Upcoming Nissan MPV spied testing in India for the first time

Nissan’s upcoming MPV, which will be based on the Renault Triber, has been spied testing in India for the first time. It is going to be yet another badge-engineered product between Renault and Nissan, just like the Kiger and Magnite, and is expected to debut by the end of this year or in early 2026. 

1. Nissan compact MPV to be built on Renault Triber’s platform  
2. Nissan MPV to have similar mechanicals as its Renault counterpart.

The Nissan MPV comes with a silhouette similar to the Triber’s

Even though the test mule is heavily camouflaged, the spy shots suggest that the Nissan MPV will have a different fascia. It gets a larger grille with hexagonal inserts, a different pair of headlamps compared to those on the Triber, and new C-shaped accents on the edges of the front bumper. There’ll also be a different design for the wheels, and the MPV gets functional roof rails. The spy shots don’t reveal much of the rear, but some tweaks to the rear bumper can also be expected. 

New Nissan MPV interior and expected features  

Interior likely to be similar to the Triber’s

We haven’t got a sighting of the interior yet, but as the MPV shares a lot with the Triber, expect a similar interior and feature list here as well. Some interior bits will receive the Nissan treatment to show distinction from its Renault cousin. Expected features include a 7-inch TFT instrument display, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, a cooled central storage box, and sliding and reclining second-row seats. Like the Triber, expect the three-row modular seating configuration to be carried forward as well. 

New Nissan MPV engine, specs  

To be sold only with a single petrol engine option 

Nissan had earlier revealed a teaser for its upcoming MPV

The Nissan MPV will be powered by a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 72hp and 96Nm of torque, mated to either a 5-speed manual or AMT transmission—the same powertrain used in the Triber.

Upon launch, this Nissan MPV will only be the second sub-compact MPV in the market alongside the Renault Triber, offering a flexibility of 7-seats in an economical package. Prices will be announced in the first quarter of 2026, and they can be expected to be similar to the Triber. For reference, the Triber is priced between Rs 5.76 lakh and Rs 8.38 lakh (ex-showroom).
