Nissan Magnite: 2 lakh sales in India

Nissan Magnite made its debut in December 2020. In FY2021-22, it amassed 33,905 sales. This was followed by 32,546 and 30,146 sales in FY2022-23 and FY2023- 24, respectively. The sales of the SUV rose by a considerable margin when its facelifted model was introduced in October 2024. Nissan manufactures the Magnite at its production facility in Chennai and exports it to foreign markets in South Africa, Uganda, Indonesia, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

The Nissan Magnite facelift features an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, 3D sound by Arkamys, cruise control, a global smart key with remote engine start, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and more. There is a unique tech pack with features like a dashcam, wireless charger, premium speakers (JBL powered by Harman), puddle lamps and LED scuff plates on offer with the SUV.

One of the major reasons behind the success of Nissan Magnite in India is its diverse engine options. The 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine produces a maximum power output of 72hp and 96Nm of torque. This engine can be linked to a 5-speed manual or automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine produces a maximum power output of 100hp and 160Nm of torque. This engine can be mated to a 5-speed manual or CVT gearbox. The 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is also available with a retrofitted CNG kit.

Final Thoughts

Prices for the Nissan Magnite start at Rs 6.14 lakh and go up to Rs 11.92 lakh. It is one of the most affordable compact SUVs in India. It rivals the likes of Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300, Tata Punch, and Maruti Suzuki Brezza. In December 2024, Nissan crossed the 5 lakh cumulative sales landmark in India.
