Nissan Magnite

Purchase year - 2021 Kms driven - 44000 kms On road price - 800000/- Other models considered at the time of purchase - venue, aura, nexon, kiger, tigor, i10 grand Reason why I chose Magnite over above - Venue : was costlier and had less space than Magnite. Didn't like the design either aura : reviews were not good and safety ratings were not good Nexon : out of budget and the brilliance of Tata service centres, maintenance cost Kiger : almost the same, but slight costlier and Renault service experience Tigor : Tata service centres and not that good looking I10 grand : safety ratings and a hatchback instead of SUV/Sedan Pros : the space. Yes, its so spacious and you will feel like you are driving a big car Boot space - too much luggage can fit in this. It mentions 370ltr but it can accommodate luggage of 3 people Leg space - decent space for passengers Mileage - 14-16 in city and 18-20 on highway. Very happy with it. Ride quality - it glides on highways and you don't feel like driving a smaller capacity car Handling - it's good. You feel confident while driving Speakers - sound quality of the speakers given by company is exceptional. You don't have to get anything else installed Value for money - feature like ORVM, real wipers, all 4 power windows feel good at this price point Service cost - it's reasonable coz I have seen people paying 8-9k per service to maruti and Tata service centers. It costs my around 3.5k to 4k at an average per service, including the cost of the maintenance plan Cons : headlights - are poor. Had to get after-market LEDs installed (myTVS) Cabin noise - engine noise is audible sometimes, while it's not a deal breaker but I have been in more silent cars. Though it's non-existent Reverse gear - makes vibration and noise. Not sure but the company claims it's normal Overall summary : It's a perfect car and great value for money product. Couldn't have asked for anything else at this price. Have done too many long rides on all kinds of terrains and it has proved its reliability.

Overall good car, for a medium-class family, it's good car. It's good car in low cost very good strength

Been driving this car for just over a month now. When we started looking, the requirement was very clear: a spacious automatic for daily office use in Mumbai, easy enough for my wife (a new driver), effortless ingress and egress for aged parents, and rear passenger headrests for long-drive comfort. With this checklist in mind, I had been extensively reviewing cars for over a year and had firmly concluded NOT TO BUY NISSAN. By December 2025, the search narrowed down to the usual suspects — Tata, Hyundai, and Maruti — with a strong bias towards closing on a Wagon R AMT. Over nearly four weekends, we sat in and evaluated almost everything within or slightly above our budget: Tiago, Tigor, Altroz, Punch, i10, Exter, Wagon R, and Fronx. In many of these cars, we didn’t even feel the need to fire up the engine or take a test drive — the basic requirements just weren’t there. Eventually, though still not fully satisfied, we were almost about to close on the Altroz. Then, almost by fluke, we happened to pass a Nissan showroom — despite having a very clear mindset of not buying one. We stepped in, sat inside, and everything changed. The space on offer was immediately impressive. Seating front and rear felt ergonomically spot-on, ingress and egress were just right, and the dashboard was refreshingly no-nonsense. The driving experience itself wasn’t mind-blowing — honestly, not at the level of my old Maruti Ritz or even the new Altroz — more in the same bandwidth as a Tigor. Yet, somehow, everything felt right. Despite the known reliability concerns, we didn’t overthink it as we did elsewhere. Decision made, no time wasted. Now, after living with the car for over a month, I can confidently vouch for the real-world driving experience. This is not a car for enthusiasts. From a signal stop, it creeps forward gently, and people behind will honk during the first 3–5 seconds. However, once it settles into its sweet spot around 20 km/h, it drives comfortably and smoothly up to about 65–70 km/h. Beyond that, acceleration isn’t as linear and does take time. This sweet driving zone really rewards a soft-foot driving style Fuel efficiency has been quite realistic and in line with expectations: ~9 km/l in heavy Mumbai evening traffic 13–14 km/l in mixed city conditions 19 km/l on traffic-free Sunday city drives 23 km/l on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway, cruising at 70–80 km/h After checking with friends using other brands, these numbers are fairly comparable and not out of line with what most cars actually deliver. I also started noticing something interesting — no matter how quickly other cars accelerate in city traffic, they’re not really reaching any sooner than you would in this one. That realisation came after the first few days, when I used to get genuinely irritated by how this car refused to break speed limits even on hard acceleration. Once you tune into its rhythm, it becomes very easy to live with. Yes, the engine does vibrate a bit when in reverse gear, but honestly, that’s not a deal breaker given everything else it offers. What this car truly gets right for me are the basics: well-sized seats, excellent ergonomics, a simple and intuitive dashboard, just the right features (nothing flashy or overdone), easy ingress for elders, and interior finish quality that feels better than any Maruti I’ve experienced. If you’re in the market for a new car, my only advice would be this: make a clear list of your requirements, then physically sit in every car you possibly can. Don’t rely only on reviews or opinions. Somewhere along the way, there will be a moment — almost like a divine intervention — that tells you this is the right car for you.

Vehicle performance and the AMT gear box is excellent. I did not expect such a value for the money spent. The space is also plenty. Perfect for a family man, the vehicle's ground clearance is excellent, not to worry about bad roads and speed breakers. Maintaining a speed of 85 km/h will give a miracle in mileage.
