Nissan previews all-new Tekton

MANILA: Nissan has previewed the all-new Tekton, which will be formally revealed next year.

In a statement, the Japanese automaker said that the C-sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment’s design will be the second product under Nissan Motor India’s ‘One Car, One World’ strategy — created in collaboration with Renault at the Chennai facility.

Coined from a Greek word meaning "craftsman" or "architect,” the aforementioned model is expected to compete against the likes of the Toyota Corolla Cross, Kia Seltos, and Honda HR-V — among others.

Here are some details about the soon-to-be-introduced Nissan Tekton.

Vehicle specifications

Per Nissan, its design inspiration for the Tekton is the Patrol — bold and robust aesthetics, premium craftsmanship and loaded with technological features.

At the fore is a sculpted hood and C-shaped head lamp signature complementing the chunky bumper.

To its side are the double-C shaped accent for its front door and a subtle mountain range motif inspired by the Himalayas.

For its rear, the vehicle gets a red illuminated lightbar that connects to the “C-shaped” tail-lamps — with a large Tekton nameplate displayed across the tailgate.

"The all-new Nissan Tekton draws its design inspiration from our legendary Nissan Patrol. It is designed to disrupt, dominate, and deliver everything today’s modern consumer desires. Imposing, stylish, and built to set a new benchmark in India and beyond, the design and build quality are distinctly Nissan—embodying the best of Nissan’s SUV DNA,” Nissan Motor Company Corporate Executive Alfonso Albaisa said.

Meanwhile, Nissan Motor India Managing Director Saurabh Vatsa shared that the Tekton will be at the center of the company’s recovery story while “offering a glimpse into the future of our product portfolio in the country.”

“With its commanding stance, bold looks and premium interiors, we are confident that it will be a segment disruptor, appealing to customers seeking a robust yet refined C-SUV. This model will spearhead Nissan’s growth story in India," the executive mentioned.

Further details, which include confirmation of the specific export markets, will be provided in a future announcement.
