Nissan Tekton: A Renault Duster in Disguise at Rs 11m–19m — Worth the Badge?

AMW unveiled the Nissan Tekton in Colombo on 22 October, priced from around Rs 10.99m for the base 1.0L turbo manual up to Rs 19.19m for the top Tekna+ 1.3L turbo DCT. It's built in India on the shared Renault-Nissan CMF-B platform, essentially a reskinned Renault Duster, and it's Nissan's way of filling the gap left after the Qashqai was dropped from the lineup a couple of years back. Fans say the Duster's underpinnings are tough, simple, and easy to service island-wide, and the Nissan badge still holds resale value here. Critics say you're paying Nissan SUV money for a Renault chassis, with a thinner dealer and parts network than Toyota or Suzuki, and ask why not just import the actual Duster, or put the same money into a used RAV4 or CR-V. With rebadged Chinese and Indian-built SUVs landing at similar prices lately, where do you draw the line between smart platform-sharing and just paying extra for a badge? If you've run a Tekton, a Duster, or anything Renault-based here, how has reliability and parts availability actually held up? Badge එකට විතරක් සල්ලි දෙනවද, යටින් තියෙන දේ වගේම වටිනවද?
