Nissan Magnite SUV Prices Leaked!

The base-spec Vitara Brezza-rivalling Magnite SUV costs less than a base-spec Maruti Dzire

Update (02/12/2020): Nissan has launched the Magnite with prices beginning from Rs 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Read more about it here.

Nissan is gearing up to launch the Magnite SUV in India. While the carmaker has revealed most of the details of the upcoming SUV, its prices will be announced during the expected launch later this year. The launch is still a while away, but we’ve got our hands on the prices of the upcoming SUV thanks to a leaked document.

As per the leaked image, the Magnite will be priced from Rs 5.50 lakh to Rs 9.55 lakh. Here are the detailed prices of the Magnite:

As seen in the table and known before, the Magnite will be offered in four variants: XE, XL, XV and XV Premium. It will come with two engine options: a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol (72PS/96Nm) and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit (100PS/160Nm). Where Nissan is offering the 1.0-litre NA petrol engine as standard across all the variants, the 1.0-litre turbo petrol is not being offered on the base-spec XE variant. Both the engines are mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is available with an option of CVT as well. 

In terms of features, the Magnite will be equipped with various segment-first features such as a 360-degree camera, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, 7-inch driver’s display and JBL sound system. Other features on the Magnite include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, hill launch assist, electronic stability control, tyre pressure monitor, wireless charger, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, LED headlamps and cruise control. 

With these prices, the Magnite will become the most affordable SUV in its class. In fact, the Magnite is even more affordable than the most popular sub-4m sedan in the country, the Maruti Dzire, which is priced from Rs 5.89 lakh to Rs 8.80 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). 

Here is a sub-4m SUV price comparison. Since the Magnite is a petrol-only offering, we have only compared the petrol prices of all the SUVs. That said, except for the Vitara Brezza and Urban Cruiser, all the SUVs here are offered with a diesel engine as well. 

The base-spec Magnite undercuts its closest rival by Rs 1.21 lakh. The top-spec variant, on the other hand, is more affordable by almost Rs 1.5 lakh. So, if the official prices of the Magnite are anywhere close to the leaked prices, it could be an instant hit in the Indian market considering its value-for-money quotient.
