Nissan plans to unveil three new cars for the Indian automotive market as a part of its expansion plan
Nissan, in collaboration with Renault, is set to embark on an ambitious expansion plan in the Indian market. Nissan is currently relying on the Magnite as its sole offering, Nissan recognizes the need for diversification and aims to tap into unexplored potential. The Japanese automaker has outlined the launch of three new models as part of this strategic expansion. In this article, we’ll talk about the three upcoming Nissan cars in India.
1. Nissan X-Trail
Reports suggest that the Nissan X-Trail will lead the charge marking its entry into the Indian market. The fourth-generation model, unveiled in October of the previous year is anticipated to debut domestically in the coming year. The full-size SUV will be brought to India through the CBU route. The international facelift of the X-Trail has also been introduced recently. While the X-Trail offers multiple powertrain options globally, the Indian variant is expected to feature the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology, paired with a CVT gearbox.
2. New Nissan MPV
Nissan is collaborating with Renault and is set to introduce a new MPV to its Indian portfolio. Based on the Renault Triber, this compact MPV will measure just under 4 meters in length. Nissan is likely to make substantial modifications to differentiate it from its Renault counterpart. Positioned competitively, it is expected to share the Triber’s powertrain and underpinnings, offering a versatile and affordable option in the MPV segment.
3. Nissan 5-Seater Compact SUV
Scheduled for a 2025 launch, Nissan is actively developing a new compact SUV specifically for the Indian market. While a mid-size SUV based on the Duster is already in the pipeline, available in both 5 and 7-seater configurations, a sub-4-meter SUV is also in the works. Positioned above the existing Magnite in Nissan’s lineup, this 5-seater compact SUV is poised to cater to a broader audience. More details are expected to surface next year, providing a comprehensive understanding of what to anticipate from this upcoming SUV.
