                NISSAN MAGNITE

Nissan Magnite is New compact suv from Nissan . Nissan Magnite is built on the Renault-Nissan CMF-A platform and upcoming Renault compact suv will use the same platform. Nissan Magnite is a muscular looking compact suv .

ENGINE:- Nissan offers two Petrol Engines One Is turbo charged and second is Naturally Aspirated engine which is used In Renault Triber.

 

Naturally Aspirated 1.0 L petrol engine engine produces 71 PS (@6250rpm) and 96 NM (@3500) which is very low figures for a compact suv .

 The Turbo charged 1.0 L engine produces 99 PS (@5000rpm) and 160NM (@2800rpm) but the thing is This is the Manual Transmission figures if you choose CVT Transmission then you have to compromise with the torque it will produce 150 NM .

Insulation is there but the thing is engine shakes a little bit on idle condition and you feel it inside the cabin as well because it’s a three cylinder engine .

EXTERIOR:- Nissan Magnite is a good looking compact suv . It looks Muscular and Attract. The design of the car looks very good and attractive.

 

 Nissan has done a very good job in terms of looks and design of Magnite. Diamond cut alloys looks very good and it’s new Grill looks good too. The headlight and Fog lights are LED’s .

 

 while DRLs and indicators are of halogen. There is front parking camera on the grill . There is Rear spoiler which looks very good. Nice chrome line everywhere chrome door handle .

 

INTERIOR AND CABIN SPACE:- Interior quality of Nissan Magnite is definitely premium it looks good and offers better quality from it’s rivals in term of interior quality. The front seats offers good comfort but the Arm rest doesn’t move or open while the rear seat gets centre arm rest and offers good leg and knee room but under thigh support Is lacking and headroom Is just about adequate .

 

 Door pockets are big and you can easily store 1L water bottles and the glove box is decent size but the fit & finish quality Is poor in some places. The dashboard looks good and different the buttons feels good to touch. The steering wheel feels good to hold.

 

The boot size is of decent size but the loading hip is high. There are few places where Nissan could’ve done better like there is no dead paddle, there is no sunroof, you can feel the car is shaking on idle condition due to three cylinder engine, fit and finish quality could’ve better.

 

Overall It’s a nice a car which offer good interior quality and space for the price it offers.

FEATURES AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER :-

Nissan Magnite offers good features like there is Rear Ac vents and 12w socket, it gets wireless charging pad and 12w socket along with a usb.

 

There is front and Rear camera and a 360 degree camera, start stop button. Instrument cluster is all digital unit and you will get all the information from it. There is tyre pressure  monitering system and many other things.

Drivability:- If you ask me then don’t buy the Naturally Aspirated petrol engine and go with the turbo charged petrol engine because it will perform good in city and in highway too.

 

The performance Is decent and good in car but motor becomes quite vocal in higher rev ranges but overall power is good  but they should have offered 6 gears in manual transmission and If you choose cvt transmission they you have to compromise with fun, mileage and 10PS torque because in cvt it produces less torque than manual and the comfort is good because of soft suspension but the ride and handling is not good and in highspeed it doesn’t provide confidence too.

 The breaks are good. The steering doesn’t have any feel which isn’t expected from Nissan . The manual Returns 20KMPL and CVT Returns 18KMPL.

POSITIVES:- Feature loaded compact suv, good interior , value for money, good engine and gearbox,  Good looking.

NEGATIVES:- Car shakes on idle, Bad handling, fit and finish quality could’ve improved.
