Motruck Nissan Eswatini has officially introduced the all-new Nissan Tekton to the local market, unveiling the new SUV on Friday, September 25, 2026. The Tekton arrives with a combination of bold SUV styling, modern technology, practicality and Nissan’s established SUV de­sign language.

Motruck New Vehicle Sales Man­ager Zuleka Daude said the deal­ership was excited about t h e brand’s prospects. “We have confidence in the Nissan brand, in the local mar­ket and what lies ahead. For us here at Nissan Motruck Eswatini we are incredibly excit­ed to be part of the Nissan journey.”

BOLD SUV PRESENCE

The Tekton draws design inspi­ration from Nissan’s SUV heritage, including cues from the Nissan Patrol. Its exterior features a con­fident stance, C-shaped signature lighting, LED headlights and rear lights, with higher grades offering 18-inch alloy wheels, auto-folding mirrors and an electric panoramic opening glass roof.

Inside, Nissan has focused on space and comfort. Depending on the grade, buyers can expect fea­tures such as front ventilated seats, a six-way powered driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, rear air vents and a front cooling storage compartment.

Higher-specification models add multi-colour ambient lighting, a wireless charger and a more pre­mium cabin finish.

TECHNOLOGY MEETS EVERYDAY DRIVING

The Tekton features a 10.1-inch central infotainment dis­play with wire­less Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Selected grades also receive a 10.25-inch TFT instrument cluster, paddle shifters and Nissan’s Mul­tiSense drive modes, offering Eco, Comfort and Perso settings.

Practicality is another key part of the package, with up to 518 litres of luggage space behind the sec­ond row and up to 700 litres when measured to the roof.

TURBOCHARGED POWER

The range is powered by two turbocharged petrol engines. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder produces 74kW and 160Nm and is paired with a six-speed manual trans­mission.

The 1.3-litre four-cylinder turbo produces 115kW and 260Nm and comes with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Safety technology includes six airbags, electronic stability con­trol, traction control, tyre pressure monitoring and ISOFIX mounting points.

Higher grades add features such as lane departure warning, lane keep assist, blind spot warning, adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go and forward collision warn­ing.
