Nissan India marked its entry into the highly competitive sub-4 metre SUV segment with the all-new Magnite. Within 5 days of its arrival, the model gathered over 5,000 bookings along with over 50,000 enquiries. The carmaker has also confirmed that the top-end XV and XV Premium variants are high in demand with over 60% bookings. While 30% customers opted for the CVT automatic variants, 40% bookings have been made via digital platform.
The Nissan Magnite has been made available at an introductory price of Rs 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The company is also offering an optional Technology Pack on the top three trims. It offers some extra goodies including LED scuff plates, ambient mood lighting, puddle lamps, wireless charger, air purifier and high-end JNL speakers. It comes at an additional cost of Rs 39,000. The entire model lineup is spread across four trim levels – XE, XL, XV and XV Premium.
The subcompact SUV can be had either with a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol or a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. While the former is good enough for 71bhp and 96Nm, the latter one pushes out a peak power of 99bhp and 160Nm of torque. Both engines get a 5-speed manual transmission as standard. The Magnite is available with a CVT (continuously variable transmission) unit with the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. One must note that the maximum torque of the CVT variant has been limited to 152Nm. Read – Nissan Magnite Vs Sonet, Venue Petrol
