First quarter 2027 reveal confirmed for new three-row Nissan SUV
The still unnamed three-row model is expected to come to South Africa next year positioned between the Tekton and X-Trail.
Nissan has officially announced that its upcoming three-row SUV will make its debut in the first quarter of next year, dispelling previous conflicting reports. The unnamed model, which will be manufactured at the Chennai plant in India, is not a rebadged version of the Renault Boreal, as previously thought. While the new SUV will share the CMF-B platform with the Renault Boreal, Dacia Bigster, and Renault Duster, it will be an extended version of these models to accommodate a third row of seating.
Sources claim that the new vehicle will measure 4300mm in length and offer seating for six or seven passengers. The unveiling is expected to take place in February, one year after Nissan's Gravite model based on the Renault Triber. The interior layout and design of the new three-row SUV will be identical to that of the Tekton, which made its world debut in July at a gala unveiling in Mumbai.
Despite some speculation that the entry-level 1.0-litre engine may be too light for the added length and mass, the new SUV is expected to feature the same engines as the Tekton and Duster. In South Africa, the new SUV is likely to debut between the Tekton and X-Trail, completing Nissan's product range and providing competition to the X-Trail. The vehicle is set to launch on September 21, with pricing to be announced at that time.
