Nissan SUV launch timeline in India

Nissan India announced the launch of three new vehicles: a Triber-based MPV and two SUVs. The first SUV will launch in mid-2026. A proper 7-seater SUV (not just an extended version of the first) will follow in 2027 alongside its Renault counterpart.

No diesel engines in future line-up

Nissan India confirmed it will not offer diesel engines in upcoming models. The decision is based on the declining popularity of diesel vehicles and the push to meet stricter emission norms. The company is considering electric and hybrid models as alternatives.
