Nissan is offering the Magnite with amenities like an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, automatic AC, and 4-colour ambient lighting.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor cabin

The Fronx and Taisor offer a bigger 9-inch touchscreen but miss out on 4-colour ambient lighting. Instead, you get footwell lighting with these two crossovers.
All three models here get cruise control, wireless phone charger, push-button start/stop, and a 6-speaker sound system. The Fronx and Taisor additionally comes with a head up display.
In terms of safety, the Magnite offers 6 airbags as standard, along with a 360-degree camera, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and hill hold assist.
Maruti and Toyota are not offering their respective crossovers with 6 airbags as standard. However these crossover SUVs get a 360-degree camera and hill hold assist.

2024 Nissan Magnite	Maruti Fronx	Toyota Taisor
Rs 5.99 lakh to Rs 11.50 lakh	Rs 7.52 lakh to Rs 13.04 lakh	Rs 7.74 lakh and Rs 13.04 lakh

The Nissan Magnite boasts lower starting and top-spec prices compared to the Maruti Fronx and Toyota Taisor.

Final Takeaway

Nissan Magnite facelift

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.
