Nissan IndiaNissan India has started exporting the updated Magnite facelift to overseas markets. The company said it has exported over 2,700 units in a month.

The first batch of the facelift was exported to South Africa. Launched on October 4, Nissan’s refreshed compact SUV is produced at the Alliance (Renault-Nissan) Chennai plant. As reported at the time of launch, the brand plans to export the Magnite to over 65 overseas markets, including left-hand drive markets. Since the Magnite’s launch in 2020, Nissan says it has sold over 1.5 lakh units in total globally.
Priced between Rs 5.99 lakh and Rs 11.50 lakh, the Magnite facelift is known for its attractive interiors (in top-spec form), value-for-money quotient, and strong performance from the 100hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine (which comes with a manual or CVT gearbox). There is also a 72hp 1.0-litre petrol engine available, with manual and AMT options. On the other hand, Nissan’s compact SUV is not the most refined in its class, and does not get features like a sunroof, which are now common in sub-four-metre SUVs at this price.
