Nissan is struggling to improve its sales volumes in India, despite the moderate success of the Magnite and the disappointing performance of the new X-Trail.
The company has a rich history in India, having sold popular models like the Micra, Sunny, Terrano, and Kicks, as well as the 370Z and GT-R sportscars.
The Nissan Tekton, set to launch in 2026, is the company's contender in the competitive compact SUV segment, rivaling the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki's Grand Vitara, and Victoris.
The Tekton is Nissan's latest wild card, a hope that it may again see its glory days.
Based on the upcoming Renault Duster, the Tekton needs to perform well to help Nissan regain its footing in the Indian market.
