New Delhi: Nissan has launched its sub-4-meter compact SUV Magnite on December 2, 2020. The car was an instant hit as it came with a lucrative introductory price tag of Rs. 4.99 lakh for its base XE variant.

The booking crossed 10,000 mark even before it started actually delivering the product. As of now, customers have to wait as long as 8 months to get their hands on Magnite.
