Nissan Motor Corporation on Thursday globally unveiled the B-segment Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) concept Magnite.
The company’s global executive Ashwini Gupta assured that the new SUV to be launched in the later half of the current fiscal year will bring back growth for Nissan in India.
The automaker has not yet revealed the engine details but the sub-compact SUV gets a cruise control, 360 degree camera and connectivity options, and an 8 inch screen.
It also comes with black grille bracketed by silver wings, floating back roofline, vertically-stacked, Z-shaped, signature LED DRL and speed headlamps.
Nissan informed that it has invested over Rs 6,000 crores in the Indian market and majorly wants to focus on exports to overseas markets. It also believes that India offers a good market potential in terms of the Alliance’s investment as the company has its R&D and manufacturing along with sales and marketing here.
Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India said, “The Nissan Magnite is an evolutionary leap in Nissan’s global SUV DNA. A bold offering in the sub-four-meter category, we are confident that Nissan Magnite will redefine the B-SUV segment for the industry.”
“The Nissan Magnite is made on the philosophy of ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ and has been designed in Japan while keeping in mind the requirements and aspirations of Indian customers,” Srivastava added.
