Nissan India has received over 50,000 bookings of the Nissan Magnite since its launch on December 2, 2020. Over 5,000 of these bookings have come from the brand's online platform and the rest via dealerships. Nissan has delivered 10,000 units of the Magnite so far. Buyers of the Nissan Magnite seem to prefer the top XV and XV Premium variants, with over 60 per cent of the bookings coming for these variants. The CVT has been reasonably popular, accounting for 15 per cent of these bookings.

Notably, Nissan India has protected prices of the Magnite for customers who have made bookings for the compact SUV despite an increase in prices. The Magnite starts from Rs 5.59 lakh for the base XE variant going up to Rs 9.90 lakh for the XV Premium Turbo CVT Dual Tone. See what you get for each variant of the Nissan Magnite here.

The base engine option is the 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, naturally-aspirated petrol making 72PS at 6,250 rpm and 96 Nm at 3,500rpm. This motor pairs with a five-speed manual. The headlining motor though is a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol that makes 100PS at 5,000 rpm and 160 Nm at 2,800-3,600rpm. The torque output drops to 152 Nm at 2,200-4,400 rpm. The ARAI certified fuel efficiency figure for the Magnite is 18.75 kmpl for the N/A petrol, 20 kmpl for the turbo-manual and 17.7 kmpl for the turbo-CVT. The Nissan Magnite has a 4-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating.

Top-spec versions get 16-inch diamond-cut alloys, LED daytime running lamps (DRL) and foglamps, 8-inch floating touch screen (with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), 7-inch TFT instrument cluster, voice recognition, rear-view camera, push-button start, LED bi-projector headlamps, cruise control, 360-degree around-view monitor, tire pressure monitor and an all-black interior theme. An optional Tech pack, a Rs 39,000 accessory, further adds wireless charger, air purifier, ambient mood lighting, puddle lamps and JBL speakers. This is how the Nissan Magnite stacks up against its rivals.
