing mirrors, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Tekton Tekna+, you give up touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1"), headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector) and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Harrier Adventure X keeps
- Choose the Tata Harrier Adventure X if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.24L 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
