JOHANNESBURG - THE compact SUV/crossover B segment has just become a bit more competitive with the introduction of Nissanâs Magnite.
Itâs a competitive segment to be sure that includes Kiaâs Sonet, Ford EcoSport, Honda WR-V, Toyota Urban Cruiser and the Suzuki Vitara Brezza.
From a consumerâs point of view thatâs not a bad thing as the world swings more towards SUVs and budgets and disposal income are squeezed ever tighter.
