Key highlights
- Nissan will unveil its all-new MPV on December 18 as part of its renewed India push.

Nissan India is gearing up to reveal its brand-new MPV on December 18, marking an important step in its long-awaited product revival. The company has kept details tight, but the teaser confirms that the upcoming model will slot into the compact MPV space, one of the most competitive and high-volume segments in the country.
Triber derivative?
The MPV is expected to share its platform and powertrain with the Renault Triber. Nissan will, however, give it its own identity through design, interior layout and feature additions. Expect a sharper face, a revised grille and a more modern LED lighting setup. The brand could also offer fresh colour options since this has been a go-to strategy across its recent launches.
What to expect?
Inside, Nissan will likely focus on practicality. Think multiple storage points, sliding second-row seats, and a flexible third row that folds flat. The MPV should get wireless smartphone integration, a digital instrument cluster and automatic climate control as part of the higher trims. The Triber’s tried-and-tested 1.0-litre petrol unit will probably power the new model, paired with both manual and AMT options. Nissan could surprise us with a mild-hybrid setup, but that remains unconfirmed.
Good call for Nissan?
This MPV is crucial for Nissan. The brand hasn’t had a strong presence in mass-market segments after the Magnite, and expanding the portfolio has been top priority. With strong demand for affordable family movers, Nissan is stepping into a space where practicality matters just as much as price.
If Nissan prices it right, the upcoming MPV could give buyers a refreshing alternative to the Triber, Rumion and Ertiga crowd. It won’t be a luxury cruiser, but it promises an honest, space-first, feature-friendly package that suits Indian families who spend half their weekends playing musical chairs inside their cars.
