After a long gap since launching the Magnite in India, Nissan is back with a new C-segment SUV, the Nissan Tekton, set to debut in Q2 2026.
While the X-Trail was previously introduced as a CBU model, it didn’t gain much traction.
The Tekton will sit above the Magnite in Nissan’s lineup, promising a fresh experience of style and power.
Design Highlights
Nissan has revealed the design of the Tekton, though specifications and variants are yet to be announced. Key design features include:
Front: A bold flat hood and a horizontal light bar connecting the headlamps. The bumper has a strong, aggressive look, and the hood bears the “TEKTON” branding, similar to Land Rover SUVs.
Sides: Flared wheel arches enhance the SUV’s upright stance. The rear door handles are integrated into the pillars for a sleek look.
Rear: A bold rear design with taillights inspired by the Nissan Patrol.
The interior is expected to follow a minimalist design, though details remain under wraps.
Expected Powertrains and Competition
The Tekton is likely to offer multiple powertrain options, including:
Naturally aspirated petrol
Turbo-petrol
Hybrid variants
Positioned above the Magnite, it will compete with popular C-SUVs like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki models, and the Toyota Victoria.
With its bold styling and versatile powertrain options, the Nissan Tekton aims to strengthen Nissan’s presence in the Indian SUV market and offer a premium alternative in the C-segment.
