Nissan has brought out a new version of its popular Magnite SUV. It still costs the same but now has many new and exciting features, with a big focus on safety. This update wants to make the Magnite even better in the tough small SUV market by giving customers more for their money.
Main Things About the New Nissan Magnite
- 360-Degree Camera: A really helpful new thing is the 360-degree camera system. This lets drivers see all around their car, making parking and moving in tight spots much easier and safer. The system puts together pictures from different cameras to show a view from above the car.
- Six Airbags for Safety: Safety is a top priority, and the new Nissan Magnite now has six airbags as a standard feature in all models. This includes front, side, and curtain airbags for better protection if there’s a crash.
- Same Price: Even though it has these great new safety and helpful features, Nissan has surprisingly kept the prices the same for the Magnite. The prices you see in showrooms in India are still about ₹6.14 Lakh to ₹11.76 Lakh, depending on the model. This makes the Magnite an even better deal in its class.
- Other Good Features: The Nissan Magnite already had a lot of features inside, and these are still there in the new version. Depending on the model, you can expect things like an 8-inch touchscreen for entertainment that works wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital screen for the driver’s info, sensors and a camera for parking in reverse, help for starting on hills, control to keep the car stable, and a roomy inside.
Focus on Safety
Putting in six airbags as standard is a big improvement in safety for the Nissan Magnite. Before, the basic models only had two airbags in the front. Adding side and curtain airbags gives important protection if there’s a crash from the side or if the car rolls over. Along with other safety features like ABS (a system to stop wheels from locking up) with EBD (which makes sure the brakes work well), Brake Assist, and Traction Control, the new Magnite offers a complete safety package. A global safety test group previously gave the Nissan Magnite a 4-star safety rating for how well it protects adults.
How It Drives
The new version of the Nissan Magnite still has the same engine choices:
- 1.0-liter Normal Petrol: This engine has 72 HP and is good for driving in the city, giving good gas mileage.
- 1.0-liter Turbo-Petrol: This stronger engine has 100 HP, making driving more fun, especially on highways.
You can choose between a 5-speed manual gearbox for both engines, an AMT (automatic-like manual) for the normal petrol engine, and a CVT (a type of automatic) for the turbo-petrol engine.
Who It Competes With
The Nissan Magnite is in the very competitive market for small SUVs (under 4 meters long), going up against cars like the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Renault Kiger. With its better safety features, including the 360-degree camera and six airbags, and still having good prices, the new Magnite wants to make a stronger place for itself in this busy market.
In Conclusion
The new version of the Nissan Magnite is a great choice for people looking for a stylish, feature-packed, and now safer small SUV without spending more money. Adding the 360-degree camera and making six airbags standard in all models really makes it a better deal, making it a strong competitor in its class. Nissan will hope that these updates will make the Magnite even more popular and sell even better in India.
