Nissan launches Tekton SUV in South Africa

Nissan launched its new Tekton SUV in South Africa on Monday, betting that a wave of new vehicle introductions can help to revive growth and reassure customers and dealers after the Japanese automaker exited local manufacturing this year and shifted to an import-focused business. The launch marks the first in a series of new models Nissan plans to bring to South Africa as it seeks to strengthen its presence in Africa's biggest automotive market after the sale of its Pretoria plant this year to China's Chery, a move that raised questions about the brand's future in the country.
