Nissan Tekton vs Tata Sierra: which should you buy?
The Nissan Tekton starts at ₹10.49L against the Tata Sierra's ₹11.49L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.00L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹18.59L, where the Tekton tops out. Past that only the Sierra has anything left to sell you, up to ₹21.29L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Tekton comes in petrol, the Sierra 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 Sierra Adventure+ at ₹18.49L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.10L more for the Tekton Tekna+: level 2 (full suite) ADAS 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.
- The Tekton Tekna+ is the strongest of the two at 163 PS
- Also on the Tekton Tekna+: drive modes, auto climate (single zone), air purifier and leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Tekton Tekna+, you give up hill descent control, touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1") and terrain modes, which the Sierra Adventure+ keeps
- Choose the Tata Sierra Adventure+ if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.10L 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
