Since its launch, Nissan has introduced multiple variants of the Magnite to meet the evolving needs of Indian customers, including the Turbo, MT, the most affordable AMT, and the CVT. Last June, the Magnite achieved a significant production milestone—the rollout of its 100,000th Magnite from its Alliance plant (RNAIPL) in Chennai and it recently completed the sale of the 100,000th domestic sale of the same in January 2024.
The Big, Bold, and Beautiful Nissan Magnite isn’t limited to India alone—it’s making waves globally. Currently exported to 15 countries, including recent launches in Seychelles, Bangladesh, Uganda, and Brunei, this remarkable achievement reflects the brand’s commitment to delivering high-quality products and services while tapping into India’s potential as a major automotive manufacturing hub. In recent years, Nissan India has strategically shifted its primary export market from Europe to Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
The Magnite has received several prestigious accolades since its launch, including the recently awarded ‘2023 ICONIC Brand of the Year’ at the Dainik Jagran INext ICONIC Awards; ‘Compact SUV of the Year 2021’ by Top Gear; ‘Game Changer’ award by Motor Octane; and ‘Value for Money’ by Autocar India, amongst others. Adding to this list, the recently launched Nissan Magnite Kuro Edition has emerged as the winner in the Variant of the Year Award 2024 at the recent Carbike360-2024 Awards.
