Nissan Magnite CNG prices
CNG kit is a dealer-level fitment for an extra Rs 75,000
Nissan offers the single-cylinder CNG kit for the Magnite with the 1.0-litre three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine only. A 5-speed manual gearbox is standard. As the Magnite with the 1.0-litre NA engine is available in 6 variants, the CNG kit is also available in the same 6 variants but costs Rs 75,000 more.
The CNG kit is supplied by Motozen, and installation will be carried out at government-authorised fitment centres. A 3-year/1 lakh km warranty is standard with the CNG fitment. The brand also states that in Phase 2, dealer-level CNG fitment will be rolled out to more states across India.

Magnite CNG prices start below those of the Punch and Exter CNG
Priced between Rs 6.89 lakh and Rs 10.02 lakh, the Nissan Magnite CNG is well-positioned compared to rivals like the Tata Punch CNG and Hyundai Exter CNG. Interestingly, the Kiger CNG's kit – a dealer-level fitment – also costs Rs 75,000 more than the equivalent variant.
