Nissan Tekton
Nissan Motor India has just launched the Tekton in the country, which is expected to bring the company back on the mainstream automotive roadmap. Magnite kept the company going in India and Gravite added to it, but Tekton is expected to be the muscle behind Nissan’s Indian operations as it targets a wider audience.
Based on the new Renault Duster, Nissan Tekton costs between Rs 10.49 lakh and Rs 18.59 lakh (Ex-sh). Nissan is taking a different design direction along with different variant strategies to set itself apart from Duster.
