Trending Questions on Nissan Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
My budget is Rs. 10 lakh. I drive around 250 km per week, and once every six months, I travel about 500 km out of the station. I am a senior citizen looking for an automatic petrol SUV. Which car would you recommend? Also, would it be better to buy a new car or a used one?
Go for a new Nissan Magnite, at your Rs. 10 lakh budget, you will get a decently equipped variant. As a sub-4 meter SUV, you will find the car easy to manage within the city and on the highway. The suspension delivers a stable ride, making it a confident cruiser. This is something you will appreciate on your twice-a-year long drive. You can also consider the Hyundai Exter. This Hyundai car is smaller in size, but that would make it a bit easier to park, and it's also more refined and within your budget, you will get a variant with all the basic features.
I want to buy a 4-seater petrol automatic non-AMT car/SUV in the 12 lakh range. I already have an 8-year-old Baleno, which has done 23000 kms, which I will give in exchange.
Go for the Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT automatic. Your running is low, and this is one of the few petrol non-AMT options that stays close to your Rs. 12 lakh budget, while being genuinely easy to drive every day. The CVT automatic is smooth in traffic, the steering is light, and the high ground clearance makes speed breakers and rough patches stress-free. It is sized right for the city yet fits four adults comfortably, and the boot is usable for weekend runs.Your 8-year-old, low-mileage Baleno should fetch a fair exchange, which keeps the upgrade cost sensible. Service costs on the Magnite are also friendly, so long-term ownership should be easy.Do note, the cabin plastics and refinement levels are not as nice as pricier rivals. If you prefer a hatchback instead of an SUV, the Hyundai i20 IVT is nicer inside and equally smooth.
My monthly running is approximately 200 km in Mumbai, along with one or two trips a year to nearby places. I am confused about whether buying a car even makes sense for my usage. For reference, I currently have three options in mind including Nissan Magnite Tekna+ MT, Mahindra XUV 3XO REVX Petrol MT and Maruti Brezza ZXI MT. If I do buy a car, my priorities are safety, space, features, and ease of driving in the city.
With just 200 km a month in Mumbai and only one or two short road trips a year, buying a new car only makes sense if you value the convenience, safety and freedom of having your own vehicle more than pure cost efficiency. Financially, cabs and rentals would likely make more sense at this level of usage. But if the decision is driven by convenience and the comfort of having your own car available whenever you need it, then it can still absolutely be justified.Of your three options, the Brezza ZXi MT fits your brief best. It is simply the easiest to live with in the city thanks to its light controls, good all-round visibility and a comfortable ride that handles Mumbai’s broken roads well. This Maruti Suzuki car also offers good rear seat comfort and a practical boot for those occasional weekend trips, while being straightforward and stress-free to own.The XUV 3XO is the more feature-rich option and feels more substantial from a safety perspective, but it is the heavier car to drive in traffic and does not feel as effortless in everyday city use. The Magnite offers strong value, but compared to the other two, it does not feel as premium, and whether you choose the turbo or naturally aspirated petrol, this Nissan car does not feel quite as effortless to drive in urban conditions either. The Nissan Magnite price starts at 5.65 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Hi, I have been following Autocar’s Q&A section closely and find it very insightful. I am currently exploring options for my next car, although I do not plan to purchase 2027. The new Renault Duster (2026), especially the 1.3 Turbo variant, has really caught my attention, and I am keen to take a test drive. My primary usage will be city driving, with occasional long-distance trips. Since this will be my first new car purchase, there is also an emotional aspect attached to it. I really like the interiors of the Kia Seltos, although I am not a fan of its exterior design. I was also excited about the Tata Sierra, but I was somewhat disappointed after seeing it in person. The Tata Curvv, particularly the petrol (Hyperion) variant, seems more appealing in comparison. Overall, the new Duster stands out to me, and I have yet to find any major drawbacks with it. On the other hand, my wife prefers the Tata Harrier for its strong road presence and overall appeal, but I am unsure if it justifies the higher cost for a small family of two (plus a dog). What would you advise in this situation? I have seen you advise the Honda Elevate to a lot of people who mention that city driving is the majority. Also, since my purchase is planned for 2027, do you expect more suitable options to be available in this segment by then?
By 2027, you’ll have far more options to choose from, including (but not limited to) the Nissan Tekton (a Duster-equivalent), the next-gen Hyundai Creta, Honda’s new electric SUV, and several new-generation Mahindra SUVs. Do write in when you’re in the market for a new car with your exact requirements, and we’ll help solve your car-buying conundrum.
I have been driving a Maruti Suzuki S-Cross manual for the past 4 years. At 58, I now want to buy a sub-4-metre petrol automatic (CVT or torque converter) within a ₹14 lakh budget. It should offer good rear seat comfort, decent ground clearance, and adequate boot space. My annual running is around 6,000 km, with 60% on highways and hilly terrain. I prefer to avoid DCT due to potential heating issues in traffic. Which car would be the best choice?
Pick the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi AT, which costs around Rs 13.7 lakh on-road. The Brezza has a refined 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a smooth 6-speed torque converter automatic, which has a claimed efficiency of 19.8kpl. The Brezza also has one of the most roomiest back seats in the segment, and it has a substantial 328 litre boot. With a ground clearance of 198mm, it won't be an issue for you on your drives in hilly areas. Being a Maruti, service reach is wide, and you'll also appreciate the familiarity with your current S-Cross. The one thing you give up is a strong mid‑range punch; the 1.5 petrol feels a bit underpowered, so uphill overtakes with 4 adults may need a downshift and some planning.Alternatively, if you want a CVT gearbox, stronger performance and more boot space, consider the Nissan Magnite CVT.
