Nissan Tekton Tekna Plus 280 DCT

The Tekna Plus T280 DCT is the most powerful Tekton variant sold in India, pairing a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 6-speed DCT for strong in-gear performance and a claimed 18.5 kmpl efficiency, making it the pick for buyers who want top-end punch without stepping into a manual. It is a 5-seater front-wheel-drive SUV with 212 mm ground clearance, a 2657 mm wheelbase and 50-litre fuel tank, so it should suit both city use and highway trips well.

The Tekna Plus T280 DCT is the fully loaded Tekton petrol automatic, pairing the 1.3-litre turbo engine with a 6-speed DCT and a strong 280Nm output, so it is the right pick if you want the quickest, most relaxed version in the line-up rather than the most affordable one.

Nissan has positioned the Tekton Tekna Plus T280 DCT as the top-spec 1.3-litre turbo-petrol automatic, with 163 PS, 280 Nm and a 6-speed DCT, so the key recent update to note is that this variant sits at the top of the range with the most performance-focused powertrain available. It also brings the richest feature set in the Tekton line-up, including a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, powered front seats, 48-colour ambient lighting, a powered tailgate and a wireless charger with cooling, which makes it the most equipment-heavy choice for buyers prioritising comfort and convenience.

The Tekna Plus T280 DCT is the only Tekton variant clearly associated with the full 17-feature ADAS package, including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, blind spot warning and traffic sign recognition, making safety tech a major buying point for this trim. It also adds a 360-degree camera and connected-car functions with Google built-in, so this update matters most for buyers who want the most advanced driver assistance and in-car tech rather than the simpler lower trims.

For buyers comparing the top variant against other Tekton trims, the most relevant recent change is that Tekna Plus consolidates premium convenience items into one trim instead of spreading them across the range, with dual-zone climate control, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital cockpit, Arkamys audio, Type-C charging ports front and rear, and smart card key access all bundled together. That makes this version the easiest pick if the goal is a fully loaded Tekton without piecing together optional equipment or moving up to a different powertrain.

The Nissan Tekton Tekna Plus 280 DCT is listed at ₹18.59 lakh ex-showroom in New Delhi, with reported on-road pricing around ₹21.4–₹21.5 lakh in Delhi and similar top-spec pricing varying by city.

This top automatic trim sits above the Tekna T280 DCT and the N-Connecta T280 DCT, so buyers choosing it are mainly paying for the fully loaded feature set rather than a different powertrain.

In recent 2026 price listings, the variant’s on-road cost has been shown higher in metros such as Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai because of local taxes and insurance, so it is worth checking the final quote in your city before booking. [1][6][7]

The Tekna Plus T280 DCT is listed with a claimed mileage of 18.5 kmpl, which is the key figure to compare against other petrol automatic compact SUVs in this class. For a buying decision, it is best treated as an ARAI-type test value rather than a real-world promise, because turbo-petrol DCT SUVs typically return lower figures in heavy city use.
