If launched at the above-mentioned starting price, it will not only undercut the big players like Maruti Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue and Tata Nexon but also recently launched Kia Sonet SUV by a fair margin, which starts from Rs. 6.71 lakh (ex-showroom).

The official India prices are yet to be announced, and we can expect the carmaker to reveal them later this month, probably after Diwali. The SUV is manufactured at the company's manufacturing facility, in Oragadam, Chennai. Nissan will be using the same facility to cater both the domestic and the export markets.

The carmaker has already revealed engine specifications, features and various other details of the soon-to-be-launched Magnite SUV. Mechanically, the SUV will get two petrol engine options - the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated motor and the new 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine. While the former does duty on the Renault Triber, the latter was showcased at this year's Auto Expo in February.
