On the design-front, the Nissan Tekton equips a muscular front, new multi spoke alloy wheels and a sportier design on the rear. The brand is yet to reveal its interiors. However, we expect the SUV to be loaded with features too.
Having said that, the SUV will offer features like a big touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ADAS, 360-degree camera, powered and ventilated seats, premium upholstery and more.

Upcoming SUVs In India – Toyota Victoris Rebadged
Maruti has already launched its all new Victoris SUV in the country. That said, we expect the model to have its Toyota version too. Once Toyota launches its own Victoris rebadged model, it will be positioned against the Creta in the mid-size SUV segment. While it’s too early to talk about its launch, the new model can be launched by the mid or second half of the following year.
Now, the Toyota version of Victoris will have a different design boasting more of Toyota’s DNA. But, will it keep the under-belly CNG tank as it is would be something we would need to watch out for. Apart from that, the feature list on Toyota’s SUV is expected to be same as the Maruti Victoris.

Another old nameplate that will be launched again to trouble Creta is the Duster. Yes, the last car on the list is the one that made the compact SUV segment popular in the country. The India bound Renault Duster has already been revealed in the foreign markets. That said, it will be introduced in the country by the end of this year, while its launch might happen by the start of next year.
The SUV has features including a panoramic sunroof, wireless charger, big touchscreen infotainment unit, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, leatherette ventilated seats, powered driver’s seat, dual zone climate control among others in its package. The new gen model will get safety equipment like ADAS, 6-airbags, ABS, hill hold, hill descent control, 360-degree camera, electronic parking brake and more in its package.
But, looking at the popularity, there will be a lot to cope for the Renault Duster to trouble the Hyundai Creta.
