Nissan is getting ready to step back into the spotlight in India. From 2026 onwards, the brand plans to widen its line-up, growing from a single model today to three products by the end of next year. This fresh phase will start with a compact MPV, before a long-awaited midsize SUV joins the range to take on one of India’s most crowded segments. Here’s a closer look at the Nissan cars set to launch in India in 2026.
Nissan Gravite
The first model to arrive will be the Nissan Gravite, which is essentially Nissan’s version of the Renault Triber. The Gravite is expected to be unveiled in January 2026, with prices announced by March. Estimated to be priced between Rs 6 lakh and Rs 9 lakh (ex-showroom), it will mark Nissan’s re-entry into the affordable family car space.
In terms of design, the Gravite will get subtle but noticeable changes over the Triber. Expect revised front and rear bumpers, fresh lighting elements and new alloy wheel designs to help it stand apart. Inside, Nissan is likely to introduce new colour and trim options, though the overall layout and features list should remain largely similar to the Triber.
Mechanically, the Gravite is expected to share the same 1.0-litre petrol engine producing 72hp, paired with manual and AMT gearbox options. With its flexible seating and compact footprint, the Gravite could appeal to budget-conscious buyers looking for a practical MPV.
Nissan Tekton
The second and more crucial launch for Nissan will be the Nissan Tekton, expected to arrive in the second half of 2026. Based on the next-generation Renault Duster, the Tekton will compete directly with popular midsize SUVs such as the Hyundai Creta and Tata Sierra. Prices are expected to range between Rs 11 lakh and Rs 19 lakh (ex-showroom).
Design-wise, the Tekton is said to take inspiration from Nissan’s global flagship, the Patrol. This could translate into a bold grille, strong character lines and distinctive C-shaped design elements. While official details are still limited, the Tekton is likely to share the 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine with the new Duster. There is also speculation that a hybrid powertrain could be introduced at a later stage.
With these upcoming car launches, Nissan is clearly aiming to rebuild its brand image and regain relevance in India. If priced competitively and backed by improved sales and service support, the upcoming Nissan cars in India in 2026 could mark a turning point for the brand.
