While Nissan India is yet to announce official pricing for the Magnite, a quick check with a few dealers reveals that pricing for the upcoming compact SUV will most likely be similar to the one leaked last week, and as reported by us recently, bookings for the SUV are in full swing and deliveries are expected to start sometime next month. This means the Magnite could see a starting price of Rs 5.50 lakh for the XE and Rs 9.55 lakh for the top-spec XV Premium CVT variant. Read the complete Nissan Magnite pricing break-up here.

Nissan Magnite engine and gearbox details
Nissan will sell the Magnite in the Indian market with two engine options: a 72hp, 1.0-litre, naturally aspirated unit paired to a 5-speed manual, and a 1.0-litre, turbo-charged unit (HRA0) that’s good for 100hp and 160Nm of torque. The 1.0 turbo-petrol will come with the choice of either a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic (with which torque drops to 152Nm). There will be no diesel engine option on the Magnite.
Nissan Magnite variants, pricing and rivals
The Magnite compact SUV will have a wide variant break-up and a long features list – XE, XL, XV High and XV Premium – and there will also be a Technology pack on offer that is expected to cost Rs 25,000-30,000 more. Read our Nissan Magnite variant break-up here.
