Apart from more powerful engine options, the Tata Nexon also offers more premium features over the Nissan Magnite

The Nissan Magnite recently got its much-needed midlife update that brought with it subtle design changes and an updated set of features for the SUV. The Magnite, being a subcompact SUV, fends off segment stalwarts such as the Tata Nexon, which is a more premium offering. Here’s how the updated Magnite compares to the Nexon in terms of specifications and features on paper.

Wheelbase	2500 mm	2498 mm	+ 2 mm
Ground Clearance	205 mm	208 mm	- 3mm

While both SUVs are nearly equal in terms of length, the Nexon is wider and taller than the Magnite by 46 and 48 mm, respectively.
Both the Magnite and Nexon are also close in terms of wheelbase, with the former taking the lead by a small margin.
That said, it’s the Nexon that offers slightly extra ground clearance and 46 litres of additional boot area compared to the Magnite.

Though both Magnite and Nexon are feature loaded, it’s the Tata Nexon which looks more premium thanks to its premium lighting elements.

The Nexon comes equipped with a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch fully digital driver’s display, and a 9-speaker sound system. In contrast, the Magnite has a smaller 8-inch screen and a 7-inch digital driver’s display, along with a 6-speaker sound system.

Over the Magnite, the Nexon offers premium features like ventilated front seats and a panoramic sunroof. The Tata SUV, however, misses out on ambient lighting that is present in the Magnite.
In terms of safety, both get 6 airbags (as standard) along with a 360-degree camera setup. The 360-degree camera on the Nexon also has blind view monitoring feature. The Tata SUV also comes with electronic stability control (ESC) which is not offered with the Magnite.

Price Range

2024 Nissan Magnite	Tata Nexon
Rs 5.99 lakh to Rs 11.50 lakh (introductory)	Rs 8 lakh to Rs 15.50 lakh

All prices are ex-showroom Delhi

The starting price of the Nissan Magnite is Rs 2 lakh lower than that of the Tata Nexon. Also, the Nexon tops at Rs 15.50 lakh, which is Rs 4 lakh higher than the price of the top-spec Magnite.

Final Takeaway

The Nissan Magnite offers better value for money compared to the Nexon as it includes all the necessary and a few nice-to-have features at a lower price. Thanks to its recent update, it now looks more premium than its predecessor. The Nissan Magnite is limited to naturally aspirated petrol and turbo-petrol engine options. However, it’s important to note that the Magnite’s turbo-petrol variant provides good drivability and doesn’t feel underpowered, unlike its naturally aspirated petrol version.

However, the Tata Nexon, owing to its higher price range not only offers more desirable features, such as a panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats, but additionally also gets CNG and diesel engine options, along with a wide range of transmission options.

If you want a more premium-looking subcompact SUV with a long features list and powerful engine options, you should consider the Tata Nexon. However, if you are on a tight budget but seeking a subcompact SUV with all necessary features, the Magnite makes for a worthy pick.
