Top 5 Things We Love About The Nissan Tekton

In 2026, Nissan has brought their big guns to India with the Tekton and has given their best shot in entering the fiercely competitive compact SUV segment in India. Though closely related to the Renault Duster, Nissan has brought in their flair of distinctive styling for the exterior and interior. The Duster being a good product already, the Tekton carries the positives of the French SUV, which in itself is a strong place to begin with.

Styling Inspired From the Prized Patrol

The styling of the Nissan Tekton is inspired by the popular Nissan Patrol sold globally.

The square-shaped LED DRLs and the boxy styling harks to the Patrol’s butch SUV design character. The Tekton arrives in a well-established segment in the market. And standing out with bold styling should do the job of grabbing the attention of people looking for an SUV for themselves.

A Driver’s Delight!

Based on Renault’s RGMP platform, the Tekton is a car which drives like a European. And that is praise which few products get.

The Renault Duster had already been popular for being fun to drive and having great suspension for Indian roads. The Tekton follows the same philosophy. The ground clearance of a generous 212 mm doesn’t upset the dynamics of the Tekton while maintaining confidence on bad roads as well. 

India And Their Love For Features…

It is no secret that to win half of an Indian’s heart is to pack in features and tech. And Nissan has got that in check. Their Tekton comes with features like a panoramic sunroof, giving the cabin an airy experience.

The 10.1-inch Google-integrated touchscreen infotainment with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay helps make the interface seamless, and the native Google Maps is a boon if you can’t connect your phone. Another feature which most cars in the segment don’t get is 6-way powered adjustability, and ventilated front seats leave you hardly any excuse for more comfort. 

There’s One Tekton For Everyone

You like the new Tekton? Well, choosing the right variant is not much of a hassle since it is not spread out to too many variants or editions like some other competitors. Nor is it sparse for options, which makes it easy to pick the right variant of the Tekton.

The Base Visia variant comes loaded with features enough to make you feel comfortable and satisfied. While the top-end variant doesn’t make you feel short-changed for the asking price as well. 

Well-Within Budget

The Tekton range starts at Rs 10.49 lakh ex-showroom, which can grab the attention of those shopping in the sub-4 metre SUV segment as well. Given the number of options in the segment and the diverse competition, having an attractive price tag matters a lot, and Nissan seems to be well aware of it with the Tekton.

Given so many options in the segment, Nissan has made sure to price the Tekton, making it tough to reject.

ZigSays..

The Nissan Tekton sits in a diverse segment which has SUVs of different tastes. The Tekton leans towards the taste of someone who likes to spend most of their time on the driver’s seat. The turbo petrol engines on offer provide enough umph for city driving and long-distance mile-munching. 

While the interiors don’t scream high-tech, the Tekton packs in more than enough features to keep you in comfort and has the modern safety tech for a reasonably well-priced asking price.
