At the rear, the Tekton continues the C-shaped lighting theme with connected LED tail-lamps. The SUV’s front bumper gets a tall, clean design with subtle chrome elements. A unique double C-shaped motif on the front fender has been included as a design reference to the Himalayas, according to the company.
