Three-row Nissan Tekton edges closer to reality in new spy images
Still unnamed model is known to be under investigation for South African market introduction.
Nissan's upcoming seven-seater, based on the Tekton platform, is gaining traction as spy images emerge, hinting at its imminent arrival. Currently unnamed, this new entry aims to be Nissan's most budget-friendly three-row SUV for emerging markets. Manufactured in collaboration with Renault at Chennai's plant, it promises seating for six or seven passengers.
Recent images reveal the vehicle to be longer by 300 mm compared to earlier depictions. The prototype sports 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and a grille resembling the Tekton, along with a third window and D-pillar. It also includes a rear bumper equipped with a radar, suggesting advanced driver assistance features. The exact interior modifications compared to the Tekton remain undisclosed.
Powered by either a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol or a 1.8-litre hybrid, the "extended wheelbase" Tekton is expected to avoid underperformance issues. While India is the current focus, the three-row Tekton is also being considered for South Africa, where it would slot between the Tekton and X-Trail, bridging the price gap between the premium Tekna+ and the entry-level X-Trail Visia.
