***Nissan Magnite has over 30,000 confirmed bookings across the country. The SUV has managed to change the brand's fate in the country, despite the pandemic situation.***

![Nissan-Magnite.jpg](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/small_Nissan_Magnite_250961d01c.jpg?7087969.200000001)

Nissan Motor, which was on the verge of collapse in the Indian market, has now made a comeback with its all-new SUV, the Magnite. Nissan Magnite has over 30,000 confirmed bookings across the country. The SUV has managed to change the brand's fate in the country, despite the pandemic situation. This is a huge change for a brand that could sell only 5,448 cars in the first eight months of the current fiscal. According to sources, the final number of bookings could be higher than 30,000. One of the reasons for the increasing popularity of the car is that the customers are seeing it as value for money, as the car offers benefits and features of its rivals at a lesser cost. The cost of Magnite is INR 4.99 lakh, which is far less than Hyundai Venue’s INR 6.75 lakh and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza’s INR 7.34 lakh ( in Delhi).

One of the key features of the car is its 360-degree camera, which is usually present only in the C-segment vehicles. It also has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is usually not available at this price range. The car was in great demand on the last day of the introductory price offer of INR 4.99 Lakh. Magnite is estimated to be the most booked vehicle of 2020. The increased number of bookings could also lead to the car being sold out for 2021. If this happens, Nissan India will have to increase the production at its Chennai plant. To meet the demand, the company has resumed the production in 2021 and is focusing to beat its rival, Renault Kiger.

This has been a significant achievement for the brand which had to face multiple launch failures right from Datsun RediGo as well as Kicks. Magnite will start getting delivered from this month itself. The dispatches have been started from its Chennai plant. The car could reshape the future of the brand by grabbing the attention of local customers. Like the Sunny, Magnite has made a prominent appearance in the market and will decide the way the company moves ahead in the country. The success of this car will definitely make other brands re-consider the price-range of their products. The car has changed the way Indian customers measure the price range of cars, especially in the SUV segment. Magnite has made many other cars look overpriced. The future cars would need corrections in their price because of the benchmark that the car has set.

It has also planned to offer a battery range at least in excess of 200 km on a single charge. This statement came soon after a high demand for products like Tata Tiago mini, Tata Nexon compact SUV and Tata Altroz hatch. The brand is confident that its overall monthly sales will be at least in excess of 22,000 units, making the company its third position behind Hyundai and Maruti.

In a discussion with TOI, Shailesh Chandra, president of Tata Motors passenger vehicles business unit said that the brand coming back to the third position in the Indian market has not happened by accident. They have recorded that the sales value touched the highest mark in the past eight years during the last few months. As a result, the company gained nearly 300 basis points (100bps = 1 percentage point) in market share, which levelled up from around 4.7 per cent last year to about 7.7 per cent now. He was confident that with the same pace the company will reach 10 per cent share soon with new products. Therefore, the company is working on getting in newer products and focusing more on its electric space. 

Chandra said that Tata Motors and group companies such as Tata AutoComp (battery packs for EVs), Tata Power (for charging infra), and Tata Chemicals (lithium-ion battery cells) are together working to provide an eco-system for people looking to buy electric cars. He said that electric vehicles are the main focus of the company. In the last three years, the brand has successfully managed to establish themselves as frontrunners in the EV market. Tata Motors has now manufactured electric versions of the Tigor sedan that has a range of 312km single-charge, which has a cost of more than Rs 9.6 lakh in Delhi. Another EV is the Nexon SUV, which has a range of 312km on a single charge and has been priced more than Rs 14 lakh in Delhi. It is also being said that the brand will launch electric versions of the Altroz, as well as, the Harrier SUV.

According to Chandra, volumes have begun to come in as there are more practical benefits of these EVs. If a person drives 10,000-12,000 km on a yearly basis, then they will save over Rs 50,000 on operating costs. After four years, they can save around Rs 2.5 lakh than what they would have spent on petrol or a diesel car. With decent performance and additional assurances such as an 8-year or 1.6 lakh km warranty on the battery as well as the motor means that the brand is ahead of its rivals. There is a possibility that Tata is now working on a complete range of only-electric vehicles that will be seen in the market in the upcoming years.

The latest Hyundai Tucson gets styling changes on the exterior as well as the interior. On the outside, the headlamps get all-LED units, the grille has also been redesigned, and the car is more in line with the new Xcent and the Verna. With new bumpers, there are changes in the design of the wheels, the fuel filler cap and the tailgate.
On the inside, the car's dashboard has been changed, specifically, the multi-media screen. The screen is now integrated into the dash. The facelift uses a floating tablet design. The new screen gets better graphics, gives the car  freshness and also has a nicer touchscreen response. The quality, the feature-list, the ergonomics, as well as the bottle holders and storage spaces are identical to the older version. The car still uses the same suspension, the same tyre sizes, and the same steering. However, the suspension has been changed a little in favour of better dynamics. The ride quality of Hyundai Tucson facelift is good. The car is a little stiff over smaller bumps, but that has excellent ability to take on the larger bumps or potholes. It goes through them without severely crashing or rocking about. What hasn’t changed though is the Tucson’s quiet ride and planted straight-line stability.
The 1.6-litre diesel engine in the car is pretty similar to the one powering the Elantra in India. It has exactly the same bore and stroke dimensions, but under the hood of the Tucson, it makes more power and torque. The max power is rated at 136bhp while the peak torque is a healthy 300Nm. The Indian facelift, however, the car will get the 2-litre drivetrain in both diesel and petrol. On the road, the 1.6-litre engine feels slower than the 2-litre diesel. The 1.6-litre engine is not completely sluggish, but for a car this size, the 2-litre diesel engine is the best.
