Hyundai Exter vs Maruti Suzuki Fronx

45 Ratings

Good but not so great!

First of all it is a great bang for the buck. There is no other car with all the features provided by Nissan Magnite. Pros Larger car. Neat design. Good engine. Spacious interior. Feature loaded. Cons Visibility (seat height) Low mileage and power, Location of Service station , Door interior plastic quality could have been improved, Rear boot lock, My experience till now Driving experience. I bought Nissan Magnite base variant on April 2023 and finished 6000 kilometers on it. There are few short comings like engine is not up to mark, it is smooth but doesn't pack any kick. At lower gears you will find it lacking power(obviously because of 1.0 liter engine for this bigger car). No vibration at all from engine during idle or while driving. Road visibility is also a big problem for me as I'm 5.6" tall but couldn't find road base and side blind spots are graver. But I got used to it after a few kilometers. Still it's corner visibility is very poor due to side beam and placement of orvms(should be improved for safety reasons). Due to this taking a sharp right is worry some and dangerous because I couldn't see oncoming vehicles or pedestrian. No leg room near petal for resting your foot during long drives or cruising. Mileage. 14 km/l average. No, I mean can't expect more but not even 15 km/l is sad. When I enquired about this from a showroom staff they said after 1st service there will be more mileage. Features . A lot of features like rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, abs, traction control, all power windows, seatbelt warning for both driver and front passenger, But no door ajar warning, no key rear boot lock. This is the most I'm pissed at because ever time I have to get inside the car to lock and unlock the rear boot. Very annoying and tiresome. No auto headlamp off, even if you turn off ignition and lock the car the headlights will still be on, you have to switch off them manually every time. Showroom and servicing There are no service facility available for Nissan in my city, so I have to book for door step service for an extra amount, and it takes 2-3 days for first checkup. Service is only after 10000 kilometers or one year.
