The Nissan Magnite is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by Nissan. Unveiled in October 2020, the Magnite is placed below the Kicks in Nissan's global SUV lineup, making it the smallest Nissan crossover SUV worldwide.[2] Manufactured in Chennai, India, it uses the same platform as the Renault Kiger that was introduced later and occupies the sub-4 metre crossover SUV segment in India. The vehicle is exported to several emerging markets worldwide, including Indonesia and South Africa.[3][4]
The name "Magnite" is a portmanteau of the words "magnetic" and "ignite".[5]
Overview[]
Pre-production[]
In its development phase, the Magnite was planned as a flagship SUV for the Datsun marque.[6][7] However, as the Datsun marque was slated to be discontinued, the Magnite was handed to the Nissan brand in the final phases of its development. In December 2019, it was revealed that the name "Datsun Magnite" was trademarked in India since April 2019,[8][9] followed by the name "Nissan Magnite" in March 2020.[10] The vehicle was previewed for the first time in February 2020 in a side view silhouette form.[11] The concept version was revealed virtually on 17 July 2020 as the Magnite Concept.[12]
Production model[]
The production model was revealed on 21 October 2020, and production started on 30 October 2020.[13][14] It was launched in India on 2 December 2020,[15] followed by Indonesia on 21 December.[16]
The vehicle is built on an extended version of the CMF-A platform called the CMF-A+ platform. The platform also underpins the Renault Triber and Kiger.[17]
