Nissan Magnite is official car of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in UAE and Oman

Nissan Magnite will be the official car of ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Dubai and Oman with the tournament slated to be played between October 17 and November 14. It is expected that Nissan Magnite will be put on display at all the venues where the cricket matches would be played as part of the tournament.

Nissan is the official sponsor of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup and therefore, it comes as no surprise that Nissan India is putting its most exciting offering on display for maximum traction in what promises to be a closely-followed sports event across the world. “Nissan is the Official Sponsor of the ICC Global Events since 2016, we are pleased to sponsor ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, a tournament that wins hearts of people by bringing them together with hope and happiness," said Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India Ltd."

There is also a 1.0-litre unit that puts out 71 bhp and offers 96 Nm of torque. This comes with a five-speed manual gearbox while there is also a CVT option with the more powerful engine.
