Nissan has launched the Tekton, which comes in as the closest alternative to the Renault Duster. The Japanese automaker claims that the name has been inspired by tectonic plates of the Himalayas. Customer bookings for this midsize SUV are underway, with deliveries commencing on July 20, 2026. The Nissan Tekton is being offered in six trim levels spread across 12 variants and 11 colour options. Understandably, the Tekton and Duster share the same CMF-B platform and turbo-petrol powertrain options.
