Nissan Motor India has launched a vehicle exchange program in collaboration with used car platform Spinny, promising to complete the evaluation and exchange process within 55 minutes. The program, announced on March 20, 2026, is available across the current Nissan lineup at dealerships in 30 cities nationwide, and can be accessed both at physical dealership counters and through Spinny's digital interface.

  1. Exchange program can be availed across current Nissan lineup 
  2. Can be availed at both Nissan dealerships and Spinny’s digital platforms 
  3. Customers to get an exchange bonus on purchase of a new Nissan car 

Under the arrangement, dedicated Spinny evaluators are deployed at Nissan sales touchpoints to assess trade-in vehicles on the spot, based on demand and scheduled appointments. Customers who exchange their vehicles — either through physical counters at Nissan dealerships or through Spinny's digital platform — are eligible for an exchange bonus on the purchase of a new Nissan vehicle. A notable procedural change under the program is that a Spinny-issued "Selling Letter" is accepted as valid proof of exchange, removing the requirement for transferred RC (Registration Certificate) documentation. The company says this simplification is intended to reduce friction in what has traditionally been a paperwork-heavy process for Indian car buyers.

The program consolidates buying, selling, and exchange into a single location, positioning it as a one-stop process for customers looking to upgrade their vehicles. Nissan says the 55-minute timeline represents a departure from conventional exchange timelines at dealerships, which often involve multiple visits, independent vehicle assessments, and extended documentation procedures.

Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director of Nissan Motor India, said the program reflects the company's broader commitment to building a customer-first ecosystem. "Strengthening our collaboration with Spinny and introducing faster exchange timelines reinforces our focus on convenience, transparency, and value for our customers and dealer partners — while supporting our broader growth in the country," he said. Niraj Singh, Founder and CEO of Spinny, echoed the sentiment, describing the collaboration as a shared effort to make vehicle upgrades more transparent and rewarding for buyers across India.
