If you’re hunting for a new SUV, Nissan’s latest sales spike means the brand’s confidence is back on the road – especially with the newly launched Tekton priced at ₹10.49 lakh. The number itself is a clear nod that Indian buyers are buying in bulk and that Nissan’s dealer presence is expanding.
Tekton comes in two turbo‑petrol engines. The 1.0‑litre unit delivers 100 hp and 166 Nm, with a claimed 19.4 km/l, while the 1.3‑litre pushes 163 hp and 280 Nm, topping out at 18.5 km/l. It’s a straightforward power‑to‑fuel‑efficiency balance that lets you choose between a punchier drive or a more economical option.
On the road map, Tekton sits just below the Hyundai Creta’s ₹13 lakh and above the Honda Elevate’s ₹9 lakh, making it a mid‑price contender that still offers a robust feature set. Competing models like the Kia Seltos and Renault Duster also vie for the same segment, but Tekton’s dual‑engine lineup gives buyers a clearer choice.
The 100% jump in domestic wholesales, which saw 3,300 units sold in September 2026, is tied to the rising popularity of Nissan’s SUV range – from the small‑footprint Magnite to the larger Gravite. Exports accounted for 6,725 units, underscoring India’s role as a production hub for overseas markets. On the electric front, Nissan’s all‑electric Pixo will hit European roads early 2027, boasting a 27.5 kWh LFP battery, 82 hp, 259 km WLTP range and a 28‑minute 50 kW DC fast‑charge.
Tekton has been on sale since July and is now available across major metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, thanks to a dealer network that expanded by over 30 outlets last year. The Pixo, meanwhile, is still waiting on an India launch date, but its specs suggest a competitive entry in the A‑segment EV market. Buyers should keep an eye on the upcoming price adjustments and any new variants that Nissan may roll out next quarter.
