The new Nissan mid-sized SUV will launch in 2025 It will rival the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos To be based on CMF-B modular platform
Japanese automaker Nissan will introduce the globally popular X-Trail SUV in the Indian market on August 1, 2024. At the unveiling event, Nissan India confirmed that it will introduce 4 more cars and SUVs in the country in the next couple of years.
The big news is that Nissan India will re-enter the mid-sized SUV segment, which is currently dominated by Hyundai Creta and Maruti Grand Vitara. For people not in the know, Nissan had Terrano and Kicks SUVs in the mid-sized SUV category. Both models failed to generate volumes for the brand and were eventually phased out.
This will be Nissan's third attempt in the fastest growing mid-sized SUV category. The new mid-sized SUV will rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, MG Astor and the Honda Elevate.
The new Nissan mid-sized SUV will be based on the Renault-Nissan alliance's CMF-B modular architecture, which will also underpin the third-generation Renault Duster. The platform will be heavily localised to achieve competitive pricing.
The previous design teaser reveals that the Nissan midsize SUV will come with a stylish front design. It will have a connected LED daytime running light strip that runs across the width of the bonnet. There are two sleek chrome bars that merge nicely with the Nissan logo in the grille. More details will be revealed closer to its actual timeline.
The new Nissan midsize SUV will share the mechanics with the new-gen Renault Duster, which will debut in the first half of 2025. It is likely to receive a 1.3-litre, turbocharged petrol engine and a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine. Nissan could also use the 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo petrol unit to power the entry-level variants of the SUV.
Not just the new midsize SUV, Nissan will also launch a 3-row SUV in the Indian market in 2025. This SUV will be positioned against the likes of the Hyundai Alcazar, Tata Safari, Mahindra XUV700 and the MG Hector Plus.
Adding to it, the company will introduce the new Nissan Magnite facelift before the end of this year. In fact, the updated model has already been caught testing on the Indian roads. Nissan is also planning to launch a new entry-level EV, which will rival the Tata Tiago EV and the upcoming MG Bingo EV.
