Nissan India recently teased its upcoming compact SUV Tecton, which will share the platform with the Renault Duster. The Duster laid the foundation of the Indian compact SUV segment and has achieved success again in its second generation with a rugged design, great performance and a feature-packed cabin. Now its platform sharing partner Tekton is also going to enter the market.
In such a situation, it is natural that Nissan should include some of the best features of Duster in its new SUV to attract customers. This not only saves development costs, but also benefits from the strong share of both the brands. It will compete with competitors like Creta in the market, hence it is important to be equipped with premium comfort, safety and technology. Let us know those five important features which can be taken directly from Duster in Tecton.
Powered and Ventilated Seats
The new gen Duster has 6-way powered adjustable and ventilated front seats, which prove to be especially comfortable in summers. Nissan can also provide this feature in Tecton. This will reduce fatigue on long drives and make the cabin experience more premium. The demand for ventilation is increasing especially in the Indian climate, so this feature can attract young buyers.
powered tailgate
The powered tailgate available on the Duster is a convenient feature that helps in opening the boot easily even when carrying luggage. Its inclusion in Tecton will increase the premium feel of the SUV. In the busy life of the city, this small feature can make a big difference in daily use and will provide convenience to the customers while parking or shopping.
Level-2 ADAS Suite
Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is very important from safety point of view. Features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking and blind spot monitoring have been provided in Duster. By including these in Tecton, it can become one of the safest vehicles in the segment. Considering the increasing traffic on Indian roads, this feature will prove to be very useful.
panoramic sunroof
The popularity of panoramic sunroof is continuously increasing among Indian buyers. The Duster offers one of the largest sunroofs in the segment, making the cabin more spacious, bright and premium. By adopting this in Nissan Tecton also, the cabin can be ventilated and modern. This feature in the family SUV will be attractive to both children and passengers.
Dual Large Screens
The new Duster has a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in and digital driver display, which gives a modern look to the cabin. These screens can also be used in Tecton. However, the user interface will be Nissan's own. This setup with wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Google Maps and connected car technology will make Tecton full of technology.
Overall, adopting these features of Duster will not only make Tecton powerful but will also be able to offer better value as per the price. It is to be launched in the Indian market next month i.e. in July 2026.
