Nissan Motor India has announced the surpassing of a key milestone for the Magnite. The Nissan Magnite, which was launched in 2020, has crossed the 1.5 lakh unit sales mark since its launch. Earlier this year in February, the Nissan Magnite had completed one lakh sales in India.

Meanwhile, the company posted domestic sales of 2,263 units in the month of August, in addition to exports of 8,361 units, totalling the wholesales for the company to 10,624 units. While domestic sales saw a growth of 0.2 per cent on a year-on-year basis, exports grew by 336 per cent YoY. Interestingly, this is the highest monthly wholesale Nissan has achieved in the fiscal year FY24 so far and also the highest monthly export volume for Nissan Motor India in the last five years.

Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, said that the renewed strategy of Nissan’s focus on domestic and exports business is delivering great results for India. “The Nissan Magnite is proof that a robust platform, timeless product, and enhanced customer centricity can continue to deliver consistent outcomes, which is evident in the 1.5 lakh milestone that Nissan has crossed this month," he said.
