New Nissan Magnite compact SUV unveiled in India

 

Exports of new left-hand-drive version to start in 2025 to more than 65 markets

October 4, 2024

 

YOKOHAMA, Japan – Nissan today unveiled the new Magnite compact SUV in India, where it will be manufactured and sold. The new model combines sleek new styling, innovative technologies, optimum efficiency, and reinforced safety features.

The introduction of new Magnite across Africa, Middle East, and India comes as part of a broad product offensive and Nissan’s move to position India as a manufacturing hub under the Arc, Nissan’s mid-term business plan.

Nissan aims to export nearly 100,000 units to more than 65 markets in total by 2026, representing the largest coverage for a vehicle produced in Nissan’s Africa, Middle East, India and Oceania region.

 

Bold styling & advanced tech

The Magnite is a striking compact SUV, with robust exterior styling complemented by LED lights front and rear, alloy wheels and roof rails.

Inside, the new Magnite adds a configurable TFT driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, for seamless smartphone integration, as well as a wireless smartphone charger. Life-on-board has been enhanced with the addition of four-color adjustable ambient lighting.

Additionally, innovative new features include remote engine start, walk away lock and approach unlock functions, cooled glove box storage, and an on-board air ionizer – ideal for customers with allergies or respiratory conditions.

The updated Magnite features six airbags across all variants and the bodyshell’s integrity is reinforced with the use of reinforced steel and an auto dimming rear view mirror is available.

 

Efficient performance

The Magnite is powered by a turbocharged 1.0-liter engine, offering the optimum balance of fuel economy and responsive performance, which can be paired with either a manual or continuously variable transmission.

 

Ideal for urban mobility

Despite its compact dimensions, the Magnite can accommodate five passengers thanks to its generous wheelbase, making it ideal for urban mobility. This urban focus is enhanced further with the inclusion of Around View Monitor - which generates a bird’s-eye-view of the car from four cameras, ensuring parking in tight spaces is a low-stress exercise.

 

Exports to expand in 2025

The Magnite, launched in December 2020, has established a strong presence in India and has achieved cumulative sales of more than 150,000 units across India and international markets.

Nissan Motor India has until now exported the Magnite to 20 right-hand drive markets. With the launch of the new Magnite, exports will expand to left-hand drive markets, representing more than 45 additional markets beginning in 2025.

With the additional export opportunities available through New Magnite, India will join the UK as a key export hub for Nissan in the Africa, Middle East, India, Europe and Oceania (AMIEO) region.

 

Nissan Kicks segue sua trajetória de sucesso com crescimento de 26,6% nas vendas em 2024

 

2024/10/04

• Nos primeiros nove meses do ano, SUV fabricado em Resende (RJ) acumula mais de 45 mil unidades vendidas
• Em setembro, modelo da Nissan ficou entre os dez veículos mais vendidos do país

RIO DE JANEIRO – O Nissan Kicks continua acelerando forte no mercado brasileiro, demonstrando que sua qualidade de construção e acabamento, além do design moderno e tecnologias, seguem sendo diferenciados para os consumidores do país. Em setembro, o modelo fabricado em Resende (RJ) terminou entre os dez veículos mais vendidos do Brasil, atingindo a marca de 5.792 unidades comercializadas. Assim, no acumulado do ano, o SUV da Nissan chegou a 45.147 unidades vendidas, com um crescimento de 26,6% na comparação com o mesmo período de 2023.

Com a boa procura de clientes PcD pelo Nissan Kicks – que lidera as vendas do segmento no ano –, a versão Active apresentou 133% de crescimento sobre o ano passado. Essa liderança é reforçada também pelo aumento de 70% na versão Sense de um ano para o outro.

Sucesso no Brasil e em toda a América Latina, o desempenho do Nissan Kicks reforça a estratégia da Nissan: o modelo atualmente fabricado em Resende se manterá disponível para os consumidores mesmo com o lançamento da sua segunda geração, previsto para 2025, que surgirá como parte dos investimentos de R$ 2,8 bilhões, anunciados em novembro do ano passado.

Um sucesso brasileiro

Desde o início de sua produção no Brasil, em julho de 2017, mais de 350 mil unidades do Nissan Kicks já saíram no Complexo Industrial de Resende (RJ). Entre elas, a versão mais fabricada é a Advance (36,6% - incluindo carros para exportação). Levando em consideração apenas os modelos produzidos para exportação, a mais fabricada para o mercado argentino é a Advance, enquanto que a Sense/S é a mais enviada para o Paraguai.

Quanto às cores de carroceria, a mais fabricada até agora no Brasil é a na cor branco diamond (29,8% - total que inclui também a carroceria '2-tone' da mesma tonalidade com o teto preto premium), seguida pela cinza grafite (28,3%).

Nissan Kicks

O Nissan Kicks tem um estilo diferenciado e um amplo espaço interno. Por dentro, o modelo apresenta recursos que aumentam ainda mais a integração dos ocupantes com o veículo. Dois recursos tecnológicos se destacam quando o assunto é conforto e praticidade: o sistema multimídia com tela de oito polegadas e um item de qualidade reconhecida mundialmente e que é único no segmento, o equipamento de som premium Bose®, que inclui dois alto-falantes no apoio de cabeça do motorista.

O modelo vai além também quando se fala de tecnologias inteligentes de segurança passiva e ativa. Um conjunto avançado de dispositivos forma o Nissan Safety Shield, que é composto por diferentes tecnologias de segurança que monitoram, protegem e respondem em situações nas quais o veículo e seus ocupantes possam estar em risco.
