All new Nissan Magnite

Nissan Magnite Bags Four Stars in ASEAN NCAP Crash Test

When Nissan launched the Magnite officially in India, its disruptive pricing made all the headlines. To give you an idea, it undercuts its rivals by as much as INR 3 Lakh! When the company revealed the prices, it raised some questions too as the social media junta was quick enough to jump to a conclusion that the construction of the Magnite might not be that strong, because of cost-cutting measures. But we are happy to report that this is not the case here as the Nissan Magnite has managed to get a respectable score of 4-stars in the ASEAN-NCAP crash test.

More details

With Indian customers becoming increasingly aware of the importance of crashworthiness of the new cars, Magnite’s 4-star rating comes as a significant boost to the vehicle’s overall appeal.
