New Nissan Compact MPV To Be Unveiled On 18 December

GaadiWaadi -

Nissan’s new sub-4 metre model likely to be its most affordable MPV underpinned by localised platform

From the recently introduced Mahindra XEV 9S, all-new Tata Sierra, and all-new Kia Seltos, to the upcoming new MG Hector, India is seeing a flurry of premium SUV activity this month. December will also bring a new budget MPV. Nissan has announced that it will unveil its India-focused MPV on 18 December.

The company shared its teaser images in March, and we have already learned quite a lot about its other details since. Nissan has yet to reveal the name of its upcoming MPV, but the teaser images and spy shots captured during its road testing have all but confirmed it will be a corporate cousin of the Renault Triber. Developed with strict cost targets, the new model will largely resemble its French donor.

The upcoming Nissan MPV will have the same body shell as the Renault Triber and share most of the soft plastic parts as well. A unique radiator grille, a distinctive front bumper, and revised headlamp and tail lamp graphics will differentiate it. We expect new 15-inch alloy wheels and a few different paint options as well.

Nissan has yet to release any details about the interior of its upcoming MPV, but we expect the cabin to largely mirror the Renault Triber, in terms of both design and features. There’s a strong chance that visual differences on the inside would be fewer. That said, the Renault Triber provides a cleverly designed, well-equipped base to build on.

A 2+3+2 seating layout should be standard, with slide/recline/fold and tumble second-row seats and removable third-row seats that allow the boot space to be expanded when travelling with five or fewer occupants. An 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, a 7-inch driver information display, and a wireless smartphone charger would be among the key interior features.

On the safety front, Nissan will likely equip the new MPV with features like front and rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, six airbags, ESC, HSA, and TCS. Under the hood, we expect a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine that produces 71 hp and 96 Nm of torque. 5-speed manual and automated manual will likely be the transmission choices.
