Overview

• Heavily camouflaged prototypes of Nissan’s mid-size SUV have been spotted testing on Indian roads, confirming its imminent entry into the C-segment market.
• The model uses the Renault Duster’s CMF-B+ platform, which will be heavily localised for production at Nissan’s Tamil Nadu facility.
• Spy shots reveal key Nissan styling elements, including flared wheel arches, five-spoke alloy wheels, a sculpted bonnet, C-shaped bumper inserts and a bold, centrally badged grille.
• Nissan plans to open sales by mid-2026 with a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine rated at around 152 bhp and 250 Nm mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, followed by hybrid and CNG variants.
• A full-engineered seven-seater based on the Renault Bigster is also due in 2027, not as a simple plus-two version but as a dedicated model.
