Magnite SUV helps Nissan mop up 6 per cent growth in Q4
- Nissan Magnite SUV was launched last year, and has since been one of the best-selling vehicles for the Japanese carmaker in India.
Nissan Magnite SUV has helped the Japanese carmaker to register a 6 per cent growth in India in the first three months of this year. The carmaker announced that it sold as many as 4,012 vehicles in March 2021.
The Magnite SUV, which was launched on December 2 last year, recently hit a production milestone of 10,000 vehicles in India. The demand for this sub-compact SUV has forced Nissan to ramp up its production at its facility in Oragadam near Chennai to tackle the challenge of long waiting period for customers.

"With the unprecedented pandemic challenging demand & supply, the industry declined in FY20. Nissan, with its transformational plan of Nissan NEXT, has grown by 6% for the year on the tremendous customer response for the game changer – all-new Nissan Magnite with its Big, Bold, Beautiful value proposition and the support of its partners. Going forward into the new financial year, we look forward to maintaining this growth momentum," said Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director at Nissan Motor India.
Nissan also has a unique optional Tech Pack with the Magnite SUV in an effort to allow customers pick the features he wants in his cars. The Tech Pack offers features like ambient light, wireless charging and more. Nissan offers the Tech Pack at an additional cost of around ₹38,000.
