Nissan India has announced the ARAI-certified fuel efficiency figures for its newly launched Tekton SUV. Priced from Rs. 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the new midsize SUV comes with two turbo-petrol engine options and offers a claimed mileage of up to 19.4kmpl, making it one of the more fuel-efficient petrol SUVs in its segment.

Key Highlights

Nissan Tekton launched in India at a starting price of Rs. 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
1.0-litre turbo-petrol manual delivers the highest claimed fuel efficiency of 19.4kmpl.
1.3-litre turbo-petrol is available with both manual and DCT automatic gearbox options.
The Tekton rivals the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra, Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder.

The Tekton is Nissan's latest offering in the competitive midsize SUV space and shares its engines and platform with the Renault Duster while featuring its own unique design and feature set. The Nissan Tekton offers two distinct turbo-petrol powertrain options to suit different performance needs:

Turbo T160: Delivers 98 bhp and 166 Nm of torque.
Turbo T280: A more potent option producing 160 bhp and 280 Nm of torque.

Depending on the chosen variant, the Tekton is available with either a manual transmission or a dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

1.0-Litre Turbo-Petrol Returns Best Mileage

The most fuel-efficient version of the Nissan Tekton is powered by a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. This combination delivers an ARAI-certified mileage of 19.4kmpl.

This variant is expected to attract buyers looking for a balance of performance and lower running costs.

Customers looking for more performance can opt for the 1.3-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. It is offered with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT).

The ARAI-certified fuel efficiency figures are:

1.3-litre Turbo Manual: 17.8kmpl
1.3-litre Turbo DCT: 18.5kmpl

Interestingly, the DCT automatic version is slightly more fuel efficient than the manual variant.

Nissan Tekton Variant-Wise ARAI Mileage

Engine	Transmission	ARAI-Certified Mileage
1.0-litre, 3-cylinder Turbo Petrol	6-speed Manual	19.4 kmpl
1.3-litre, 4-cylinder Turbo Petrol	6-speed Manual	17.8 kmpl
1.3-litre, 4-cylinder Turbo Petrol	6-speed Dual-Clutch Automatic (DCT)	18.5 kmpl

The Nissan Tekton is based on the same platform as the Renault Duster and uses the same engine options. However, Nissan has given the SUV a distinct identity with a redesigned exterior, a different cabin layout, and its own equipment list to set it apart from its alliance sibling.

Rivals in the Midsize SUV Segment

With the launch of the Tekton, Nissan has re-entered India's highly competitive midsize SUV segment. The new SUV will compete against popular models such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun, and Skoda Kushaq.

The combination of competitive pricing, turbo-petrol engine options, and claimed fuel efficiency of up to 19.4kmpl could make the Nissan Tekton an attractive choice for buyers looking for a practical and feature-rich midsize SUV.
