Nissan India has increased the prices of both its models Magnite and Kicks from January. Both the SUVs have received a price hike by up to ₹25,000 for certain variants. According to Nissan, the price hikes were necessitated by rising cost of parts among others.
Nissan Magnite, which was launched in late 2020, had a starting price of ₹4.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The Kicks SUV prices used to start from ₹9.49 lakh (ex-showroom) before the price hike.
After the latest price hike, Nissan Magnite SUV prices now start from ₹5.76 lakh (ex-showroom) and go up to ₹9.98 lakh (ex-showroom) for its top-spec XV Premium Turbo CVT variant.
