Nissan rolls out one lakh Magnite SUVs from its Chennai facility

Nissan Motor India on Tuesday announced that it has rolled out 100,000th Magnite SUV from its Alliance plant (RNAIPL) in Chennai. The milestone product featured a Flare Garnet Red single tone colour scheme and the roll out was celebrated by the company. The achievement comes in two and a half years after the Magnite was first launched in the country.

The company also launched the Magnite Geza Special Edition to commemorate this production milestone. The special edition is inspired by Japanese theatre and its musical themes. The model gets feature enhancements based on these lines along with an advanced infotainment system.

Nissan, earlier this year, updated the Magnite to make it compliant with BS6 Stage 2 emission norms and equipped it with new safety features as standard across all variants. It received a four-star safety rating at the Global NCAP crash test.

The model has also received several accolades since its launch such as the '2023 Iconic Brand of the Year’ at the Dainik Jagran INext ICONIC Awards. It also received ‘Compact SUV of the Year 2021’ title by Top Gear as well as ‘Game Changer’ award by Motor Octane. The model also received ‘Value for Money’ title by Autocar India.

Nissan Magnite is a global product that is made in India and exported to 15 markets overseas. It was recently launched in countries like Seychelles, Bangladesh, Uganda, and Brunei. “The Nissan Magnite’s 100,000 production rollout is a proud moment for the Nissan Family, a significant milestone in Nissan's commitment to ’Make in India, Make for the World’," said Keerthi Prakash, MD, Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt Ltd.

The company has already exported more than a million units from its Chennai plant to 108 destinations, including New Zealand, Australia, and countries in the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, South-East Asia, SAARC, Sub Sahara, and African regions.
