Nissan launched its highly popular offering, the Magnite in December 2020. And now, the carmaker has rolled out the 50,000th unit of the sub-4m SUV from its Chennai-based manufacturing plant. Thatโs impressive considering weโve experienced multiple lockdowns and a global semiconductor shortage during the same period. In fact, the chip crisis still persists.
Commenting on this occasion, Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, said, โ
โNissan Magnite- Big, Bold, Beautiful SUV was designed to be a game-changer to deliver a premium experience with world-class technology and design coming together in an unbeatable package-redefining value in the SUV segment. Love for Nissan Magnite is phenomenal with it being the most awarded Nissan Vehicle in the Indian market with strong customer demand with more than one lakh plus bookings demonstrating the Nissanโs global SUV DNA and technology.โ
Currently, the Magnite is bagging over 72,000 bookings in India. The brand also exports the SUV to 15 other countries and it has clocked over 1 lakh cumulative sales in domestic and export markets. It is available in six broad trims: XE, XL, XV Executive, XV, XV Premium, and XV Premium (O), priced from Rs 5.76 lakh to Rs 10.15 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

The brand also claims that the Magnite has the lowest-in-class maintenance cost of 30 paise/km (for 50,000 km). It comes with a 2-year/50,000km standard warranty (whichever comes first), which can be extended for up to 5 years / 1 lakh kilometers at some additional cost.
