Nissan is poised to significantly expand its offerings in India with the introduction of two new models in 2026. The company has confirmed the upcoming launch of the Nissan Gravite, a sibling to the Renault Triber, which is set to be unveiled on January 21.
The second notable addition to Nissan’s lineup is a midsize SUV named the Tekton. Following a development announcement in October of last year, Nissan has confirmed that the Tekton will be fully revealed on February 4.
Marketed as Nissan’s counterpart to the new Renault Duster, the Tekton will compete in the highly competitive midsize SUV segment against established rivals such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and the forthcoming Tata Sierra. Teasers released recently have provided insight into the vehicle’s design and features.
Nissan Tekton Exterior Design
The Tekton’s design takes cues from the renowned Nissan Patrol. Key exterior features include:
- Lighting: Connected LED headlights and C-shaped LED tail-lights.
- Profile: A sleek silhouette with traditional pull-type door handles at the front and hidden C-pillar-mounted handles at the rear.
- Aesthetics: Multi-spoke alloy wheels and premium silver-finished roof rails.
Nissan Tekton Interior and Features
Recent teasers indicate that the cabin will feature an elegant three-tone dashboard with a glossy black finish. A stylish bronze strip will connect the central touchscreen to the side air conditioning vents. Anticipated features include:
- Wireless smartphone charging
- Automatic climate control
- A panoramic sunroof
Nissan Tekton Powertrain Options
While detailed engine specifications are yet to be confirmed, the Tekton is expected to be available with two petrol engine options:
- 1.3-litre Turbo-Petrol: Intended for the higher-spec variants.
- 1.0-litre Turbo-Petrol: Likely designated for entry-level trims.
Transmission options will include both manual and automatic gearboxes. Additionally, Nissan may introduce a hybrid powertrain in the future to attract environmentally conscious consumers.
