Exterior Design and Styling Details
With its wide, contemporary front fascia, flat hood, and upright proportions, the Nissan Tekton exudes a powerful and muscular stance. The SUV’s LED DRL signature runs the length of it, completing the Nissan emblem in the middle. Its SUV appeal is highlighted by the split headlight arrangement with vertical LED clusters and a tough front bumper.
Rear Profile and SUV Aesthetics
Similar to the latest Nissan global models, the Tekton’s rear end is equipped with squared tail lamps and a connected LED tail-light bar. It has a sporty, high-end SUV appearance thanks to the huge alloy wheels and rear spoiler.
Interior Design and Technology Features
The interior teaser showcases a full-width trim insert finished in brushed metal, ambient lighting, and a sleek, layered dashboard design. Nissan is anticipated to provide a 360-degree camera, wireless smartphone connectivity, a huge touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital driver’s display, ventilated seats, an ADAS suite, and high-end upholstery.
Platform and Powertrain Options
Based on the CMF-B architecture, the Nissan Tekton and the upcoming Renault Duster will share a platform. It is anticipated that the Tekton will be available in India with both gasoline and hybrid drivetrains, with the pricier variants including robust hybrid technology. To establish the Tekton as a competitive and high-end alternative to the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Toyota Hyryder, Nissan is also considering AWD for top-spec vehicles.
Nissan’s Expansion Strategy for India
Nissan’s growth strategy in India, which calls for several new models to be introduced over the next two years, includes the Nissan Tekton as a significant milestone. A seven-seater SUV that shares a base with the Renault Bigster (Boreal) is also planned after the Tekton. With a design that combines contemporary Nissan heritage with functionality tailored to India, the Tekton is expected to revolutionise Nissan’s place in the Indian SUV market when it debuts in the middle of 2026.
