The official Nissan Magnite India launch date has been announced by the company. The upcoming Kia Sonet rival will be introduced in our market on 2 December. Earlier, it was being anticipated that the new compact SUV would go on sale from 26 November. Dealerships have already started accepting bookings and the deliveries are expected to commence from early next month.
While we now have an official launch date, Nissan is yet to confirm the Magnite pricing. Speculations suggest that the forthcoming sub-4m SUV is likely to fall in the INR 5.50-9.50 lakh* price bracket and thus, would be cheaper than most of its rivals. For reference, the Hyundai Venue price starts at INR 6.75 lakh* and, on the other hand, the base price of the Toyota Urban Cruiser is INR 8.40 lakh*.
