Nissan has launched its first sub-4m SUV, the Magnite, in India. it’s available in five broad variants: XE, XL, XV, XV Premium and XV Premium (O).
The carmaker is offering the SUV with a couple of segment-first features like a 360-degree camera, 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other features on offer include 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, control , and auto AC with rear AC vents. Nissan has also introduced a Tech Pack for the higher-specced XV and XV Premium variants of the SUV. it’s priced at Rs 38,698 (same for all variants) and includes a wireless charger, an air purifier, high-end JBL speakers, LED scuff plates, ambient lighting, and puddle lamps. Here’s a glance at the variants that are are offered with it and their prices:
You can have the Magnite in either one among the five monotone shades or pick from the three dual-tone options. Nissan has priced the dual-tone variants at a premium of Rs 14,000 over their corresponding monotone counterparts. Since it’s the foremost affordable SUV within the segment, even its dual-tone variants cost but those of its rivals.
The Magnite may be a petrol-only SUV. It gets either the Renault Triber’s 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (72PS/96Nm) or a replacement 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit. While the previous is mated to a 5-speed MT only, the latter are often had with either a 5-speed MT or CVT. It churns out 100PS and 160Nm (152Nm with the CVT gearbox).
Nissan’s sub-4m SUV may be a direct rival to the Ford EcoSport, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Toyota Urban Cruiser, and therefore the upcoming Renault Kiger.
