Nissan’s upcoming midsize SUV, the Tekton, is set for a global debut after receiving a 5-star rating in Bharat NCAP crash tests, according to multiple reports. The Deccan Chronicle says the Tekton earns 5-star safety certification and specifies its scoring: 30.49 out of 32 points for adult occupant protection and 45 out of 59 points for child occupant protection. The Times of India also reports that the model scores 5 stars in BNCAP tests, highlighting details ahead of launch.
Both outlets connect the Tekton to Nissan’s planned production and platform strategy for the Indian market. The Times of India notes that the upcoming model shares its platform with the new Renault Duster and will be manufactured at Renault’s facility in Tamil Nadu. It also describes the Tekton as an important product for Nissan India.
The Deccan Chronicle further mentions the Tekton’s launch price at Rs 10.49 lakh, positioning it as a domestically manufactured model aimed at broader markets.
