New Nissan SUV To Be Revealed On October 7; Here's What to Expect

Nissan is preparing for a significant moment in the Indian market with the global debut of its new C-segment SUV on 7 October. The mid-size SUV space in India has witnessed rapid expansion over the past few years, with models like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara leading the field. It is now one of the most important segments in the passenger vehicle market, shaped by a mix of practicality, design, and technology. Nissan aims to position itself with a contender that brings in its global design values while maintaining strong links to its alliance partner Renault. This new SUV is closely related to the upcoming Renault Duster, a detail that has added even more anticipation, as enthusiasts and buyers wait to see how the brand introduces its latest product to such a competitive category.

The new model will likely be based on next-generation Renault Duster's CMF-B platform. This shared base allows each brand to control development costs while still offering freedom to create distinct identities. Nissan is expected to use this opportunity to emphasise a fresh styling direction that aligns with Indian preferences, while Renault will extend the legacy of the Duster nameplate.

At the October 7 reveal, Nissan will keep the focus firmly on exterior styling, showcasing the SUV’s design proportions, brand cues, and overall stance. Specifications and features are likely to be disclosed in a phased manner later.

Reports suggest the SUV will be powered by a turbocharged petrol engine paired with both manual and automatic transmission choices. This setup is aimed at offering a balance of performance and efficiency for varied driving conditions. Technology highlights are expected to include connected features, advanced infotainment and ADAS.
