Nissan says that the design of the Tekton is inspired by the Patrol, a SUV which is very popular in the overseas market and was also sold in India for some time. And you can clearly notice the inspiration, in the way, the bonnet is flat and has bulges, the headlamps are rectangular in shape without any over-the-top design elements or curves. All of this gives the Tekton, a very purposeful and robust look in the front. Apart from this, there will be inverted L-shaped LED Daytime Running Lamps that will be connected via a lightbar. The bumper also looks very rugged with vertical and horizontal slats.

Nissan Tekton: Alloy wheels, roof rails, no visible rear door handle
On the sides, there are muscular wheel arches along with plastic cladding for the off-road look. There are alloy wheels which are expected to get a diamond-cut finish, at least on the top-end variant. One interesting thing is that there are no door handles on the rear doors, so we expect that they will be integrated into the C-pillar. There are also roof rails on offer, as of now, we do not know whether they are functional or not.
Nissan Tekton: TEKTON branding, LED tail lamps
Moving to the rear, there are C-shaped LED tail lamps that are connected via a lightbar. The ‘TEKTON’ is spelt out on the bootlid and the number plate is placed right above it. There is also a rear spoiler along with a rear wiper with a washer. The bumper seems finished in a dual-tone colour scheme and just like the front bumper, it also gets horizontal slats.
