What Is Nissan Tekton?
The Nissan Tekton is the brand’s first all-new product as part of its revival plans. It shares its underpinnings and powertrain with the recently launched Renault Duster.
Nissan Tekton – Exterior Design

In fact, the front fascia takes some of its design cues from the flagship Nissan Patrol SUV, featuring a large rectangular grille with two chrome strips and a connected LED light bar above it. Furthermore, there are C-shaped LED projector headlamps and a dual-tone bumper with chunky grey cladding, giving it a rough look.
- It also features a sculpted bonnet for a tougher appearance.
