Nissan and Datsun have just launched a subscription program for their vehicles which include Magnite, Kicks and RediGo. They call it the Nissan Intelligent Ownership Subscription Plan. It is currently launched in Delhi NCR, Hyderabad and Chennai. Nissan has partnered up with Orix for providing the subscription program. The manufacturer will also be launching the [email protected] platform to provide a complete contactless buying experience.

“Nissan as a customer-centric brand understands the dynamic lifestyles of the new age Indian customers, who seek the flexibility to maneuver amongst various ownership experiences. We have partnered with ORIX, a prominent brand in the subscription space to create the most affordable, convenient and enjoyable car ownership experience, the new way to ownthe all-new Nissan MAGNITE, Nissan KICKS and Datsun redi-GO through the Subscription Plan.” says Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India.

The Nissan Intelligent Ownership Subscription Plan comes with Zero Service Costs, Zero Down payment and Zero Insurance costs. It covers RTO expenses, maintenance costs, includes road tax, registration fees, tyre and battery replacements and scheduled & unscheduled repairs. The program will also expand to Pune, Bangalore and Mumbai. The car that the buyer will get will have a white plate and there would also be a buyback option. The owner would have to pay a monthly fee based on the pre-selected tenure.

Speaking on the occasion, Sandeep Gambhir, Managing Director & CEO, ORIX India, mentioned that “Car ownership patterns in India are changing fast and in the last few months, we have witnessed a clear bias towards personal transportation as against use of public transportation. The proposed subscription program aims to combine ORIX’s financial and operating capabilities with Nissan’s unmatched product design and technology and the program will surely find a lot of customers choosing this vis a vis the other available options”.

The subscription plan for the Redi-GO A starts at Rs. 8,999 while the subscription plan for the Kicks XV 1.5 starts at Rs. 23,999 and for Magnite MT XV it starts at Rs. 17,999.

The [email protected] digital platform would allow for a complete contactless car buying experience. Because of coronavirus cases, some people are refraining from going to dealerships. The buyers would be able to explore the vehicle through a virtual showroom and even test drive the vehicle. The platform also allows the buyers to personalise the car and evaluate the exchange value of their current vehicle. They can also calculate and compare EMIs and apply for finance. The customers can also choose to pay at the dealership.
