Should you really be looking at the top-spec XV Premium variant if you are planning to bring the Magnite home?

The Nissan Magnite’s pricing is such that even the top-spec automatic sells for under Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom). So does that mean you should just go for the top-spec variant? Or is it just giving you additional features that will pamper you but aren’t a must for everyday driving? We find out.

But before that, take a look at your engine options if you are going for the top XV Premium variant of the Magnite:

Verdict

The XV Premium variant of the Magnite is fully geared towards giving you a premium experience, instead of adding to your driving experience. Features such as the 360-degree camera and tyre pressure monitoring system enhance your experience of driving the Magnite, but can’t be called must haves. And the Rs 77,000 premium they are asking for it doesn’t feel justified for all the added features. Therefore, you should go for the XV Premium variant of the Magnite if you want your car to have all the latest features possible, and you are not really constrained by budget.
