Nissan India has launched the Tekton SUV at a starting price of ₹10.50 lakh (ex-showroom), going all the way up to ₹18.59 lakh (ex-showroom). The Nissan Tekton SUV gets design inspired by the bigger Nissan Patrol sold in the international market. Bookings have commenced, and deliveries of the SUV are slated to begin from July 20.
The Tekton will be offered in India in six variants and with two engine options. The SUV is offered in six mono and five dual-tone colour options. The SUV has also secured a 5-star safety rating from BNCAP based on the ratings from the Renault Duster's crash test.

The Tekton's front-end design draws strong inspiration from the Patrol, giving it a more squared-off look compared to the Renault Duster. It features an upright grille with two chrome slats, flanked by slim LED headlamps. Connecting the headlamps is a full-width C-shaped LED daytime running light, with a red strip beneath them. The bonnet has prominent creases and displays Tekton lettering. The lower bumper combines a dual-tone finish with a faux silver skid plate and LED fog lamps.
On the side, the Tekton resembles the Duster but stands out with new 18-inch alloy wheels, flared wheel arches, and a silver trim on the front doors. The front doors have traditional pull handles, while the rear doors feature integrated handles on the C-pillars.
Looking at the back of the Tekton, you can see a full-width LED light bar that links the C-shaped tail-lamps, echoing the front lighting design. A roof-mounted spoiler sits above the upright tailgate, which, unlike the Duster's, is painted in a single body colour, giving a cleaner look. The lower bumper retains the dual-tone finish with a silver skid plate, and "Tekton" lettering appears on the tailgate.
