Nicknamed the "Baby Patrol" for its aggressive styling inspired by the global Nissan Patrol, the Tekton promises muscular looks, advanced tech, and reliable performance tailored for Indian roads. Manufactured in Chennai, it will also be exported, marking a major boost for Nissan's India strategy.

Inside, a three-tone dashboard with soft-touch materials, ambient lighting, and a layered layout creates an upscale feel. Safety gets a boost with up to 6 airbags, 360-degree camera, and advanced driver assists.
