Overview
- Several outlets published production‑spec rear images on Monday that appear to come from a TV commercial shoot and show a full‑width LED light bar, TEKTON badging and a revised bumper design.
- The Tekton is built on Renault’s CMF‑B platform shared with the new Duster, but Nissan has given it distinct exterior and interior styling to create a separate ‘baby Patrol’ identity.
- Reports converge on an initial engine range of 1.0‑litre and 1.3‑litre turbo petrol units with manual and automatic options, though those powertrain details are reported and not officially confirmed.
- Multiple outlets say Nissan plans a strong hybrid using a 1.8‑litre‑based system for the Tekton after launch, with timing reported for early 2027 but not yet formally announced by Nissan.
- Nissan will reveal full specifications, pricing and production plans at the global debut on July 9, with the model expected to be built in Chennai and aimed above the Magnite to compete in the midsize SUV segment.
