Nissan Tekton Tekna Plus 160 MT

The Tekna Plus T160 MT is the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, manual-only version of the Tekton, with a 999 cc three-cylinder engine that makes about 99–100 hp and 166 Nm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox. It is a 5-seat petrol SUV with a claimed fuel efficiency of 19.4 kmpl, so it suits buyers who want the fully loaded trim but prefer a lighter, more efficient engine over the larger turbo option.

The Tekna Plus variant sits at the top of the Tekton range and brings the most premium equipment, including a 10.10-inch infotainment system with Google integration, a 10.25-inch digital driver display, level 2 ADAS, rear AC vents, front powered and ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, ambient lighting, a powered tailgate, and a full LED lighting package. For buyers comparing variants, this makes the T160 MT a feature-rich choice if you want top-spec comfort and safety without stepping up to the more powerful 1.3-litre turbo models.

This version also stands out for its practical dimensions and road presence, with a 2657 mm wheelbase, 212 mm ground clearance, and a 518-litre boot that expands significantly with the rear seats folded. Those numbers make it easier to judge against rivals if you need a compact SUV that still offers usable cabin space and luggage room for family use.

The Tekna Plus T160 MT is the range-topping manual Tekton, priced at ₹16.49 lakh ex-showroom and around ₹18.8–₹20.1 lakh on-road depending on city, so it makes sense if you want the fully loaded trim without moving to the pricier DCT. It pairs a 999 cc petrol engine with a manual gearbox and is listed with about 98.6 bhp and 19.4 kmpl, which makes it the value play for buyers who prefer a clutch pedal over the automatic’s extra cost.

The Tekna Plus T160 MT is positioned as the top manual Tekton in India, with pricing listed at Rs 16.49 lakh ex-showroom and an ARAI fuel efficiency of 19.4 kmpl for the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol manual version.

The Tekna Plus spec on the Tekton emphasizes everyday convenience and tech, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, a 6-way powered driver seat, connected car features, and a 6-speaker Arkamys audio system.

Safety and driver-assist features are a major part of the update, with the Tekna Plus gaining 6 airbags, level-2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, parking sensors with parking assist, ESC, TPMS, hill-start assist, and a higher ADAS count than the Tekna trim.

The Tekna Plus T160 MT is the petrol-manual top-end Tekton variant, listed at ₹16.49 lakh ex-showroom in New Delhi and about ₹18.8–₹18.96 lakh on-road in Delhi, so it sits at the premium end of the line-up and is best evaluated on how much value you place on the higher trim level rather than outright entry pricing.

For buyers comparing city costs, the same variant is shown at about ₹19.29 lakh on-road in Mumbai, which is slightly higher than Delhi and reflects the usual state-tax difference; if you are budgeting this trim, the on-road number matters more than the ex-showroom figure because it is the actual purchase outlay.

If you are cross-shopping the Tekton range, the Tekna Plus T160 MT is priced well above lower petrol-manual variants such as the Visia Plus T160 MT and N-Connecta T160 MT, which helps narrow the decision to whether the added equipment and top-spec positioning justify the price jump over the mid variants.

The Tekna Plus 160 MT is listed with an ARAI-certified mileage of 19.4 kmpl, so it sits among the more fuel-efficient petrol variants in the Tekton line-up while still being the top manual trim. This figure is the key comparison point for buyers who want premium features without moving to a lower-economy turbo-petrol option.

If you are weighing running costs, the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol manual setup is the relevant reference here: the Tekna Plus 160 MT uses a 999 cc petrol engine with 98.63 bhp and 166 Nm, and the same 19.4 kmpl rating appears across the other T160 manual trims as well.

For a purchase decision, the mileage advantage is that the Tekna Plus 160 MT matches the best petrol economy quoted for the Tekton while remaining a fully loaded variant; the trade-off is that real-world fuel use will vary with traffic, load, and driving style, so the certified figure should be treated as an efficiency benchmark rather than a guaranteed on-road number.
