Nissan India has announced the sale of over two lakh units of its Magnite SUV, marking a key milestone for the automaker in the competitive sub-four-metre SUV segment.

Originally launched in December 2020, the Nissan Magnite has emerged as a crucial volume driver for the brand in India. Positioned as a value-driven SUV with a starting ex-showroom price of ₹6.14 lakh, the Magnite has helped Nissan regain a foothold in the mass-market segment. The model received a mid-cycle facelift in October 2024, with updates focused on aesthetics and features to maintain its relevance amid rising competition.

Building on the updated lineup, Nissan has now introduced a CNG-fitted version of the Magnite. Priced at a premium of ₹75,000 over the corresponding petrol variant, the CNG option is available as a factory-fitted, retrofitted solution—ensuring warranty coverage and compliance with safety standards.

The CNG variant comes with a standard three-year or 1 lakh kilometre warranty, in line with Nissan's assurance policy for its ICE models. It is powered by the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and is mated exclusively to a five-speed manual gearbox. The CNG kit is not offered with the more powerful 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine or any automatic transmission option.

While Nissan has not disclosed detailed variant-wise sales data, the Magnite's strong sales performance underscores its role as a cornerstone in the brand’s India operations. The model also plays a dual role in Nissan’s global strategy, with units being exported to multiple international markets from its production base in Chennai.
