Nissan Tekton

The Nissan Tekton is a subcompact crossover SUV that Nissan builds exclusively for India, on the CMF-B platform it shares with the third-generation Dacia Duster, which Renault sells in India as the Duster. Its name comes from the Greek word for craftsman or architect. Nissan announced it in March 2024 as the first of four models planned for India with its alliance partner Renault, and the article records its introduction in India on 9 July 2026 in Visia, Visia+, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna and Tekna+ variants. It competes with the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. Design director Ken Lee calls it a baby Patrol, and its taillights borrow from the Patrol and Armada. It offers a 1.0-litre engine of 100 hp with a six-speed manual, or a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol of 163 hp with a six-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
