DRAG RACE: Maruti Suzuki Fronx vs Nissan Magnite - Boost is the secret | Autocar India

[@shaktis6877]

maruti should also bring 1.4l turbo in india as it is the largest market for suzuki , still they are not that agressive in launching engines for india

[@shubhamhandore9235]

1.4L turbo engine will be end for other manufacturers 😂

Now why should I watch this video?? 🙃

[@theraildynasty_]

Nissan also has amazing engines but the engine that is available in the Magnite is a Renault sourced economy engine.......

Do not watch.. who is forcing you?

[@cardevta8534]

I m surprised that magnite is nearly 60 percent of the fronx price and 90 percent performance of fronx....hatsoff to Nissan for vfm car....and magnite is also 4 star safety car

[@harbinderss]

My Ignis is 60% the price of SUVs and 90% the performance and space. So does this logic stand there too. 😂

[@nayneshdev]

​@@harbinderssyes it does...ignis is seriously good car....but with no safety rating published

[@harbinderss]

@@nayneshdev yes published. Mine is 2017 model: 3 stars in euro ncap in 2017, 3 stars in global ncap in 2019, sane car no upgrades but 2022 global ncap new rules wanted 4 airbags so 1 star in revised global ncap. I would say it's a sturdy vehicle. Had scored 3 stars in euro ncap once. So should be good.

[@nayneshdev]

@@harbinderss very good, didn't know.... excellent car is Ignis...I considered it but bought magnite turbo.... my family didn't like the rear of ignis. My cousin had magnite turbo since 2020 he is fully satisfied (driven 90k) and quite liked the car as well

[@vishu2442]

​@@harbindersshave both the cars there is a big difference in driving experience and safety, ignis has smoother engine tho.

[@downtown-wn2el]

2500 rpm long torque band of suzuki is crazy 🤯🔥

[@shivvashishthabhargava4600]

The 1.0L Boosterjet is such an underrated engine. A hooligan to drive and a gem of a powerplant, first found in the Baleno RS in 2017. Really tractable, proper fun. Having had one in the family, all I can say is that the 1.4L Turbo must be a future inclusion in MSIL's portfolio. 3rd gear in the 1.0L Boosterjet is a LOT OF FUN! Competition for the 1.0L/1.5 TSI powerplants? MSIL with a turbocharged duo at more reasonable prices? 1.0L and 1.4L Boosterjet's should now both be here! Hoping it comes.

[@harikrishnansp6069]

Yes. They should be the low volume enthusiast focussed engines in MSIL portfolio. They are too focussed on volumes. Having such models with good performance helps build brand image

[@sbmohankumarpsg88]

It seems they are using non turbo magnite. I don’t see turbo batch in rear

[@rajeshdash001]

Even with a higher toque and lower bodyweight, the Magnite lost both of the times, would be interesting to watch 2 more laps with the drivers swapped as well.

[@danielvipin7163]

Fronx has a mild hybrid setup , helping it till around 4k rpm for boost in lower gears greatly improving acceleration.

[@tijokurian3820]

The main reason for Fronx winning the race is due to aerodynamics. Fronx is a lower and more streamlined car. Might be the drivers have also different capabilities.

[@tamilcultureandcuisines3145]

The main reason is they used magnite non turbo variant

[@Airavat2305]

@@tamilcultureandcuisines3145 That's a very good observation bro 👍 Turbo variant also comes in mono tone colours, but you might be right that it's not a turbo variant because it doesn't have the badge on the back. PS - I too own a turbo variant

[@VamsiMohanKrishnaVadrevu]

Where's the turbo badge for the Nissan Magnite? If it was a turbo variant, it would have had the badge on the left side. And if it was a CVT, it would have that badge on the right side.

[@AliRaza-iu9ix]

Bro if it had been the non turbo magnite it would be like fronx chilling at the finish line for hours waiting for the magnite to finish the race

[@sanem2555]

Magnite Turbo won against Brezza and Sonet earlier. Wonder if the tyres on the magnite where not that worn out, would the result be different? Either way, have been driving my Magnite Turbo CVT for some time and can vouch for the excellent driving experience. It extremely pulling as such and also has an additional sport mode which if used takes the car on a rocket mode.

[@pistonhead05]

Bro, magnite turbo should have easily won, nobody is looking at the tyres of magnite, they were completely worn out, that's why it didn't won

[@Akhil-gd7lp]

[@amogus9440]

[@mishraaaryaan]

Brezza is non-turbo and heavier than Magnite so it's obvious that the Magnite will win

[@goqul]

It's nice to see Autocar posting more drag race videos lately.

[@pistonhead05]

1:33, look how magnite's front tyres have worn out, they're completely bald, that's why it was spinning a lot during launch otherwise it would have won easily

Was it even the Turbo variant of Magnite?? Turbo badging was missing on Magnite's back.

[@inpursuitofhappiness366]

Well the magnite turbo did win against the Brezza. Guess torque matters Next shall be fronx vs Citroen c3 turbo Or fronx vs grand vitara hybrid

[@amaljoe367]

C3 turbo will probably smoke the fronx

[@sarfthesurfer]

With more torque on offer i am sure the Magnite would win the race if its stretched another 100 mtrs.

[@THOMASWINGRIDER]

Is it really a turbo variant for magnite ? I see no turbo badge on the rear of magnite at @0.56

[@justlikethat8213]

Exactly....I noticed the same.

[@brilltwoant27]

If you check the vehicle info from RTO, it's XV Premium Turbo. These guys have masked the numberplate and have put H instead of J in the thumbnail tho. However, I don't think this drag race is valid. I wonder how on earth these guys run Autocar India. Absolute crap reviewers with little or no attention to details. In short: kaam chalau.

[@brilltwoant27]

no badges and also if it's a XV Pre, there should be Sharkfin antenna. something is weird

Ye magnite turbo variant nahi hai boss

[@tamilcultureandcuisines3145]

It doesn't look like magnite turbo. No "turbo" Badging behind magnite. Usually turbo variants have dual tone interiors. But both are missing in the magnite car used. Not expected this from u guys

Took test drive of all three Punch, magnite, Kiger. Magnite feels the lightest. Punch and Fronx had the best handling and feel.

[@devaiahmv4037]

It's just the fact that helped fronx is shorter gear ratio which all Suzuki car opts for better FE. Shorter gear ratios will help in quicker acceleration..

[@TheVivekgk]

Its the CVT gearbox in the Magnite that is holding back the performance. The Fronx's Torque Converter gearbox has the advantage in acceleration but if you consider the daily use, the CVT will be much smoother and more efficient. But if you want raw performance over all, then the Fronx wins.

[@isyisy8282]

Magnite, truely Big, Bold and Beautiful.

This is not a magnite turbo varient. If it is a turbo engine, then turbo badge should be there in back left side. I’m a Magnite XV Premium turbo CVT owner. So i clearly know the different.

Magnite is lighter and have more tourque , despite all that fronx wins , that said suzuki makes the best engines in India right now , they should bring 1.4L turbo for their brezza and GV as well and introduced this 1.0Lturbo engine in most popular hatch swift.
