The midsize SUV space in India is witnessing an exciting new chapter of sibling rivalry. Following their global alliance’s renewed product offensive, Nissan has officially introduced its highly anticipated compact contender—the Nissan Tekton. Built on the same shared architecture as the iconic Renault Duster, the Tekton represents the spiritual successor to the older Terrano lineage.
