Nissan Magnite engine and gearbox details
Nissan will sell the Magnite in the Indian market with two engine options, a 72hp, 1.0-litre, naturally aspirated unit paired to a 5-speed manual, and a 1.0-litre, turbo-charged unit (HRA0) that’s good for 100hp and 160Nm of torque. The 1.0 turbo-petrol will come with the choice of either a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic (with which torque drops to 152Nm). There will be no diesel engine option on the Magnite.
Nissan Magnite variants, pricing and rivals
The Magnite compact SUV will have a wide variant break-up and a long features list – XE, XL, XV High and XV Premium, and there will also be a Technology pack on offer that is expected to cost Rs 25,000-30,000 more.
With the aggressive starting price of Rs 5.50 lakh, Nissan will surely have an edge over its rivals, as it will undercut all other compact SUVs like the Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV300, Tata Nexon, Ford EcoSport, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and the Toyota Urban Cruiser in our market.
