Final Takeaway
The 2024 Nissan Magnite comes out as the most value for money option as it offers more boot space, looks more premium thanks to leatherette upholstery, and most importantly due to its lower price point compared both Maruti Fronx and Toyota Taisor. The Magnite also gets the option of a turbo-petrol engine which has a higher torque output compared to turbo versions of Fronx and Taisor.
The Maruti Fronx however is also a good choice as it offers a more powerful naturally aspirated petrol engine which offers a smooth driving experience. What else makes Fronx standout here is its Grand Vitara like exterior styling. Also, owing to Maruti’s large after sales network in India, the Fronx has an edge over the Nissan SUV. On other hand, the Toyota Taisor, a rebadged version of the Fronx, offers the same set of amenities and same powertrain options as the Fronx, with Taisor being slightly more expensive, but offers a better service experience than its Maruti counterpart.
So, if you are looking for a premium cabin experience at a lower price point, you can choose 2024 Magnite. However, if you are looking for a non-turbo car in this price range, Fronx and Taisor are definitely worth considering.
