Overview
- Nissan unveiled the Tekton at a global premiere in Mumbai and opened bookings after announcing prices from ₹10.49 lakh to ₹18.59 lakh, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin on July 20.
- Production will take place at Renault’s Chennai plant under the Renault-Nissan Alliance, and Nissan plans to export the model to about 50 markets, including countries in Africa, the Middle East and the GCC.
- The Tekton rides on the CMF-B architecture shared with the Renault Duster and launches with two turbo‑petrol engines (1.0L 100 hp and 1.3L 163 hp), six-speed manual or seven‑speed DCT options, Google-built connectivity and Level‑2 ADAS on higher trims; Nissan has not added a hybrid for this model.
- Nissan Motor India has set ambitious targets tied to the Tekton, aiming for 100,000 domestic sales and 100,000 exports annually by FY2027-28 and expanding its dealer network rapidly to support volume growth.
- The company activated a high-profile marketing push, naming Hrithik Roshan as brand ambassador and offering introductory finance and exchange incentives, a move that could pressure rivals and boost Nissan’s retail footprint while the firm delays any India EV decision until around 2028.
