Nissan has absolutely disrupted the sub-compact SUV space with the launch of the Magnite. Priced from INR 4.99 lakh, and going up to INR 9.35 lakh, the Nissan Magnite not only undercuts the price of all its rivals, but it is priced at par or even lower than some premium hatchbacks. These prices are however introductory and valid up to December 31, 2020, after which, we expect the prices to go up by about INR 50,000 for each of the variants.
Nissan is offering two petrol engine options with the Magnite here in India. There's a 72hp, 1.0L naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 100hp 1.0L turbo-petrol engine. Now these are not class leading numbers but 1.0L turbo-petrol engine does a fine job in hauling the Magnite around pretty swiftly. It will only feel slow when compared to its rivals. The base 1.0L engine solely comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox while the turbo-petrol engine additionally also gets the option of a CVT automatic gearbox.
