Nissan is all set to reveal a new B-segment MPV based on the Renault Triber tomorrow. This upcoming model will mark Nissan’s second mass-market offering in India after the Magnite. While the official launch is expected closer to the end of FY2026, the unveiling will give a first look at Nissan’s new family-focused vehicle.
Industry sources suggest that Nissan may first showcase design sketches or teaser visuals, similar to what it did earlier with other upcoming models.
Familiar Shape With Nissan’s Design Touch
The upcoming Nissan B-MPV will share its overall body shape with the Renault Triber. However, Nissan will give it a distinct identity. Changes are expected at the front, including a new grille design, revised headlamps, and a different bumper layout.
The alloy wheels and rear lighting elements are also likely to be redesigned to match Nissan’s global styling language. Despite these changes, the vehicle will retain the compact MPV proportions that make the Triber popular in India.
Three-Row Seating and Practical Cabin Expected
Like the Triber, the Nissan B-MPV is expected to offer three rows of seating, making it suitable for families. The dimensions, wheelbase, and interior layout are likely to remain the same, ensuring good space and flexibility.
Feature-wise, Nissan may include essentials such as a touchscreen infotainment system, steering-mounted controls, rear AC vents, and multiple storage spaces. Safety features like dual airbags, ABS, and rear parking sensors are also expected as standard.
Same 1.0-Litre Petrol Engine Setup
Powering the Nissan B-MPV will most likely be the same 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine seen on the Renault Triber. This engine produces around 71 bhp and 96 Nm of torque, which is adequate for city use and light highway driving.
Transmission options are expected to include a five-speed manual and a five-speed AMT, catering to both traditional and convenience-focused buyers.
CNG Option Likely for Indian Buyers
Considering the growing demand for alternative fuel options, Nissan is expected to offer a dealer-approved CNG kit with this B-MPV. This will make the vehicle more attractive to budget-conscious families and fleet buyers who are looking for lower running costs.
The CNG option could play a key role in boosting sales, especially in metro cities.
Important Step for Nissan in India
After discontinuing the Datsun brand, Nissan’s presence in India has largely depended on the Magnite. While the Magnite has performed well, Nissan clearly needs more models to strengthen its position.
This new B-MPV will help Nissan enter the family car segment, which sees strong demand in India. By using the Triber’s proven platform, Nissan can reduce costs and time to market.
Part of Nissan’s Bigger India Strategy
The Triber-based B-MPV is just one part of Nissan’s larger plan for India. Over the next two years, the company is expected to launch:
- The Tekton compact SUV
- A three-row SUV positioned above the Tekton
- This B-segment MPV
- A new electric vehicle
This product push signals Nissan’s renewed focus on the Indian market.
Conclusion
The Renault Triber-based Nissan B-MPV could become an important model for Nissan India. With practical seating, proven engine options, and competitive pricing expectations, it has the potential to attract Indian families. If priced smartly and backed by strong after-sales support, this MPV could help Nissan expand its footprint beyond the Magnite and regain momentum in the Indian market.
