What community is saying on the Magnite?
There is no mechanical change to the Red Edition, and it can be had with either a 72hp, 1.0-litre NA petrol or a 100hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit, mated to either a 5-speed manual or a CVT. It is available in white or black single-tone colour options.
The Magnite, with its attractive price and well-equipped higher variants, has seen success in the Indian market. Nissan recently rolled out the 50,000th Magnite from its Oragadam plant near Chennai. The compact SUV is also exported to 15 countries.
