Nissan has confirmed an India launch of the production version of Magnite in second half of FY 2020-21. “The Nissan Magnite is an evolutionary leap in Nissan’s global SUV DNA. With cutting-edge technology onboard, it will be a game-changer in its segment," said Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India. "We are confident that Nissan Magnite will redefine the B-SUV segment for the industry."

While the parent company faces enormous financial challenges in international markets, it has also said that Africa, Middle-East and India remain its areas of special attention. The company highlighted that Magnite would be able to fill the needs of Indian buyers and could script its comeback. "Magnite will transform the way we drive and way we live in India. It will bring back the growth for us in the country," said Ashwini Gupta, COO at Nissan Motor Corp, during a presentation event for the showcasing of Magnite concept.
