While sharing parts and features, Tekton and the new-gen Duster have completely distinct profiles. Powertrain options are expected to be the same for Tekton and the new Duster. Petrol and hybrid powertrains will be on offer, with the option of AWD with the higher variants.

New SUV

After unveiling the Tekton, Nissan will announce the prices for theGravite MPVin March. Gravite is likely based on the CMF-A+ architecture, which is currently seen with the Renault Triber.

The MPV follows Nissans latest design language, as evident with signature features such as the C-shaped front fascia and grille. At the rear, the MPV has edgy tail lamps and C-shaped bumper design.

New Nissan 7-seater C-SUV incoming in 2027

Similar to the combo ofnew-gen Dusterand its 7-seater Boreal/Bigster SUV, Nissan will be introducing its own 7-seater SUV based on the Tekton. However, it will be a completely differentiated product instead of just being a 7-seater version of the Tekton. This has been confirmed by Nissan Indias managing director, Saurabh Vatsa.

Nissan is yet to reveal the name of its upcoming 7-seater C-SUV. It will be based on the CMF-B platform, just like Tekton. A longer wheelbase is expected to accommodate the additional seats, along with some mechanical and design changes as well.

To make its updated portfolio easily accessible to a larger audience, Nissan is working to expand its dealer network across India. From the existing 150 showrooms, the plan is to increase the count to 200 showrooms. Nissan is aiming to achieve this goal before the launch of the Tekton SUV. By 2027 when prices are announced for the 7-seat SUV, Nissan is aiming to further increase its dealer network count to 250. Hiring of sales and service personnel will also be increased over the next two years.
