With the new prices coming into effect on January 1, 2026, Nissan Motor India will join the list of players in the Indian auto space to implement price hikes across its portfolio. According to our internal sources, the brand will increase prices by up to 3% depending on the exact variant and specification. The prices are likely to rise due to sustained pressure related to the continued depreciation of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar and the Euro, thereby increasing the input costs of raw materials and logistics.
The Indian rupee is currently the worst performing currency in Asia in 2025, falling by 6% against the US dollar and hitting an all-time low of 91.01 in December. The decline is due to several factors, including 50% US import duty on Indian goods and significant outflow of funds from foreign investors.
What effect will the increase have on prices?
Nissan currently sells one car in India, the Magnite sub-4m SUV. The range opens with the Magnite VISIA equipped with a manual gearbox, priced at Rs 5,61,643 (ex-showroom). If it increases by maximum 3%, its ex-showroom price will increase by approximately from 17,000 5,78,492.
The top-spec model in the range is the CVT-equipped Magnite Turbo in the TEKNA+ variant, which is priced at 10,75,721 (ex-showroom). With a 3% increase it will increase to approximately from 32,000 11,07,993 (ex-showroom). The exact price increase will vary on each variant.

Nissan’s upcoming product offensive:
Nissan is bringing three new models to India as part of the brand resurgence on our shores, all three of which will be unveiled in less than 16 months. The first model to be launched will be the new Nissan Gravit B-segment MPV. Based on the CMF-A+ platform of the Renault Triber, it is a compact 7-seater MPV that is expected to be priced under. 9 lakh (ex-showroom) mark. It will be offered with the same 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol, differing from the Triber through its design and interior. The Gravitas will be unveiled in January 2026.
Next is the Nissan Tecton, which is set to break cover in February 2026. Based on the same CMF-B platform as the upcoming Renault Duster, it will bring a muscular design and a more premium, feature-rich cabin to differentiate itself. This will also include the powertrain options of the Duster.
The third model to enter India will be a premium seven-seater SUV that will be based on the long wheelbase iteration of the CMF-B platform that underpins the Dacia Bigster. It is expected to be positioned as a standalone model rather than a stretched-out Tecton, and will go up against cars like the Hyundai Alcazar and MG Hector Plus.
Speaking at the unveiling of the Nissan Gravit, Saurabh Vats, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India Pvt Ltd said, “2026 is going to be the year of resurgence for Nissan in India, and as we have been telling you, we are bringing 3 new models in less than 16 months.” With its upcoming product offensive, Nissan aims to lead the resurgence in the Indian passenger vehicle market by deepening its presence.
