Nissan's New 'Tekton' SUV Coming in 2026: A Patrol-Inspired Rival for C-Segment Premium SUVs
Nissan is set to unveil a new SUV, the 'Tekton', in 2026. While details are scarce, the company has hinted at its design and market strategy.
The Tekton, named after the Greek word for 'craftsman', is inspired by the Nissan Patrol. It features a muscular silhouette, C-shaped headlamps, and a prominent rear light bar. The side profile incorporates a 'Double-C' accent, referencing the Himalayan mountain range.
The new C-SUV is expected to appeal to buyers seeking a 'robust yet refined' vehicle. It will compete in the premium C-segment, going up against rivals like the Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun, and Tata Nexon.
Nissan has not yet revealed technical specifications or powertrain options. However, the Tekton is part of Nissan's global strategy to share core models across markets, with India being a central focus. To support the launch, Nissan is expanding its dealership footprint in India. Production will take place at Nissan's Chennai facility in collaboration with Renault, with models intended for both the Indian market and selected global exports.
The Nissan Tekton, set for a 2026 unveiling, is an exciting addition to the SUV news. With its Patrol-inspired design and robust yet refined appeal, it's poised to make a mark among its competitors. As more details emerge, we'll keep you updated on this promising new model.
