Nissan Magnite SUV to Get Costlier From January; Here's Why

Nissan's only model in India - the Magnite - has recently been included in the list of SUVs that will become more expensive from next month in India. According to sources accessed by autoX, the Nissan Magnite SUV will see a considerable price increase due to several factors, including growing input costs and inflationary pressure. Although the exact quantum of the hike is yet to be announced, the Magnite is expected to command a significant premium over its existing pricing, which ranges between Rs 6 lakh and Rs 11.02 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Furthermore, Nissan is offering some enticing year-end deals on its only SUV. There are five broad variants of the Magnite that prospective buyers can select from — XE, XL, XV Executive, XV, and XV Premium. The XV MT, XV Turbo MT, and XV Turbo CVT are the three versions of the Red Edition. Read on to know more about this currently accessible Nissan model in India before making a purchase.
