The Nissan Intelligent Ownership subscription service allows customers to subscribe to a car instead of owning it outright. Customers can just book the Nissan car that they want online and choose the variant and the subscription time — 24, 36 or 48 months. Once the car is ready, subscribers can just head to their dealership and pick up the vehicle.

Currently, subscribers have a standard distance limit of 10,000 kilometres per year. But they can raise this by 12,000, 15,000 and even 18,000 kilometres. However, raising the distance limit also increases the monthly subscription amount for the vehicle.

Nissan is currently offering the Maginite and Kicks SUVs to customers looking to subscribe. Nissan along with Zoomcar and Orix are currently offering 21 subscription plans for the two SUVs.

Subscription prices for the Kicks start at Rs 23,501 per month (for the 48 months, 10k km/year plan) and can go as high as Rs 35,470 (for the 24 months, 18k km/year plan). Prices for the Magnite range from Rs 14,228 (for the 48 months, 10k km/year plan) to Rs 21,088 (for the 24 months, 18k km/year plan). Subscribers have the option of buying the car outright when the subscription period comes to an end.
