The alliance is now planning to work on a Creta-sized electric SUV based on the CMF-B EV platform – this new EV platform is being tweaked from the standard CMF-B architecture to support EV powertrain.

The Renault-Nissan Alliance in India recently previewed four new SUVs that are expected to arrive soon. Two of these SUVs will be C-segment 5-seat SUVs, while the other two will be 7-seat C-segment SUVs. As has been the case with shared models, Renault and Nissan will have one 5-seater and one 7-seater, each. These new SUVs will be based on the latest version of the CMF-B platform, which underpins the current generation Duster, which sadly isn’t sold in India any more. We expect the first model from the CMF-B platform to launch in 2025. When these upcoming SUVs do arrive in India, they will compete against the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
