Nissan Magnite has become a runaway success as it's aggressive pricing undercuts all its segment rivals. But the sub Rs 5-lakh introductory starting price is now hiked by Rs. 50,000. Read the full report here.

Nissan is probably in its most successful period in the Indian market with the launch of its Magnite compact SUV. The brand’s strategy of pricing it much lower than all its segment rivals has worked wonders. In just over a month since its launch, the Magnite has already over 32,000 bookings and over 1.8 lakh enquiries for the compact SUV. In a recent official statement, Nissan has said it is starting a third shift expansion. More than 1,000 workers have been hired specifically at its Tamil Nadu plant to reduce waiting periods to 2-3 months at the maximum. To bring further good news for Nissan and buyers alike, the Magnite was just recently awarded 4 stars by ASEAN NCAP for crash test safety ratings. This makes the ridiculously affordable Magnite one of the safest vehicles in the segment and under Rs 10 lakh in general.
