The official Nissan Magnite India launch date has been announced by the company. The upcoming Kia Sonet rival will be introduced in our market on 2 December. Earlier, it was being anticipated that the new compact SUV would go on sale from 26 November. Dealerships have already started accepting bookings and the deliveries are expected to commence from early next month.
While we now have an official launch date,
Nissan is yet to confirm the Magnite pricing. Speculations suggest that the
forthcoming sub-4m SUV is likely to fall in the INR 5.50-9.50 lakh* price
bracket and thus, would be cheaper than most of its rivals. For reference, the
Hyundai Venue price starts at INR 6.75 lakh* and the base
price of the Toyota Urban Cruiser is INR 8.40 lakh*.
The all-new Nissan Magnite will be available
in two engine options, both petrol. There will be a 1.0L naturally aspirated
motor that produces 72 hp and gets a 5-speed MT. Then we will have the 1.0L
turbo-petrol that churns out 100 hp and 160 Nm. For transmission, this mill
will have either a 5-speed or CVT. No diesel engine will be available.
