For the Indian market, Nissan India has previewed its forthcoming SUV portfolio. The Nissan X-Trail, Qashqai, and Juke SUVs are the three new SUVs that the company has unveiled. Nissan wants to determine whether the X-Trail and Qashqai are appropriate for the fast-changing Indian market base, therefore it has confirmed that testing has started on both while showing the Juke as well.
The company hopes to get into India's growing SUV market with the new SUVs. The brand now believes that India has the potential customer base for these products as well. These products are already successful in the worldwide market. Nissan currently only offers the Magnite & Kicks SUV for purchase in India. The Kicks isn't a big seller for the company, but Magnite is selling well.
