Nissan Motor India is gearing up for an exciting expansion with the launch of two brand-new models tailored for the Indian market. These include a 5-seater C-SUV (Nissan’s Creta Rival)and a 7-seater B-MPV, both designed to cater to the growing demand for premium and practical vehicles. The company recently showcased these upcoming models at the Global Product Showcase Event in Yokohama, Japan, offering a glimpse of what’s to come. In addition, Nissan has released teasers confirming their development and expected launch timelines.
Nissan’s Creta Rival – Launching FY 2026

The upcoming Nissan SUV is built on the CMF-B platform, the same architecture underpinning the new Renault Duster. Expected to hit Indian roads by FY2026, this model aims to take on popular competitors like the Hyundai Creta, Skoda Kushaq, Honda Elevate, and Maruti Grand Vitara. Nissan promises a feature-rich SUV with cutting-edge technology and a design inspired by its iconic Patrol SUV.
Nissan’s Creta rival is set to make a bold statement with its rugged, high-stance design, a high approach and departure angle for better off-road capabilities, and a strong road presence. Nissan aims to integrate its signature SUV DNA into this vehicle, offering a combination of premium craftsmanship, robust reliability, and advanced features tailored for Indian consumers.
Nissan’s 7-Seater B-MPV – Launching This Year

The second model in Nissan’s pipeline is a compact 7-seater B-MPV, expected to launch by the end of 2025. This multi-purpose vehicle will feature Nissan’s distinctive design language, characterized by a bold C-shaped grille and muscular SUV-inspired styling elements. The B-MPV is engineered to maximize interior space, ensuring comfort for all passengers across three rows without compromising driving dynamics.
Designed with value-conscious buyers in mind, this MPV will offer a mix of practicality, efficiency, and modern features to meet the needs of Indian families. The model is expected to provide a compelling alternative to existing 7-seater options in the market, making it a strong contender in the MPV segment.
Nissan’s Growth Plans in India
Nissan’s strategy for India includes expanding its product portfolio to have four models by FY2026 across the B, C, and D-SUV segments. Both the upcoming SUV (Nissan’s Creta rival) and MPV (Maruti Suzuki Ertiga rival) will be manufactured at the Renault-Nissan Alliance factory in Chennai, supporting both domestic sales and exports.
The new Nissan SUV and MPV are poised to strengthen the brand’s position in India’s competitive automotive market. With a combination of premium styling, innovative technology, and a commitment to quality, Nissan is set to make a strong impact with these launches. Indian consumers can look forward to an exciting new range of Nissan vehicles that offer both practicality and driving pleasure in the coming years.
