New Delhi: Nissan has officially announced and confirmed that its all-new Connect MPV for India will be revealed on 18th December 2025. This upcoming model has been spotted multiple times on test drives across India, will share a platform with the Renault Triber and will become the second badge-engineered product under the Renault-Nissan alliance after the Kiger Magnite pairing. With its latest debut scheduled, Nissan is preparing to enter the sub-compact MPV space with a fresh brand identity and a more feature-rich offering to the people.
Some earlier spy shots give a good indication of the MPV’s design direction. While the overall silhouette remains similar to the Triber, Nissan has reworked the front fascia extensively. The MPV sports a larger grille with the hexagonal inserts, latest headlamp units and C-shaped accents integrated into the front bumper for a more aggressive, modern look. The model also comes with functional roof rails and newly designed alloy wheels, helping it visually stand apart from its Renault sibling. Minor changes to the rear bumper and tail-lamp detailing are also expected.
The interior has not been revealed yet, but given the shared platform, the layout is expected to be broadly similar to the Triber. Furthermore, Nissan will come with the brand-specific touches for differentiation. Expected features include a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless charging pad, cooled centre storage, and sliding/reclining second-row seats. The MPV will also offer a modular three-row seating layout, enabling 5, 6, and 7-seater configurations depending on user needs. Powering the latest Nissan MPV will be a familiar 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 72 hp and 96 Nm, paired with either a 5-speed manual or AMT gearbox, identical to the Triber. Nissan is likely to tune the engine and gearbox for better drivability, but the core mechanical package remains unchanged to maintain price competitiveness.
Nissan’s latest MPV will be unveiled on 18 December, and the prices are expected to be announced in early 2026. Positioned along with the Renault Triber, the Nissan MPV will be only the second offering in the sub-compact MPV segment, aiming at buyers looking for an affordable, spacious and flexible 7-seater. Prices are expected to be in a similar range to the Triber, which currently retails between Rs 5.76 lakh and Rs 8.6 lakh ex-showroom.
