Nissan India amassed bookings to the extent of 760+ units for the Magnite SUV in Nepal within 30 days of launch in the country in February 2021

The Nissan Magnite, a sub compact SUV, was launched in India in December 2019. It  entered a highly competitive segment that includes the likes of stalwarts such as the Maruti Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300, Renault Kiger and Honda WR-V. Despite this competition, the Magnite has been seeing good demand both in domestic and more recently in export markets as well.

Since launch, Nissan India has produced a total of 15,010 units of the Magnite till end of May 21. This included 13,790 units for India and 1,220 units for exports. Shipped to markets such as Nepal, Indonesia and South Africa, it was in Nepal that the company saw bookings to the extent of 760+ units within 30 days of launch in Feb 21. This shows the overwhelming response that the Magnite has received in a market that otherwise sees total monthly PV sales at 1,580 units.

Growing demand, both in terms of domestic and exports, has instigated the company to include a third shift at the RNAIPL – Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt Ltd – plant in Oragadam near Chennai, earlier this year.

Nissan India has also added 1,000 new recruitments for a smoother and timelier delivery process. The company ascertains that the Magnite will be a game changer that will continue to strengthen company exports as part of Nissan NEXT transformation plan.
