Nissan Motor India on Monday reported a 44.76 per cent on-year rise in total sales at 8,567 units in February 2025, riding on exports.

The company, which sold 5,918 units in February 2024, said all the powertrain options of its compact SUV Magnite are now E20-compatible with the Magnite BR10 naturally aspirated engine also becoming fully-compliant recently after the more powerful 1-litre HR10 turbocharged petrol engine, which became E20-compatible in August 2024.
