Nissan Tekton India Reveal in February 2026: What to Expect
Nissan is set to accelerate its product strategy in India with the upcoming reveal of the Nissan Tekton, a new compact SUV scheduled for its official debut in February 2026. This model serves as a cornerstone of Nissan’s comeback plans for the Indian market, positioning itself between the Magnite and the flagship X-Trail.
Design Inspired by the Iconic Patrol
The 2026 Tekton SUV draws heavy design inspiration from the brand’s legendary Nissan Patrol. Enthusiasts can expect a boxy, muscular silhouette complemented by a bold front grille and C-shaped LED lighting signatures that provide a commanding road presence.
A standout design element is the “Double-C” shaped accent located on the front doors. This detail features a subtle mountain range motif inspired by the Himalayas, underscoring that the vehicle was developed specifically with the Indian market in mind.

The Tekton is built on the CMF-B modular platform from the Renault-Nissan alliance. This is the same architecture that will underpin the next-generation Renault Duster.
- Length: Approximately 4.3 metres.

Engine and Performance Options
Nissan is likely to offer the Tekton with multiple petrol-based powertrains.
