Tata Sierra powertrains and rivals
The Sierra is offered with three engine options. The first is a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine that produces 160hp and 255Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. There’s also a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with peak outputs of 106hp and 145Nm, available with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Lastly, the 1.5-litre diesel engine develops 118hp and is offered with a 6-speed manual (260Nm) or a 6-speed automatic (280Nm).
After several delays, Nissan has finally launched the Tekton in India. The SUV is the carmaker’s version of the Renault Duster, featuring a few design changes while sharing the same underpinnings. Competing with the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra, Maruti Grand Vitara and more, here’s everything you should know about Nissan’s new midsize SUV contender.
Is the Nissan Tekton pricier than the Renault Duster?
The Tekton range starts at Rs 10.49 lakh, ex-showroom, similar to the Duster. At the entry level, the Tekton is priced on par with the Duster and is among the most affordable midsize SUVs, with only the MG Astor and Citroen Aircross costing less. The Maruti Victoris follows with a premium of just Rs 1,000, while the Maruti Grand Vitara, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, Toyota Hyryder and Honda Elevate are all priced higher.
At the top end, the Tekton costs Rs 10,000 more than the Duster at Rs 18.59 lakh. Even then, it’s still cheaper than the Seltos, Creta, Sierra, Hyryder, Victoris, and Grand Vitara. The Aircross remains the most affordable midsize SUV by a wide margin.
When will the Nissan Tekton hybrid launch in India
As we have exclusively reported before, the Tekton will not be adding a hybrid powertrain option. Renault will be keeping the Horse Powertrain-derived strong hybrid system exclusive for the Duster, positioning it as a key competitive advantage in the increasingly crowded midsize SUV space.
The Tekton offers a choice between 100hp 1-litre and 163hp 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine options. A 6-speed manual gearbox is standard, but an automatic gearbox, a 6-speed dual-clutch unit in this case, is offered with the more powerful mill only.
What is the fuel-efficiency of the Nissan Tekton?
Powertrain
Claimed fuel efficiency (kpl)
100hp 1L turbo-petrol 6MT
19.41
163hp 1.3L turbo-petrol 6MT
17.8
163hp 1.3L turbo-petrol 6DCT
18.5
Evidently, the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol paired with a manual gearbox delivers the highest efficiency at 19.41kpl in the line-up. The 1.3-litre turbo-petrol returns 18.5kpl with the dual-clutch automatic and 17.8kpl with the manual gearbox. Since the powertrains are shared between the Nissan and Renault badge-engineered SUVs, their claimed fuel-efficiency figures are similar.
Is the Nissan Tekton larger in overall size than its rivals?
The Tekton shares its height, wheelbase, ground clearance and wheel size options with the Duster. It is, however, 6mm longer and 2mm wider due to its different styling. Compared to its midsize SUV rivals, the Tekton is longer than the Sierra, Creta, Grand Vitara, Kushaq, Taigun, Elevate, Astor and Aircross. However, it falls short of the Seltos by 111mm, the Hyryder by 16mm and the Victoris by 11mm. When it comes to wheelbase, the Sierra leads the segment, followed by the Seltos, Aircross, and then the Tekton.
The Nissan SUV’s 212mm ground clearance is the second-highest in the segment after the Elevate. It also shares the largest 518-litre boot capacity in the segment with the Duster.
Does the Nissan Tekton have a spacious interior?
Its front seats are supportive and well-cushioned, and they also feature electric adjustment and ventilation. The rear seat is comfortable for two adults, while a third passenger can fit in. However, the limited shoulder room and the transmission hump make it less comfortable for three occupants over longer journeys.
At the rear, there’s enough kneeroom and plenty of headroom for six-footers. The large panoramic sunroof and windows make the cabin feel airy. Rear passengers also get a centre armrest with cup holders, dedicated AC vents and charging ports.
Which Nissan Tekton variant should you buy?
The N-Connecta trim, priced between Rs 13.69 lakh and Rs 16.49 lakh, ex-showroom, is our pick of the Tekton range. It packs a good mix of features, including a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, 18-inch alloy wheels, wireless charger a six-speaker sound system and more. Buyers also get a choice between the two turbo-petrol engine options, along with their respective manual and automatic gearbox pairings.
Higher Tekton trims add features like Google integration for the touchscreen, ventilated front seats, MyNISSAN connected car tech, powered tailgate, 360-degree camera, Level 2 ADAS and more.

On the wheelbase front, though, the Sierra comes out on top, followed by the Seltos, Aircross, and then the Tekton and Duster. The Tekton claws back some points in the ground clearance department, with its 212mm figure ranking the second-highest among its rivals, beaten only by the Elevate. The Tekton and Duster also have the largest boot capacities in the midsize SUV segment. Lastly, the Tekton’s wheel sizes are competitive by class standards, with the Sierra being the only one to offer 19-inch wheels.

*Renault Duster hybrid to be launched by Diwali 2026.
^DHT = Dedicated Hybrid Transmission
Expectedly, the Tekton comes with the same 100hp 1.0-litre MPFI and 163hp 1.3-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol engines available with the Duster. The latter engine is the most powerful in its segment, despite being down on displacement compared to the 1.5-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol mills offered for the Creta, Sierra, Seltos, Kushaq, and Taigun.
However, the Tekton’s smaller 3-cylinder turbo-petrol motor is up to 15hp weaker compared to those of the Taigun, Kushaq, and Aircross. There’s no CNG, or naturally aspirated petrol engine option available with the Tekton, either, putting it out of direct contention with the likes of the Grand Vitara, Victoris, Elevate, Astor, and Hyryder, nor does the Nissan SUV offer a diesel engine, which many midsize SUV buyers prefer.
Moreover, despite the shared platform, the Tekton will miss out on the 1.8-litre strong hybrid powertrain that will debut on the Duster later this year. Renault will keep the hybrid option exclusive to the Duster as the French carmaker spearheaded the development of the platform and wants to position the SUV higher up the value chain.
In terms of gearbox options, the Tekton is identical to the Duster. The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is paired solely with a 6-speed manual, whereas the 1.3-litre mill additionally offers a 6-speed wet-clutch DCT. Compared to the dry-clutch DCTs offered by the Creta, Seltos, Taigun, and Kushaq, the Tekton’s wet-clutch unit should be smoother at slow speeds.
The Tekton is a front-wheel drive model only, which is par for the course for this segment. Only the Victoris and Grand Vitara offer all-wheel drive, that too with their 1.5 petrol AT powertrains.

When it comes to starting price, the Tekton matches the Duster and is one of the most affordable midsize SUVs at the base level, beaten only by the Astor and Aircross. The Victoris comes next with a near-negligible Rs 1,000 premium over the Tekton, followed by the Kushaq, Grand Vitara, Creta, Seltos, Taigun, Hyryder, Sierra, and Elevate, in that order.
The Tekton does cost Rs 10,000 more than the Duster when comparing top-spec variants, but even so, it’s substantially easier on the pocket than the likes of the Seltos, Creta, Sierra, Hyryder, Victoris, and Grand Vitara. The Aircross remains the most affordable midsize SUV by a long shot.
Nissan has finally launched its version of the Renault Duster, the Tekton. While the two midsize SUVs share the same mechanical underpinnings, they slightly differ in terms of design. Interestingly, this isn’t Nissan’s first take on the Duster, as the brand had previously sold the Terrano. In this feature, we take a closer look at how the Tekton differs from the Renault SUV, both inside and out.
Nissan Tekton vs Renault Duster: Exterior
Nissan claims that the Tekton’s design is inspired by the Patrol flagship SUV, which lends it a more squared-off appearance than the Renault Duster. While the overall silhouette is similar, the Tekton separates itself with slimmer LED headlights, connected by a light bar. Even the C-shaped design of the DRLs is different from the Duster’s eyebrow-shaped units. Nissan has opted for a traditional front grille with the logo in the centre, while the ‘TEKTON’ lettering is present on the bonnet. Another standout for the Tekton comes in the form of a red strip, which flanks the logo on the grille. The Renault SUV, meanwhile, places the ‘DUSTER’ lettering on the grille. Tweaks have also been made to the front bumper of the Tekton, with lesser use of silver-finished trims.
In profile, details like a multi-spoke design for the 18-inch alloy wheels, variant-specific badging with C-shaped graphics on the front fenders and silver-finished roof rails make the Tekton stand out. A good dose of cladding over the wheel arches and under the doors, pull-type door handles at the front and C-pillar-mounted ones at the rear and shark-fin antenna are common between the two.
Unlike the triangular tail-lamps of the Duster, the Tekton opts for a C-shaped signature, which is a nod to the Patrol. This signature also trickles down to silver trims on the rear bumper.
Nissan Tekton vs Renault Duster: Interior
Inside, the top-spec Tekton features a dual-tone rose gold and burgundy upholstery, instead of the Duster’s black-and-green theme. Further distinction is made by gold finished inserts on the three-spoke steering wheels, dashboard, centre console and door handles.
Speaking of features, both pack a similar set of features, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger and 6-way adjustable and ventilated front seats. Safety suite includes 6 airbags, Level 2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera with blind-spot assist, an electronic parking brake and front and rear parking sensors. Like the Duster, the Nissan has received a full five-star crash safety rating from the Bharat NCAP.
Nissan Tekton vs Renault Duster: Powertrains
Like the Duster, the Tekton comes with 100hp 1-litre and 163hp 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine options. Similarly, a 6-speed manual gearbox is on offer with both engines, but an automatic gearbox – a 7-speed DCT in this case – is limited to the more powerful mill. Even the mileage figures of these powertrain options are similar, as can be seen in the table below. As we had exclsuively reported earlier, the Tekton will not receive the 160hp 1.8-litre strong-hybrid powertrain, set to be introduced with the Duster by Diwali.
Nissan Tekton vs Renault Duster claimed fuel-efficiency (kpl)
After teasing it for some time now, Nissan has launched the Tekton midsize SUV at Rs 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom). It is Nissan’s badge-engineered version of the Renault Duster and is being offered in six trims: Visia, Visia+, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, and Tekna+. Bookings for the midsize SUV are open, and deliveries start on July 20.

2026 Nissan Tekton: Powertrain details
Offered with two turbo-petrol engine options
The Nissan Tekton shares its powertrains with the Renault Duster, offering two turbo-petrol engine options. The entry-level 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol develops 100hp and 166Nm of torque and comes paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Higher up the range, the 1.3-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol produces 163hp and 280Nm, and is available with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT).
Nissan claims that the 1.0-litre engine does a 0-100kph sprint in 12.46 seconds, and has a claimed range of 19.4kpl. The manual version of the larger 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine does a 0-100kph run in 9.51 seconds and has a fuel efficiency of 17.8kpl. The DCT version claims a 9.89-second 0-100kph time and a fuel efficiency of 18.5kpl.
As reported earlier, the Duster’s 160hp, 1.8-litre strong hybrid engine will not make its way to the Tekton. On the Duster, however, this engine will debut during the festive season.
2026 Nissan Tekton: Exterior design
Gets Patrol-like design elements that make it look boxier than the Duster
The Tekton’s front-end design is heavily inspired by the Patrol, lending it a more squared-off appearance than the Renault Duster. It gets an upright grille featuring twin chrome slats flanked by slim LED headlamps. A full-width C-shaped LED daytime running light connects the two headlamps. There’s a red strip underneath the headlamps. The bonnet gets pronounced creases and carries Tekton lettering. The lower bumper features a dual-tone finish with a faux silver skid plate and LED fog lamps.
In profile, the Tekton has a Duster-like silhouette. However, Nissan has differentiated it with a new design for the 18-inch alloy wheels. It gets flared wheel arches and a distinctive silver trim insert on the front doors. The front doors use conventional pull-type handles, while the rear doors have integrated handles on the C-pillars.
At the rear, the Tekton features a full-width LED light bar integrated into C-shaped tail-lamps, mirroring the lighting treatment at the front. A roof-mounted spoiler sits above the upright tailgate, while the lower bumper adopts the same dual-tone finish with a silver skid plate insert seen up front. Unlike the Duster, the tailgate is finished in a single body colour rather than a contrasting black panel, resulting in a cleaner-looking design. There’s also a Tekton lettering on the tailgate.
Here are the dimensions of the Nissan Tekton:

2026 Nissan Tekton: Interior design and features
Offered with a dual-tone rose gold and burgundy cabin theme
Inside, the top-spec Nissan Tekton features a dual-tone rose gold and burgundy dashboard with a 3-spoke steering wheel, a 10.1-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display. The seats have leatherette upholstery and offer adjustable headrests for all passengers.
Other features include a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, a powered tailgate, and 6-way adjustable and ventilated front seats. Safety features include 6 airbags, Level-2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), a 360-degree camera with blind-spot assist, an electronic parking brake, and front and rear parking sensors. As it is based on the Renault Duster, it gets a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating. Nissan says that it is capable of achieving a 5-star Global NCAP rating.
Upcoming SUVs India: अगर आप इस महीने नई कार खरीदने की सोच रहे हैं, तो थोड़ा और इंतजार करना फायदेमंद हो सकता है। दरअसल, कई ऑटो कंपनियां नई SUV लॉन्च करने, मौजूदा मॉडल को अपडेट करने और लग्जरी गाड़ियां लॉन्च करने की तैयारी में हैं, जिससे खरीदारों को अलग-अलग कीमतों में कई नए वेरिएंट चुनने का मौका मिलेगा। अब चलिए जानते हैं आने वाली इन 5 नई कारों के फीचर्स के बारे में।
Nissan Tekton
निसान भारतीय बाजार में अपनी नई मिड-साइज SUV Nissan Tekton को लॉन्च करने की तैयारी कर रही है। उम्मीद है कि यह SUV हाल के वर्षों में ब्रांड के सबसे अहम प्रोडक्ट्स में से एक होगी और Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Honda Elevate, Renault Duster और Tata Sierra जैसे मॉडल्स वाले सबसे ज्यादा कॉम्पिटिशन वाले सेगमेंट में मुकाबला करेगी। इंजन की बात करें तो, इस SUV में 1.3-लीटर टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन दिया जा सकता है, जो मैनुअल और ऑटोमैटिक ट्रांसमिशन दोनों ऑप्शन के साथ आ सकता है।
Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift
Brezza लॉन्च होने के बाद से ही भारत की पसंदीदा कॉम्पैक्ट SUV में से एक रही है, और ऐसा लगता है कि Maruti Suzuki इस महीने इसे बड़े पैमाने पर अपडेट (मिड-साइकिल रीवैम्प) करने की योजना बना रही है। नई Brezza में कुछ कॉस्मेटिक बदलाव, इंटीरियर में सुधार और नए फीचर्स मिलने की उम्मीद है। इसमें 1.5-लीटर नैचुरली एस्पिरेटेड पेट्रोल इंजन के साथ 1.0-लीटर टर्बो पेट्रोल इंजन मिल सकता है। इसके अलावा, इसमें नया अंडरबॉडी CNG टैंक दिया जा सकता है, जिससे सामान रखने के लिए ज्यादा बूट स्पेस मिलेगा। इसे मैनुअल और ऑटोमैटिक ट्रांसमिशन दोनों विकल्पों के साथ पेश किए जाने की उम्मीद है। नई Brezza का मुकाबला Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Hyundai Venue और Skoda Kylaq जैसी कारों से जारी रहेगा।
Honda ZR-V Hybrid
Honda भारत में अपनी नई प्रीमियम SUV Honda ZR-V Hybrid को लॉन्च करने की तैयारी कर रही है। इसे Completely Built Unit (CBU) के तौर पर भारत लाया जाएगा। यह SUV कंपनी की मौजूदा Honda Elevate से ऊपर की पोजिशन पर होगी और Honda के SUV पोर्टफोलियो को मजबूत करेगी।
Honda ZR-V Hybrid में कंपनी की e:HEV स्ट्रॉन्ग हाइब्रिड टेक्नोलॉजी दी जाएगी। यह SUV करीब 40 लाख रुपये के सेगमेंट में आने की उम्मीद है और यह उन ग्राहकों को टारगेट करेगी जो प्रीमियम SUV खरीदना चाहते हैं। इंजन की बात करें तो, इसमें 2.0 लीटर स्ट्रॉन्ग-हाइब्रिड पेट्रोल इंजन मिलेगा, जिसे e-CVT ऑटोमैटिक ट्रांसमिशन के साथ जोड़ा जाएगा।
भारतीय बाजार में इसका मुकाबला Volkswagen Tiguan, Volkswagen Tayron, Skoda Kodiaq और Jeep Meridian जैसी प्रीमियम SUVs से होगा।
2026 Toyota Hilux
2026 Toyota Hilux नए डिजाइन, बेहतर इंटीरियर और ज्यादा एडवांस टेक्नोलॉजी के साथ आने वाली है। हालांकि, इसमें पहले जैसी मजबूत और दमदार पिकअप ट्रक वाली पहचान बरकरार रहेगी। यह गाड़ी उन ग्राहकों को पसंद आ सकती है, जो एक मजबूत और भरोसेमंद पिकअप ट्रक की तलाश में हैं। इसमें 2.8 लीटर टर्बो-डीजल इंजन मिलने की उम्मीद है।
इस SUV में इंजन के साथ 6-स्पीड मैनुअल और 6-स्पीड ऑटोमैटिक गियरबॉक्स के विकल्प दिए जा सकते हैं। इसके अलावा, इसमें फोर-व्हील ड्राइव (4WD) सिस्टम भी मिलने की संभावना है, जो इसे ऑफ-रोड ड्राइविंग के लिए बेहतर बनाएगा।
Wuling Starlight 560 पर आधारित JSW-MG SUV
उम्मीद है कि JSW MG Motor India इस महीने के आखिर में थ्री-रो वाली एक नई SUV पेश करेगी, जो शायद दुनिया भर में बिकने वाली Wuling Starlight 560 पर आधारित होगी। इस मॉडल में सात सीटों वाला केबिन, बड़ी टचस्क्रीन और पैनोरमिक सनरूफ होने की उम्मीद है। इसे या तो 1.5-लीटर प्लग-इन हाइब्रिड (195 hp, 1,000 km से ज्यादा की क्लेम्ड रेंज) या 69.2 kWh ऑल-इलेक्ट्रिक पावरट्रेन (201 hp, 530 km तक की CLTC रेंज) के साथ पेश किया जा सकता है।
If you’re in the market for an electric midsize SUV priced around Rs 20 lakh, there are plenty of options to choose from. However, today we’ll be looking at the mid-spec Tata Sierra EV with the 63kWh battery, which starts at Rs 20.99 lakh, and the top-spec Maruti e Vitara with the 61kWh battery, priced at Rs 19.99 lakh. Let’s find out how these two midsize SUVs match up when pitted against each other in terms of their dimensions, technical specifications, features and price.

These are all safety equipment that the Sierra EV offers as well. However, the e Vitara comes with 7 airbags, while the Sierra EV gets the usual 6. Both models get surround-view cameras, front & rear parking sensors, an SOS calling function and an electronic parking brake with auto-hold.

In terms of battery size, the Sierra EV’s mid-spec variant possess a capacity advantage of 2kWh over the top-spec e Vitara. However, it’s the Maruti EV that manages more range – albeit the difference here is minimal. The Sierra EV’s rear-mounted electric motor is also punchier, offering 64hp and 122Nm more than the e Vitara’s peak output figures.
While both cars are equipped with a single electric motor, the Sierra’s unit powers the rear wheels instead of the front ones. This also means that the Sierra EV should be able to put its power down better than the front-wheel-drive e Vitara, especially on inclines or when the vehicle’s fully loaded. Tata Motors hasn’t specified the 0-100kph time of the mid-spec Sierra EV, but Maruti Suzuki claims that the top-spec e Vitara can do it in 8.7 seconds.
Both Sierra EV and e Vitara support similar AC charging speeds, thus requiring a comparable amount of time to go from 10-100 percent SoC. However, the Tata SUV is capable of accepting higher DC fast-charging rates, which allows it to reach 80 percent SoC ahead of the e Vitara. That said, the Maruti EV DC charging time accounts for the time taken for the battery to go from 10-80 percent, instead of the Sierra EV’s 20-80 percent.
Conclusion
The top-spec Maruti e Vitara Alpha variant is priced at Rs 20.00 lakh, while the mid-spec Tata Sierra EV 63 Adventure variant is priced at Rs 20.99 lakh. While the e Vitara offers 7 airbags and a little extra claimed range, the Sierra EV with the 63kWh battery pack and in the Adventure trim offers better value overall. It has more power, larger dimensions and a lengthy list of features – all of which make the Tata Sierra EV a better value-for-money buy here.
Nissan 9 जुलाई को अपनी बिल्कुल नई SUV Tekton ग्लोबल लेवल पर पेश कर सकती है, जिससे इसकी वापसी भारत के तेजी से बढ़ते मिड-साइज SUV सेगमेंट में होगी। वहीं, ग्लोबल लॉन्च से पहले जापानी कार कंपनी ने Nissan Tekton के कुछ ऑफिशियल टीजर जारी किए हैं। इसके अलावा कई स्पाई शॉट्स भी सामने आए हैं, जिनसे SUV के डिजाइन और फीचर्स से जुड़ी कुछ जानकारियां सामने आई हैं।
उम्मीद है कि Nissan Tekton के प्लेटफॉर्म और मैकेनिकल पार्ट्स Renault Duster जैसे ही होंगे। इसके अलावा, यह SUV भारतीय बाजार में Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder और Maruti Suzuki Victoris से मुकाबला करेगी।
हालांकि भारत में निसान टेक्टॉन की लॉन्च की तारीख का अभी ऐलान नहीं हुआ है, लेकिन उम्मीद है कि ग्लोबल डेब्यू के कुछ महीनों के अंदर ही यह SUV देश में आ जाएगी।
Nissan Patrol से प्रेरित डिजाइन
Nissan Tekton का डिजाइन कंपनी की खास SUV, Nissan Patrol से काफी मिलता-जुलता है, इसलिए इसे अक्सर ‘Baby Patrol’ कहा जाता है। वहीं, SUV के ऑफिशियल टीजर से इसके बोल्ड फ्रंट लुक का पता चलता है, जिसमें Nissan की सिग्नेचर ग्रिल, C-शेप के LED हेडलैंप और ऊंचा व मजबूत स्टांस देखने को मिलता है।
हाल ही में आई स्पाई तस्वीरों से SUV के पिछले हिस्से के डिजाइन का भी पता चला है। नई तस्वीर में कनेक्टेड LED टेललैंप दिख रहे हैं, जो काफी हद तक Renault Duster जैसे हैं, हालांकि इनकी लाइटिंग स्टाइल में थोड़ा बदलाव किया गया है। अपनी Renault सिस्टर कार की तरह, इस SUV के टेलगेट पर बड़े अक्षरों में ‘TEKTON’ लिखा है, जबकि पिछले बंपर का डिजाइन ज्यादा साफ-सुथरा और सिंपल है।
कुल मिलाकर, Duster के साथ अपना प्लेटफॉर्म शेयर करने के बावजूद, इस SUV में Nissan का खास स्टाइल बरकरार रहने की उम्मीद है।
अनुमानित फीचर्स
Nissan ने अभी तक पूरी इक्विपमेंट लिस्ट का खुलासा नहीं किया है, लेकिन उम्मीद है कि टेक्टॉन में कई तरह के फीचर्स का पैकेज मिलेगा।
अनुमान के मुताबिक, Tekton में बड़ा टचस्क्रीन इंफोटेनमेंट सिस्टम, पूरी तरह डिजिटल इंस्ट्रूमेंट क्लस्टर, कनेक्टेड कार टेक्नोलॉजी, वायरलेस फोन चार्जिंग, वेंटिलेटेड फ्रंट सीट्स, ऑटोमैटिक क्लाइमेट कंट्रोल, कई ड्राइव मोड्स और पैनोरमिक सनरूफ जैसे फीचर्स मिल सकते हैं।
सेफ्टी के मामले में भी यह SUV काफी मजबूत हो सकती है। इसमें 6 एयरबैग, 360-डिग्री कैमरा और एडवांस्ड ड्राइवर असिस्टेंस सिस्टम (ADAS) जैसे फीचर्स मिलने की उम्मीद है।
इंजन विकल्प (अनुमानित)
उम्मीद है कि Nissan Tekton का पावरट्रेन लाइन-अप Renault Duster जैसा ही होगा।
इसके एंट्री-लेवल वेरिएंट में 1.0-लीटर टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन मिल सकता है, जो 100 PS की पावर और 160 Nm का टॉर्क देगा। इसे छह-स्पीड मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स के साथ जोड़ा जाएगा।
वहीं, इसके टॉप वेरिएंट्स में 1.3-लीटर टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन मिलने की उम्मीद है, जो 163 PS की पावर और 280 Nm का टॉर्क देगा। इस इंजन के साथ छह-स्पीड मैनुअल और छह-स्पीड डुअल-क्लच ऑटोमैटिक ट्रांसमिशन, दोनों विकल्प मिलने की संभावना है। दोनों पेट्रोल इंजन E20 फ्यूल के अनुकूल हैं।
इसके अलावा, इस SUV में Renault का Strong Hybrid E-Tech 160 पावरट्रेन भी मिलने की उम्मीद है। इसमें 1.8-लीटर पेट्रोल इंजन के साथ 1.4 kWh का बैटरी पैक दिया गया है, जो कुल मिलाकर 160 PS की पावर और 172 Nm का टॉर्क देता है। साथ ही, यह शहर में गाड़ी चलाते समय काफी हद तक सिर्फ इलेक्ट्रिक मोड पर चलने की सुविधा भी देता है।
प्रोडक्शन, अनुमानित कीमत और भारत में लॉन्च
Nissan Tekton को चेन्नई में Renault-Nissan Alliance प्लांट में बनाया जाएगा, जो घरेलू और एक्सपोर्ट दोनों मार्केट के लिए गाड़ियां बनाता है। हालांकि, कंपनी ने अभी तक इसकी आधिकारिक कीमत का ऐलान नहीं किया है, लेकिन भारत में Nissan Tekton की कीमत 10 लाख रुपये से 20 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) के बीच होने की उम्मीद है। वहीं इसकी लॉन्च कीमत, या भारत में Tekton की कीमत, इसके मार्केट में आने के समय के आस-पास कन्फर्म की जाएगी।
9 जुलाई को होने वाली अनवीलिंग (पहली झलक) से इसके स्पेसिफिकेशन्स और इंटरनेशनल लॉन्च प्लान के बारे में और जानकारी मिलेगी। हालांकि Nissan ने अभी तक भारत में Nissan Tekton की लॉन्च डेट कन्फर्म नहीं की है, लेकिन उम्मीद है कि ग्लोबल डेब्यू के बाद यह SUV देश के मिड-साइज SUV सेगमेंट में Nissan की लंबे समय बाद वापसी को दर्शाएगी।
कॉम्पिटिटिव कीमत, कई पावरट्रेन ऑप्शन और बेहतरीन फीचर्स के साथ, Tekton के हाल के वर्षों में Nissan India के सबसे अहम नए लॉन्च में से एक बनने की उम्मीद है।
