The carmaker opened the purchase window for the sub-4m automatic SUV on October 10, 2023, for a token amount of Rs 11,000. Now, it has decided to extend the introductory pricing for those who take a test drive and make reservations for the SUV before December 1, 2023. Till then (Nov. 30), the prices for the most affordable Magnite AMT will stand at Rs 6.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Nissan says that deliveries of the vehicle will commence later this year.
