Nissan will unveil the new Tekton SUV on July 9th, marking the company's return to the compact SUV segment after the Terrano. According to reports from ABP NEWS, this launch follows Nissan's recent introduction of the Gravite sub-4m MPV, signaling the carmaker's continued commitment to the Indian market. The Tekton was partially revealed earlier, showcasing its Nissan Patrol-inspired design details, drawing inspiration from Nissan's most famous luxury SUV. The launch represents Nissan's strategic move to strengthen its presence in India's competitive SUV segment, with the company indicating that more new products are in the pipeline following the Tekton's introduction.
The Tekton will feature turbo petrol engines only, with the Magnite 1.0 turbo petrol being standard and paired with a manual gearbox. As reported by ABP NEWS, the vehicle will also offer a 1.3l turbo petrol engine with both manual and automatic transmission options. While no confirmation has been provided regarding a strong hybrid variant, the company expects to offer such an option at a later stage. The SUV is expected to include a 7-seater version, along with premium features such as a 360-degree camera and panoramic sunroof. More details will be revealed closer to the unveil date of the Nissan Tekton.
The Tekton will enter a crowded compact SUV segment with numerous competitors, including the Renault Duster itself. According to ABP NEWS, there will be sufficient styling differences between the Duster and Tekton to maintain their individual identities in the market. The launch represents Nissan's strategic move to strengthen its presence in India's competitive SUV segment, with the company indicating that more new products are in the pipeline following the Tekton's introduction. The carmaker launched the Gravite recently which was its sub-4m MPV and the Tekton is its next launch while later it will be joined by the 7 seater version.
