Nissan India has announced that the company will be increasing prices across the Nissan and Datsun model range with effect from January 2020. The automaker has said that the prices will increase by up to five per cent across the models. The Japanese manufacturer has attributed the price hike due to increased costs. The price hike will vary between Rs. 10,000-50,000 across the Nissan and Datsun line-up, depending on the model. Meanwhile, buyers looking for a Nissan offering can lookout for a number of discounts and benefits that the carmaker has announced under Red Weekends sale.
Speaking on the hike, Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, said, "Nissan is committed to offer innovative and exciting products under the Nissan and Datsun brand with the best value proposition to its customers in India. In the current challenging market conditions, we are constrained to increase the price of all Nissan and Datsun models due to increased costs. The proposed price increase will be effective from January 2020."
