Nissan’s New 7-Seater MPV Teased: What to Expect
Nissan’s Upcoming MPV: What to Expect
Nissan has officially confirmed the arrival of a brand-new three-row MPV for India, set to debut by the end of the financial year 2025 (FY25). This new model will be based on the Renault Triber but will feature unique Nissan styling and design elements.
A teaser image shared by Nissan suggests a bold front fascia with an all-black grille, knife-blade LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, and a chunky front bumper with C-shaped highlights. The design is expected to merge SUV-like styling with MPV practicality, making it a strong contender in the sub-4-metre MPV segment.
Features & Interior Details
While Nissan has not revealed the complete feature list, the MPV is expected to borrow interior elements from the Magnite. Likely highlights include:
- An 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 7-inch digital instrument cluster
- Cruise control
- 360-degree camera
- Six airbags
- Hill-start assist and electronic stability control
The biggest selling point will be its flexible seating configurations, allowing users to switch between a 2-seater, 4-seater, 5-seater, or full 7-seater setup.
Engine & Performance
Under the hood, Nissan is expected to offer a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing 71 bhp and 96 Nm of torque—similar to the Renault Triber. Transmission choices will include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT.
Nissan’s Strategy in India
With this new MPV, Nissan aims to expand its budget-friendly lineup and gain traction in the competitive Indian market. The model will be produced at Renault-Nissan’s Chennai plant, with a focus on both domestic sales and exports.
Following the launch of this MPV, Nissan will introduce a new compact SUV in FY26 to take on popular models like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. These two new models will help Nissan strengthen its presence in India, bringing its total lineup to four vehicles.
The launch of Nissan’s three-row MPV is highly anticipated, especially among buyers looking for a practical and stylish seven-seater. More details will emerge as the launch date approaches, so stay tuned!
