Nissan India said it has commenced the production of the all-new Nissan Magnite at its Chennai plant located in Oragadam on the outskirts of Tamil Nadu capital.
Built on the philosophy of “Make in India, Make for the World”, the new model, according to the company, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Nissan NEXT strategy for the Indian and global market.
Equipped with Nissan’s Cruise Control, Nissan Magnite’s signature X-TRONIC CVT gearbox with wider gear range gives seamless performance even in heavy traffic.
Powerful engine
It also comes with the powerful HRA0 engine delivering higher torque at a lower speed and adopting the “mirror bore cylinder coating” technology from world-class sportscars such as the Nissan GT-R.
Nissan India said this reduces resistance inside the engine and delivers smooth acceleration and efficient use of fuel, making the all-new Nissan Magnite one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in the market currently.
Biju Balendran, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of RNAIPL, said, “RNAIPL is thrilled to commemorate the start of production of the all-new Nissan Magnite. We are also exploring opportunities to export this big, bold, beautiful and charismatic SUV.
This is a colossal milestone for us, and we are proud of producing a SUV equipped with intuitive packaging and human-centric engineering that is inspired by India and designed in Japan.”
Nissan Motor India, Managing Director Rakesh Srivastava said, “The start of production of the all-new Nissan Magnite is a proud moment for all of us. With an array of first-in-class and best-in-segment features, each grade walk has been curated to meet the aspirations of the discerning Indian customer.”
He said that in line with Nissan’s philosophy of continuous innovation to deliver enriching experiences, Nissan’s renowned technologies are provided at every grade, including the Cruise Control, X-TRONIC CVT, 360-degree Around View Monitor and Nissan Connect.
Another feature is Nissan’s optional ‘Tech Pack’. It includes air purifier, ambient mood lighting, wireless charger, puddle lamps and high-end speakers from JBL. The all-new Nissan Magnite comes with multiple engine and transmission options.
