Upcoming Nissan Cars in India

Nissan’s current lineup of cars in India is beginning to show its age. The manufacturer desperately needs to add new models to its portfolio. While the GT-R will work wonders for Nissan’s image, it isn’t exactly a car that will drive sales. Over the next few years, Nissan, along with sister company Datsun, will launch new models and new variants of existing cars. Here’s a list of all the upcoming Nissan Cars in India with price, launch date and specifications

Nissan X-Trail

Showcased at the Auto Expo in February 2016, the Nissan X-Trail was scheduled to arrive in showrooms by the end of 2016. However, according to latest reports, the Nissan X-Trail India launch will likely take place by 2018, after its showing at the Auto Expo 2018. Nissan sold the previous generation X-Trail in India, but it was taken off the shelves due to lacklustre demand. The new model that will come to India will be a hybrid.

Expected Launch Date	Mid 2018
Estimated Price	Rs. 25-30 lakh
Engine Options	2.0 L Petrol + Electric Hybrid

Nissan Kicks

Next up on our list of upcoming Nissan cars in India is the Kicks small SUV. On sale in Brazil, the Nissan Kicks is a direct rival to the Hyundai Creta. With the arrival of the Kicks, Nissan might consider discontinuing the Terrano as they will fall in the same price bracket. The launch of the Nissan Kicks in India is still some time away. It is likely to take place in 2018. Both petrol and diesel engine options will be on offer.

Expected Launch Date	First half 2018
Estimated Price	Rs. 10-14 lakh
Engine Options	1.6 L Petrol/1.5 L Diesel

Datsun Go Cross

The Datsun Go Cross received a very positive response from show goers at the 2016 Auto Expo. Keeping that mind, Nissan seems to have fast-tracked its development and the Datsun Go Cross SUV is scheduled to arrive in India before the end of 2017. It will be based on the Go+ MPV, but will feature better interiors with more equipment. Nissan will be targeting a price of around 4.5 lakhs for the entry level variant of the Datsun Go Cross.

Expected Launch Date	Second Half 2017
Estimated Price	Rs. 4.5-6 lakh
Engine Options	1.2 L Petrol

Datsun Redi GO AMT

Next on our list of upcoming Nissan cars in India is the redi-GO AMT. Launched in July 2016, the Red-GO has enjoyed a decent run in the market until now. However, Datsun wants to reach out to more buyers. And to do that, they will launch the redi-GO with an AMT gearbox. Unlike the KwidAMT, the Redi GO AMT will use the 799cc engine and not the bigger 1.0 L unit.

Expected Launch Date	Mid 2017
Estimated Price	Rs. 4.00 lakh
Engine Options	799 cc Petrol

New Micra

The next generation Micra that made its debut recently couldn’t be more different from the current model. The curvy lines of the outgoing model have been replaced by an aggressive look and sharp creases. Although the new Nissan Micra finds a place on our list of upcoming Nissan cars in India, it might not come to us. Majorly because Nissan might find it difficult to keep costs in check. Even if Nissan does bring it to India, the Micra launch will not take place before 2018.

Expected Launch Date	2018
Estimated Price	Rs 6-8 lakh
Engine Options	1.2 L Petrol/1.5 L Diesel

Nissan Leaf

The Leaf is one of the most popular electric cars in the world. It will likely make its India debut in 2018. Its launch will likely taker place sometime in the middle of 2018. Expected to cost between Rs 20-30 lakh, this car is expected to come to India via the CBU route. So, it will likely be pretty costly.

Expected Launch Date	2018
Estimated Price	Rs 20-30 lakh
Expected Specifications	Electric motor
