Nissan Magnite Acenta

I took a short test drive of the Magnite Acenta Petrol Manual and really enjoyed it. It felt confident on the road and gave me a great feeling behind the wheel. I came away impressed and would recommend taking a test drive.

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.
