Nissan Tekton
Nissan Tekton, the name was revealed on October 7, where the company also revealed its design details, and giving an distant image of both front and rear profile. Moreover, the Tekton's design language speaks the universal Nissan dialect - rugged, confident, and unmistakably modern. It wears a flat, commanding bonnet and upright proportions, giving it a traditional SUV silhouette, while the detailing keeps it thoroughly contemporary.
The front fascia is defined by a wide LED light bar stretching across the nose, intersecting a bold Nissan badge at the centre. Below that sit split LED headlamps with vertically stacked projector units, neatly tucked into a muscular front bumper that adds substance to the Tekton's stance.
At the rear, the SUV continues the LED theme with a connected tail-light strip and C-shaped lamps, both of which echo Nissan's global design DNA. The roof-mounted spoiler, chunky wheel arches, and large multi-spoke alloys tie it all together, balancing sportiness with everyday practicality. According to Nissan, the Tekton's styling draws inspiration from the iconic Patrol SUV, and it even features a double C-shaped motif on the front fender - a subtle homage to the Himalayas and their rugged beauty.
The new spy shots don't reveal much apart from giving a glimpse of the SUV's road presence. The car is expected to launch in Q2 2026. For more updates, keep following 91Wheels.
