An SUV will come to compete with the Creta

The company has also said that it will also launch a 7-seater SUV based on the Tecton’s platform in 2027. The SUV may be a re-badged version of the Renault Bigster/Boreal sold abroad.
These companies will also raise prices
Nissan’s decision to hike prices comes at a time when companies such as Mercedes-Benz, BYD and MG have also announced hikes in the prices of their vehicles due to increased input costs or unfavorable exchange rates. This is the reason why more companies may also announce price hikes in the future.
