Nissan Magnite Bookings Cross 5,000 Units In The First Week: High Demand For Top-Spec Variants

The company has stated that 60 per cent of the demand for the Nissan Magnite is for the top two variants: XV and XV (Premium). Nissan also stated that 30 per cent of the Magnite bookings were towards the CVT-equipped trims.

The CVT gearbox is offered with the brand's 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine option. This produces 99bhp and 160Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a standard five-speed manual gearbox as well.

Nissan also stated that 40 per cent of the total bookings came in via their digital platform. The new online sales platform from Nissan is said to be extremely comprehensive, offering first-in-industry digital tools, such as virtual showrooms, configurator with build and price, along with a virtual test drive feature as well.

The Nissan Magnite which went on sale in India last week was offered with extremely competitive pricing starting as low as Rs 4.99 lakh. Nissan even offered the top-spec variant of the Magnite under Rs 10 lakh price bracket, allowing it to undercut all its competition and make it an extremely attractive offering in the segment. All prices are ex-showroom (Delhi).

Along with the competitive pricing, the Nissan Magnite also comes packed with a host of features and equipment, while also offering an extremely striking design. Some of the exterior and interior highlights on the Nissan Magnite include the LED projector headlamps, L-shaped LED DRLs, electric sunroof, 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, electrically-adjustable & foldable ORVMs with integrated turn indicators and many more.

The interiors of the Nissan Magnite also features a fully-digital instrument cluster, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging pad, climate control, steering-mounted controls, traction controls, rear AC vents and plenty of other equipment. Nissan also offers the Magnite with a ‘Tech Pack', which further brings in a number of additional features as well.

Thoughts On The Nissan Magnite Bookings In India

Nissan seems to have gotten off to a flying start with their Magnite compact-SUV in the Indian market. However, with stiff competition in the segment, it will be interesting to see where the Magnite stands in terms of sales at the end of the month.
