On the figures the makers publish, the Safari seats 7 against the Tekton's 5 and the Tekton swallows 518 litres of luggage against 420. 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 Nissan Tekton or the Tata Safari?

The Tekton: its cheapest automatic is ₹14.99L against ₹18.35L for the Safari, ex-showroom. 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.
