Nissan Motor India on Wednesday launched the Magnite compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) starting at ₹4.99 lakh as an introductory price, going up to ₹9.35 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The introductory prices are valid till December 31.
The latest vehicle from the Nissan stable will be available in four trims — XE, XL, XV and XV Premium — available only with 1-litre petrol engine. Powered by the HRA0 1.0-litre Turbo engine it provides a quicker acceleration, the company said adding that it will give a mileage of 20 kmpl.
