New Nissan midsize SUV will be launched by the middle of next year and it will spawn a seven-seater sibling in 2027 in India
Nissan is gearing up for a major product assault in India as a brand new compact MPV, due early next year, will be built on the same CMF-A+ platform as the Renault Triber. Hot on its heels will be a new C-segment SUV, sharing its underpinnings with the upcoming Renault Duster, and a three-row derivative scheduled to launch in 2027.
With a single product in its portfolio, Nissan is struggling to gain volumes but over the next 12-24 months, its range will be significantly expanded and the C-SUV will play a key role in it as it will compete against the likes of Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and recently launched Victoris, Toyota Hyryder, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq.
Last month, it was caught testing for the first time on public roads and here we have showed you the latest spy shots as the five-seater will be introduced by the middle of next calendar year. The Japanese manufacturer teased the midsize SUV a couple of times already and the prototype stays true to the design elements of the teaser.

Spy pictures reveal a flat and upright stance at the front. What does stand out are the star-patterned black alloy wheels, squared-off arches that give it a muscular stance and a boxy rear profile capped with an integrated spoiler and details like a shark-fin antenna and a high-mounted stop lamp. It does have an appealing road presence.
A sharply raked windshield, tall pillars and a mildly tapering roofline give the SUV a generous glasshouse. Up front, the slim LED headlamps with inverted L-shaped turn indicators are flank by C-shaped air inlets on the bumper while a skid plate adds a rugged stance. At the back, a chunky bumper and rectangular LED tail lamps can be seen.

The grille will follow Nissan’s latest design philosophy seen globally with multiple horizontal slats being at the forefront while a light bar will also be available positioned below the aggressive bonnet structure. Amidst sharing a lot with the next-gen Duster, the spiritual successor to the Terrano will have its own distinct elements inside and out.
It will sit not the heavily localised CMF-B+ architecture and will be equipped with features such as a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android integration, Level 2 ADAS, automatic climate control, ventilated front seats, six airbags as standard, TPMS, a fully-digital instrument console and more. Nissan is expected to launch the C-SUV with small capacity petrol engines at first before the arrival of a hybrid option.
