Nissan Tekton vs Tata Nexon EV: which should you buy?
The Nissan Tekton starts at ₹10.49L against the Tata Nexon EV's ₹12.49L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹2.00L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹17.49L, where the Nexon EV tops out. Past that only the Tekton has anything left to sell you, up to ₹18.59L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Tekton comes in petrol, the Nexon EV in electric.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹17.49L to both showrooms and you come out with the Tekton N-Connecta at ₹16.49L or the Nexon EV Empowered+ at ₹17.49L, the Tekton leaving ₹1.00L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.00L more for the Nexon EV Empowered+: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1") and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Tekton swallows the most luggage at 518 litres
- The Nexon EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- Also on the Nexon EV Empowered+: JBL system with Dolby Atmos, ventilated front seats, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and drive modes, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Nexon EV Empowered+, you give up sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane), dual-zone climate control and auto-folding wing mirrors, which the Tekton N-Connecta keeps
- Choose the Nissan Tekton N-Connecta if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.00L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Tata Nexon EV Empowered+ if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
