• Design inspired by the legendary Nissan Patrol
• The second SUV under India’s “One Car, One World” strategy
• Crafted to disrupt, dominate, and deliver for customers in India and beyond
GURUGRAM, October 7, 2025 — Nissan Motor India has officially revealed the name and first design preview of its upcoming global SUV: the All-New Nissan Tekton.
A Name That Embodies Craft and Innovation
Derived from the Greek word “Tekton,” meaning “craftsman” or “architect,” the name perfectly captures Nissan’s ethos of precision, innovation, and purposeful design. It symbolizes a C-segment SUV crafted for those who are shaping their own world—whether through ambition, creativity, or lifestyle.
The Tekton represents Nissan’s latest step in its “One Car, One World” strategy. It will be the second SUV developed and manufactured in collaboration with Renault at the Chennai plant, for both the Indian market and select global exports starting in 2026.
Design Inspired by a Legend
The Tekton’s design draws inspiration from Nissan’s most iconic and longest-running SUV, the Nissan Patrol, known for its commanding road presence and go-anywhere capability.
At the front, the Tekton features a powerfully sculpted bonnet, bold C-shaped LED headlamps, and a muscular bumper, creating a strong and assertive look that reflects the brand’s SUV DNA.
Along the sides, a wide, athletic stance defines its silhouette, enhanced by a unique ‘Double-C’ door accent with a Himalayan mountain motif—a nod to the spirit of exploration and resilience.
At the rear, a sleek red lightbar stretches across the tailgate, connecting the dynamic C-shaped tail-lamps, with the TEKTON nameplate proudly centered below, reinforcing the SUV’s bold and premium identity.
Crafted to Disrupt
“The All-New Nissan Tekton draws its design inspiration from our legendary Nissan Patrol,” said Alfonso Albaisa, Corporate Executive, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. “It is designed to disrupt, dominate, and deliver everything today’s modern Indian consumer desires. Imposing, stylish, and built to set a new benchmark in India and beyond—the Tekton embodies the best of Nissan’s SUV DNA.”
Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, added, “The Tekton is at the heart of Nissan’s resurgence story in India. With its commanding stance, bold design, and premium interiors, we believe it will be a true segment disruptor—appealing to customers seeking a robust yet refined C-SUV. It marks a major milestone in Nissan’s renewed growth journey in the country.”
Powering Nissan’s Next Chapter in India
The Nissan Tekton is set to play a pivotal role in expanding Nissan Motor India’s presence and portfolio. The company is also accelerating its dealership expansion to ensure wider accessibility and stronger brand engagement across the country.
Further details—including specifications, features, and export market plans—will be revealed closer to the vehicle’s global debut in 2026.
