Japanese automaker Nissan has officially confirmed that it will launch a new Multi‑Purpose Vehicle (MPV) in india on 18 December 2025. The upcoming model is a rebadged and redesigned version of the popular Renault Triber, tailored for indian family car buyers with updated styling and features under the nissan brand.
This move is part of Nissan’s strategy to expand its product lineup in india — following the success of models like the Magnite — and to strengthen its presence in the growing compact MPV segment.
🌟 What to Expect from the New nissan MPV
📌 Shared Platform and Design
· The new MPV will be built on the CMF‑A platform, the same architecture that underpins the Renault Triber. While the core structure and proportions remain similar to the Triber, nissan will differentiate the MPV with distinct exterior styling elements, such as a redesigned front fascia, grille, bumpers, and alloy wheels — giving it a unique identity.
· Expect a fresh interior theme and dashboard design that aligns with Nissan’s design language, though the overall cabin layout and flexibility (including 5/6/7‑seat configurations) will mirror the Triber’s versatile setup.
🔧 Engine and Performance
· The MPV is likely to be powered by the same 1.0‑litre naturally aspirated petrol engine used in the Renault Triber, delivering modest power suitable for city and family use.
· Transmission choices are expected to include a 5‑speed manual and a 5‑speed AMT, offering both traditional and easy‑drive options.
👨👩👧👦 Practical Family Features
The nissan MPV is expected to focus on comfort and utility, with features likely to include:
· Flexible seating for up to 7 passengers
· Touchscreen infotainment with wireless Android auto and apple CarPlay
· Digital instrument cluster
· Automatic climate control with vents for rear passengers
· Safety equipment such as airbags, parking sensors, TPMS, and more (expected)
These features will help the MPV compete strongly in the value‑oriented family segment in India.
💸 Pricing and Market Position
· industry estimates suggest the new nissan MPV could be priced between roughly ₹6 lakh and ₹9 lakh (ex‑showroom), positioning it attractively against rivals like the maruti Ertiga and toyota Rumion while staying close to the Triber’s pricing spectrum.
· Sales are expected to begin in early 2026 following its unveiling in mid‑December.
🛞 Why This Matters
The compact MPV segment has seen steady demand in India, especially for affordable family‑friendly vehicles that offer spacious interiors and flexible seating. Renault Triber has been one of the top sellers in this category, known for its value and adaptability.
With nissan introducing a brand‑new variant of this segment, buyers can expect:
· More choices under the Renault‑Nissan alliance
· Potentially stronger resale value for nissan buyers
· A refreshed design and feature list that could appeal to buyers looking for something different from the Renault model
This launch also aligns with Nissan’s broader plan to introduce multiple new models in the indian market in the next few years, expanding beyond its current SUV‑focused lineup.
