6 months ago | 5 Views
Nissan India has reaffirmed its commitment to prior announcements about its intentions for the Indian market. In a recent press briefing, Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director of Nissan Motor India, reiterated the company's previously stated product plan and emphasized India's continued significance as a market. In the past, Nissan India had stated that it would be introducing a new seven-seat B-segment MPV as part of its future lineup in the nation.
The upcoming product pipeline now includes four new models, including a mass-market EV as well as a five-seater and a seven-seater C-SUV. Both the five-seater C-SUV and the B-MPV are now in the pre-production stage, according to Nissan, and they will both be released in 2026. Let's examine what Nissan is anticipated to deliver in the next few years while development is in progress:
Renault Triber-based seven-seater B-MPV:
The Renault Triber will serve as the foundation for the first of Nissan's forthcoming vehicles, a seven-seater B-MPV with a distinctive look.The upcoming B-segment MPV, which is anticipated to debut in early 2026, will mark the beginning for Nissan. This three-row seven-seater will be built on the CMF-A+ platform, which also supports the Renault Triber. However, Nissan has said that it will have a unique design and interior and is marketing it as a standalone model rather than just a rebadged version. The Triber's 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, which produces 71 horsepower and 96 Nm of torque, is anticipated to be carried over into this MPV, along with the option of a five-speed manual or automatic gearbox. five-seater C-SUV built on the Renault Duster:For India, Nissan is also creating a mid-size SUV with five seats. Sharing its underpinnings with the Renault Duster, it is built on the CMF-B platform and has a unique exterior and interior.For the Indian market, Nissan is also creating a five-seater mid-size SUV. Sharing its foundation with the Renault Duster on the CMF-B platform, it has a unique exterior and interior style.The second vehicle from Nissan to arrive in dealerships will be a five-seater C-segment SUV, which is anticipated to go on sale in the latter part of 2026. The foundation of this SUV will be the CMF-B platform, which also supports the Renault Duster. According to the manufacturer, the car will have a high approach and departure angle and will take design cues from the Nissan Patrol, which is sold worldwide. The forthcoming mid-size SUV will compete with the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, among others. It will be produced at Nissan's Chennai factory and is anticipated to retain the 1.2-liter three-cylinder mild-hybrid engine that powers the Duster. Seven-seat C-SUV based on the Dacia Bigster:The debut of a seven-seat SUV, which is anticipated by 2027, will be the next step for Nissan after the introduction of the MPV and C-SUV. This model will be built on a longer wheelbase variant of the CMF-B platform, which supports the Dacia Bigster, a stretched-out version of the Duster. In contrast, Nissan has stated that the model will have a unique outside and interior design, rather than being merely an enlarged version. It is anticipated that it will compete with high-end seven-seat SUVs like the MG Hector Plus and Hyundai Alcazar. An EV for the general public: Although ICE-powered models are the name of the game, Nissan has also stated that it will be releasing a low-cost electric vehicle for the Indian market. Currently, Renault has been developing a Kwid EV for the mass market for a while, and the Japanese company is anticipated to rebrand it. The Kwid EV is modeled after the Dacia Spring EV, which has a 26.8 kWh battery that gives it a maximum range of 225 km on a single charge. It has features including a 10.1-inch infotainment screen, a 7-inch digital cluster, ADAS, and more. Although Nissan intends to introduce its EV by 2027, there is currently no formal schedule available.Read Also: FY25 Milestone: Bajaj Auto’s Two-Wheeler Sales Top 3.9 Million, Exports Boom
