Magnite SUV makes Nissan’s sales to increase by almost three times.
Key sentence:
- Nissan Motor’s fastest rise in around three years was an improvement of almost 185% in year-on-year sales last month.
- In January, Nissan shipped 4,021 units, compared to 1,413 units sold throughout the previous year.
- In the ASEAN NCAP crash tests, the Magnite reportedly secured a four-start safety ranking.
Last year, since Nissan Motor introduced the Magnite SUV in India, the Japanese car manufacturer pinned its hopes of revival almost exclusively on this sub-compact SUV throughout the region. It is already showing its effects in a couple of months.
Best month in years in terms of sales:
Last month, when it posted a year-on-year growth of nearly 185%, Nissan India logged its best month during years in terms of revenue. Needless to say, behind this huge threefold increase, the Magnite SUV was the sole cause.
In January, Nissan shipped 4,021 units, compared to 1,413 units sold throughout the previous year. The car manufacturer has fared even best when it comes to month-on-month development.
The first month of the new year carried upwards of 570 per cent growth for the Japanese car manufacturer against such a meagre 599 units throughout December 2020.
Nissan Magnite has had a rousing one:
Nissan Magnite seems to have had a stirring one month since its launch as the most accessible sub-compact SUV on December 2 throughout the Indian automotive market since December last year, earning 38,200 bookings.
Nissan highlighted Magnite’s huge demand as well as interest, saying it is hiring 1,000 new workers and adding a third shift at their manufacturing plant to reduce the existing waiting period of up to three months.
Some functions Magnite provides:
Magnite also provides a five-speed manual as well as an X-TRONIC CVT gearbox, fuelled by a 1.0-litre petrol engine that is equipped in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged models.
The car does have an optional Tech Pack for about 38,000, which places, among others, ambient lighting, premium music system, wireless phone charging, and also has a range of colour choices for single and dual-tone.
Magnite secured a four-start safety ranking:
In the ASEAN NCAP crash tests, the Magnite reportedly secured a four-start safety ranking as well as while the prototype put to the test were made in India, it’s not really clear if it is also one that has been made for India.
