Tata, Renault And Nissan To Challenge Hyundai Creta Soon

GaadiWaadi -

Three highly anticipated mid-size SUVs inching close to launch, with one model just weeks away from breaking cover

The Hyundai Creta may have dominated the mid-size SUV segment for years, but the competition in this segment is about to get intense soon. Tata Motors, Renault, and Nissan are working on new mid-size SUVs that hold the potential to give a solid fight to the long-established segment leader.

Tata Motors is bringing back the Sierra in a whole new avatar in November. The future Tata Sierra, previewed in a near-production form at Auto Expo 2025, will feature a squarish design and have a practical four-door layout.

The reborn Sierra will be the first Tata model to be available with a brand-new 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine. A turbocharged version of the same will also be available, with 168 hp and 280 Nm of torque. Also expected is a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine producing 116 hp and 260 Nm of torque.

A Sierra.ev is also in the works, and it will arrive shortly after its ICE donor. The Sierra.ev is expected to stand out in its segment with a dual-motor AWD setup, a front passenger touchscreen, and a lounge version with a 2+2 seating layout.

Renault is likely just about two months away from announcing the third-generation Duster in India. The all-new model flaunts a brute exterior that offers unmatched road presence and a modern interior with a myriad of new convenience and comfort features, barring India’s much-loved sunroof.

The all-new Duster will likely go on sale in January 2026 with a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine that develops around 160 horsepower and around 250 Nm of torque. Renault will introduce a hybrid variant within a year, but it does not plan to offer a diesel engine, unlike in the first-gen model.

Nissan is developing a Terrano successor called ‘Tekton’ and plans to launch it in June-July 2026. The Nissan Tekton will be a corporate cousin of the third-gen Renault Duster, but it will have a character of its own. Nissan has already revealed the exterior, showing a sharper design with cues borrowed from the seventh-gen Nissan Patrol. The engines, transmissions, and features should be completely the same as those of the latest Renault Duster.
