Overview
The Tekton was initially announced in March of 2024 as one of 3 cars to be introduced by Nissan in India by 2026 and as one of 4 models to be introduced by Renault and Nissan in the region, with each brand launching 2 models respectively. [1]
It is the first of four models that Nissan has planned to launch in India by 2025. The Tektron's launch will take place in the middle of 2026, with production planned to start in the first quarter of 2026. Pre-production models are already testing. [2]
It is expected to compete with the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Suzuki Grand Vitara and Suzuki Victoris. [3] [4]
Design and features
The front of the Tekton uses C-shaped headlights and chrome trim on the grille. Both the front and rear bumpers use a rugged design with aluminum-style inserts around the intakes. The taillights' design is inspired by the Nissan Patrol/Armada, and full-width light bars are present at both the front and back. No details are present about the interior's design, except that the dashboard combines body-colored trim with gloss black and metal accents. [5] [4]
Carscoops initially stated that the Tekton's headlights, when the model was first teased, were reminiscent of the Nissan Interstar. [1] Nissan's senior design director, Ken Lee, has stated that the Tekton is intended to be a "baby Patrol" in terms of visual appeal. [3]
The Tekton's interior is expected to use a fully digital driver's display, auto AC, ambient lighting, a premium sound system, a wireless smartphone charger, push-button engine start/stop, and a panoramic sunroof. [4] Electronic stability control, an automatic braking system with electronic brakeforce distribution, and Level 2 ADAS capacity are expected to be utilized on the Tekton.
