The Magnite from Japanese automaker Nissan is a subcompact crossover that first debuted globally in October 2020. It was then introduced in the Indian market in late 2020. The Nissan Magnite has been received well by the Indian market as Nissan managed to acquire 5,000 orders within just five days after its launch. The Japanese automaker wants to replicate the Magnite’s positive sales performance in India to the ASEAN market as it launched the said subcompact car in Indonesia. Nissan said that the Magnite takes its name from the words “magnetic” and “ignite.”
