The Nissan Tekton will be based on the same platform as the next-generation Renault Duster. Production is expected to take place at the Nissan–Renault manufacturing facility in Chennai. The SUV will be manufactured for both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive markets, with exports planned alongside domestic sales.

According to Nissan, the Tekton’s design draws inspiration from the larger Patrol SUV. It features C-shaped LED daytime running lights integrated with LED headlamps and a full-width light bar at the front. The rear also follows a similar lighting pattern with connected LED tail-lamps. Nissan has stated that a double C-shaped design element on the front fender references the Himalayan region.

The Tekton’s interior layout is expected to be similar to the upcoming Renault Duster, though Nissan is likely to use different trims and materials. Higher variants may include a touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, multiple drive modes and a 360-degree camera. Nissan has confirmed that while the infotainment hardware will be shared with the Duster, the software interface will be specific to Nissan.

The Tekton is expected to offer up to six airbags. Details on driver assistance features are yet to be confirmed. It remains unclear whether advanced driver assistance systems available on the international-spec Duster will be offered on the India-spec Tekton.

The Nissan Tekton is expected to be powered by a 1.3L turbo-petrol engine producing around 152bhp and 250Nm of torque. This engine is likely to be paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Nissan has not officially confirmed powertrain details at this stage.

The Nissan Tekton will compete in the C-SUV segment against models such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, MG Astor, Honda Elevate, Tata Curvv, Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun.
