Upcoming Renault & Nissan SUVs in India (Launching 2025-2026)
---Advertisement---

Here are four future SUVs from Renault and Nissan that are likely to debut in India:

1. New-Gen Renault Duster

The third-generation Renault Duster will be introduced in India early next year, in 2026. It will be built using the CMF-B platform. The new Duster will most likely sport a 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine that produces 154 horsepower and 250 Nm of peak torque. A 1.6-litre petrol-powered hybrid with 140 horsepower is also under consideration for the Indian market. This mid-size SUV will compete against models such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Skoda Kushaq.

2. Renault Kiger Facelift.

Renault has announced that the Kiger facelift will go on sale later this year. The upgraded model will have a somewhat different look, with new headlights, bumpers, taillights, and alloy wheels. The Kiger facelift may have Renault’s new logo in India. Inside, the interior will see slight changes to the dashboard layout as well as additional amenities. The 1.0-litre NA and 1.0-litre turbo petrol engines will stay unaltered.

3) Renault Boreal

The Renault Boreal, a seven-seater SUV, is slated to arrive in India in the second half of 2026, after the Duster’s introduction. The Dacia Bigster will serve as the basis for the Boreal, which will be built on the CMF-B platform used by the Duster. It will be 230 mm longer than the Duster, with a 43 mm larger wheelbase. Both the Duster and the Boreal are likely to offer comparable powertrain options, such as the 154 bhp 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine and, perhaps, the 140 bhp 1.6-litre petrol-powered hybrid.

4. New Nissan SUV.

A Nissan SUV based on the Renault Duster will be introduced in India around the same time as the Duster. This SUV, likely named Kait, will be built on the CMF-B platform. Teaser photos indicate that it will have an entirely distinct design language and internal arrangement. Prices may differ somewhat from the Duster based on the type and options. The Nissan SUV will share powertrains with the Duster, providing 140 horsepower strong hybrid and 154 bhp turbo petrol choices.
