Speaking about the first SUV, which will share its underpinnings with the upcoming Renault Duster, it is said to be launched in India in the middle of 2026. The second SUV—a 7-seater model of the first SUV—is said to be launched in 2027, alongside its Renault counterpart. Nissan claims that the second SUV will be a proper 7-seater SUV and not just a 7-seater iteration of the first SUV. 

No diesel engine for upcoming models

Nissan India has officially ruled out any possibility of diesel engine in its upcoming range of cars. Citing the diminishing market share of diesel engines, Nissan India will consider bringing EVs and hybrids in the near future, meeting the ever-so-stringing emission norms in the country. Despite the struggles with the X-Trail, Nissan India continues to focus on bringing halo models as CBUs for the Indian market.

Pre-production of upcoming models begins

Throwing rumours around the brand’s exit from the Indian market following the sale of shares in India’s manufacturing plant, Nissan India revealed that the pre-production of its upcoming models have already begun at Renault’s plant in Chennai. Nissan firmly believes that the sale of its share in the manufacturing plant would not hamper its production capacity. In fact, the carmaker plans to double its current production capacity, in order to fulfil both domestic and international demand.
