Okay, let me be frank. Renault has made quite a noise with the new Duster. And yes, Nissan’s sibling, the Tekton, is coming next month. The Duster reveal? Gave us a pretty good idea of what Tekton might carry over. Some stuff looks really interesting. Some well, I’ll get to that.

Top Features
Now, the Duster is fully loaded, and honestly, I love how some features are thoughtful, others just fancy. Tekton will probably copy most of these, or tweak them. Here’s what I am looking at
- Powered front seats with ventilation
- Dual 10.25-inch screens
- Connected car technology
- Wireless phone mirroring and charging
- Powered tailgate
- Panoramic sunroof
- Split-folding rear seats
- Arkamys sound system
ADAS and Safety Package
Here’s the interesting bit. Duster brought driver assistance for India, and Tekton is expected to follow. 17 Level 2 ADAS features. Lane assist, adaptive cruise, emergency braking sounds cool, right? Both cars likely to get six airbags, ABS with EBD, stability program, and five-star GNCAP/BNCAP rating. But real roads in India are messy. So let’s see how it actually performs.
Powertrains
Tekton is expected to use all three engines from Duster. Entry-level 1.0-litre turbo petrol. Mid and top 1.3-litre turbo petrol. And festival season? 1.8-litre full-hybrid 160 E-Tech may come. I am curious about the hybrid. Should be smooth. Should be efficient. But sometimes hybrids surprise you. In my experience, real mileage is never what the brochure says.

Dimensions
Duster’s dimensions are out. Tekton will match:
| Specification | Dimension |
|---|---|
| Length | 4.3 metres |
| Width | 1.81 metres |
| Height | 1.65 metres |
| Wheelbase | 2.65 metres |
| Bootspace | 518 litres |
| Boot space with second row folded | 1,789 litres |
So yeah, Tekton is taking Duster’s platform and adding features and safety. Looks promising. But real-world performance? That’s the real test. Software glitches, road conditions, reliability that’s where it counts. My tip? Don’t just read specs. Go test drive. Next month’s reveal? Gonna be interesting. No doubt.
