Nissan Motor India has unveiled the All-New Tekton, its upcoming C-SUV, signaling a potential shift in India’s mid-size SUV segment. Drawing design inspiration from the iconic Nissan Patrol, the Tekton combines bold aesthetics, premium craftsmanship, and advanced technology. The vehicle’s name, “Tekton,” derived from Greek meaning “craftsman” or “architect,” highlights Nissan’s focus on precision engineering and innovation tailored to modern Indian consumers.
As the second product under Nissan’s “One Car, One World” strategy, the Tekton will be manufactured at the Chennai plant in partnership with Renault, serving both domestic and selected export markets. Key features include a sculpted bonnet, muscular side profile, C-shaped headlamps, rear illuminated lightbar, and subtle mountain-inspired accents on the front doors, delivering both commanding presence and modern functionality. Industry analysts view the launch as part of Nissan’s strategy to strengthen its market share in the competitive C-SUV segment, which continues to see rising consumer demand across urban and semi-urban markets.
Local dealerships have reported growing interest among SUV buyers, particularly among young professionals and families seeking premium, reliable vehicles. Pre-launch inquiries suggest promising sales potential, reflecting the increasing adoption of mid-size SUVs in Northeast India. Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director of Nissan India, emphasized, “The All-New Tekton is a strategic model for Nissan, combining design, technology, and market responsiveness to drive growth across India and international markets.”
