Summary generated by AI · Reviewed by Gear Choice Team
Nissan's Tekton, a sibling to the new Renault Duster, is set to launch next month.
It is expected to share many features with the Duster, including dual 10.25-inch screens and a panoramic sunroof.
The Tekton will likely adopt Duster's 17 Level 2 ADAS safety features, such as lane assist and adaptive cruise.
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.
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.
