Nissan Tekton C-SUV India Debut Planned for February 2026

Nissan is planning to launch three new products in India as part of its strategy, including the Gravite MPV, which is scheduled for launch in January 2026, followed by the Tekton SUV in February 2026, and a new 7-seater C-SUV planned for early 2027. This lineup aims to enhance Nissan's presence in the Indian market.

The Nissan Tekton is set to compete with popular models like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. It is expected to offer features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, multiple drive modes, and advanced safety features, which are increasingly common in this segment. This competitive feature set will be crucial for attracting buyers in a crowded market.

The Nissan Tekton is expected to feature a 1.3L turbo-petrol engine producing around 152bhp and 250Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This powertrain will place it competitively against rivals like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos, which also offer turbo-petrol options, ensuring performance and efficiency for potential buyers.

The Nissan Tekton is expected to come equipped with up to six airbags and various safety features, though details on advanced driver assistance systems are yet to be confirmed. This aligns with the growing trend in the C-SUV segment where competitors like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos offer comprehensive safety features, making it essential for the Tekton to meet or exceed these standards.

The Nissan Tekton will be produced at the Nissan-Renault facility in Chennai, emphasizing local manufacturing as part of Nissan's strategy to enhance its footprint in India. This aligns with the 'Make in India' initiative, allowing for competitive pricing and better supply chain management while catering to both domestic and export markets.
