Overview
- Nissan opened bookings for the Tekton this week and will begin deliveries from July 20, with ex‑showroom prices set from ₹10.49 lakh to ₹18.59 lakh.
- The Tekton uses the Renault Duster platform and wears Patrol‑inspired styling that Nissan markets as a 'baby Patrol' to set it apart visually.
- India will get only turbo‑petrol powertrains: a 1.0‑litre T160 and a 1.3‑litre T280 that makes 163 PS and 280 Nm, with claimed fuel economy of about 19.4 kmpl for the 1.0 MT, 18.5 kmpl for the 1.3 MT, and 17.8 kmpl for the 1.3 DCT.
- Nissan stresses safety and tech: the Tekton scored five stars in Bharat NCAP, comes standard with six airbags, more than 40 safety items and 17+ ADAS functions such as adaptive cruise, AEB, lane‑keep assist and blind‑spot monitoring.
- Nissan positions the Tekton as a value and performance alternative to models like the Hyundai Creta by offering higher torque and a feature‑rich base Visia trim, plus early‑buyer financial incentives for the first customers.
