Nissan Motor India showcases recently unveiled SUVs X-Trail and Qashqai in Kolkata

Nissan showcased the cars as a part of its 'Move Beyond Golf Tournament' to Kolkata.

During the Kolkata event, Bindra, who had won the gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, presented the prizes to the winners of the one-day golf tournament.

The SUVs - the X-Trail and the Qashqai were first unveiled in October.

Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India Pvt Ltd, said, “The X-Trail and the Qashqai are globally renowned products, and the interest we have seen in both since our first showcase last October has been heart-warming.”

"Nissan Motor India is committed to strengthening its presence in the Eastern India Region, which contributes to 15% of its overall sales," he said.

With around 20 dealers and sales points, he said Nissan is expanding its dealership network to provide customers with hassle-free buying and servicing experience.

"The Nissan Magnite has received an overwhelming response with 9,000 units in the Eastern India Region, reflecting the growing demand for Nissan's products in this area," he said.

In October last year, Nissan showcased its premium SUVs X-Trail, Qashqai, and Juke in India and announced the launch plans of these SUVs.

X-Trail and Qashqai are undergoing feasibility tests in and around the company’s facilities in Chennai.

Nissan has also announced that X-Trail would be the first model that would be introduced in the Indian market once the tests conclude successfully. The Nissan X-Trail is a premium SUV, available in both 5 and 7-seater.
