Nissan Motor India reported total wholesales of 10,011 units for the month of October 2022, including 3061 national wholesales and 6950 export wholesales. In comparison to the same period last year, the cumulative wholesale growth for the year to date was 22%.
Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, commented,“Festive season has strong momentum of increased number of deliveries, with customer preference for early delivery and ease of finance. Preference of customers was for SUVs specially amongst the first time and replacement buyers. We are confident that demand will continue to rise with an improvement in economic growth, customer sentiment and with improvement in supply.”
In October, Nissan presented to the public its plans to expand its lineup in India to include the Nissan X-Trail, Qashqai, and Juke. Nissan has also begun conducting feasibility studies near its Chennai manufacturing base. Once the tests are through, the X-Trail will be the first model to be released on the Indian market.
In the B-SUV market, the Nissan Magnite has more than 1 lakh reservations and is still consumers’ top pick. The huge, bold, and gorgeous Nissan Magnite, which will be on sale in December 2020 for a starting ex-showroom price of INR 5.97 lakh, was created in India by Nissan India, whose manufacturing ethos is “Make-In-India, Make for the World.”
Nissan also released the Magnite Red Edition in July 2022 at a competitive INR 7.86 lakh.
More than 15 nations import and export the Nissan Magnite. The most recent launches took place in Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal. Nissan India started exporting in September 2010 and now sends cars from its Renault-Nissan Automotive India Ltd facility in Chennai to 108 nations, including New Zealand, Australia, and nations in the Middle East, as well as nations in Europe, Latin America, South-East Asia, the SAARC, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Africa. Nissan India’s main export markets have recently changed from Europe to the Middle Eastern nations of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
