New Delhi: Nissan India has launched the new Tekton compact SUV in India, with prices starting at ₹10.49 lakh and going up to ₹18.59 lakh, ex-showroom. Bookings have opened today, July 9, 2026, while deliveries are scheduled to begin from July 20.

The Tekton is closely related to the Renault Duster, as both SUVs share the same RGMP platform and are built at Renault’s manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu. That makes this launch interesting for buyers who like the Duster’s base package but want a Nissan badge, a different design, and some added tech touches.

Nissan Tekton price and variants

The Tekton comes with two turbo-petrol engine choices and manual or DCT automatic gearbox options. The entry Visia T160 MT starts at ₹10.49 lakh, while the top Tekna+ T280 DCT costs ₹18.59 lakh.

Nissan Tekton price list: 

  • Tekton Visia T160 MT: ₹10.49 lakh
  • Tekton Acenta T160 MT: ₹11.79 lakh
  • Tekton N-Connecta T160 MT: ₹13.69 lakh
  • Tekton Tekna T160 MT: ₹15.39 lakh
  • Tekton Acenta T280 DCT: ₹14.99 lakh

  • Tekton Tekna+ T280 DCT: ₹18.59 lakh
Design takes a Patrol-inspired route

Nissan has tried to give the Tekton its own look, instead of making it feel like a badge swap. The SUV gets a boxy stance inspired by the global Nissan Patrol. Up front, there is a flat nose, full-width LED DRL, LED headlamps, twin horizontal grille slats, and a chunky bumper with body cladding.

The rear gets connected lights, C-shaped LED tail lamps and silver bumper inserts. On road, this should look more upright and mature than some of the softer-looking compact SUVs in this price band.
