Please drive the naturaly aspirated engine as you have suggested to extend the budget from going to Alto to magnite. And how best can it performs against swift and others cars in this price segment as all the other cars have more Horse power?

[@ankitbisaria]

Thank you for this

Hello Kartikeya, the Turbo CVT costs almost 3 lakhs more than the NA AMT. Is it worth spending the extra 3 lakhs, or does it seem to be spilling out of the VFM basket in general ?

Great news! Nissan has accomplished what its global competitor Toyota couldn’t - successfully creating high-quality small cars in India. While Toyota struggled to make compact models for the Indian market, Nissan’s approach shines. Yet, one wonders why they haven’t embraced Suzuki’s model of crafting India-specific cars with a global appeal. An India specific Patrol... Mouthwatering

[@motorinc]

Staaaaaaapppp! Have to make it through the work day! We’ll be day dreaming now.

[@berserkhorimiya]

Patrol is 5.3 meters long, it's impractical for India. No matter how much India spec you make it. Kicks on the other hand fits nicely as a competitor to Creta.

[@suprashank]

@@berserkhorimiya Really hoping they launch the Kicks next

[@anandsalim579]

Datsun was actually Nissan's attempt to embrace suzuki's model, which failed misserably... On the other hand, suzuki's models are having a grip in this country majorly because, there is a huge mob in our country who will buy anything regardless of what the value is, just because there is Maruthi badge on the car. Also there is another chunk of people who rely on this brand, because of their extensive service network, which no other OEM in this country can beat..

[@SatyamKumar-dj3jo]

What Nissan did is remarkable. It's almost like they collected what could be improved in the cars from the actual users and worked on each fronts.

Just for reference Non Turbo Efficiency actual nos...Manual My Magnite is 1500 kms old approx City Kolkata Average Efficiency: 11-13 kmpl with AC Worst: 7.9 km Slow two way traffic with Autos, Rickshaws et al. Best: Empty roads, start stop at a few signals, Saturday/ Sunday with AC over a 20km distance...18km Without AC Fast moving Office day traffic -16 to 17kmpl My previous car was a 2016 WagonR Auto: Few observations.... WagonR also used to give 13-14km with same driver in the same city. Magnite is actually shorter than the Wagon R but sufficient headroom is available even with driver seat in highest position for my 5ft 10in height Suzuki engine felt more free revving, but this has appox 5 bhp and 5Nm more...maybe its still running in... Weight is 50 to 100kg more depending on variant...940 kg vs 885 kg, so evenly matched power to weight ratios, one would think Unlike online comments its never felt underpowered in traffic and keeps up or overtakes quickly enough within the limits of our crowded city. Engine settles between 2000 to 3500 rpm within the city... I expect the Turbo is a little more thirsty in the same situation Best thing, WagonR was top heavy and this one with a lower height, wider track feels better planted. Bumps and potholes are dispatched without any concern.

[@mau5tape]

Let me share you my story of choosing a sub 4 meter in 2023. My first thought was Magnite, in 2023. when i just sat on the cabin i knew i needed this car(in showroom). Looked amazing, interior was on point. After that we went to look at the Sonet in showroom, it was premium but my heart was on Magnite(it was my emotional decision). Sonet felt more family car but as a 27 year old enthusiast I really wanted a turbo petrol manual that was only available with Magnite. After couple days, the Nissan guys got me a test drive on the base 1.0L engine 72 ps(they said they only had that car on available right now, not the turbo petrol variant). Since Nissan isnt doing huge in India, they had a small showroom with only two cars on display. I used to drive a duster Diesel 2013 and when i drove the Magnite, I was SO DISSAPOINTED by the sound insulation and the engine noise, that the Nissan dealer turn up the radio so that i dont get annoyed by the sound insulation(totally a deal breaker for me). Now after that Sonet was THE only sensible choice left, it was premium and good for the family plus the service center was very close( which was not for nissan). I really wanted a Magnite back then but was heartbroken by the issues it had and the lack of power base engine had. After that i didnt even want to test the turbo petrol, totally disappointed. Now after watching this FIRST, Im happy they fixed all these issues and it is well rounded car. I wished Nissan made these changes earlier, Magnite would be sitting in my garage right now. Anyways, Loved this episode of the MotorInc First. All this talk about how amazing magnite facelift has brought back some unresolved feelings. You are probably wondering why Im typing a damn essay in your comment section but even when i drive the sonet dct 1.0 (one could argue its better). I see Magnites on road and Its always head turner for me. Now im just regretting my purchase and its so early on Sonet that changing isnt an option anymore.

[@motorinc]

Yo M5T! We love the essay. Because, we know how you feel now. So happy to hear how you look at both of them. And enjoy the Sonet. Great little car!

[@Nippontradamus]

I'm almost in the same situation here Except it was my parents who were against Nissan as a whole. They are a bit unsure of the service network, hence going for the Sonet I wish them well, it is a good thing we have some competition in enthusiastic products with Citroen and Nissan. It is also too late to change now, still enjoying my Sonet so far

[@tamilcultureandcuisines3145]

Wonderful, but I dropped sonet and chose magnite last year

[@shameerhafeezullakhan3383]

As you have rightly said in the start "an emotional decision", but then you have made a technical decision. Though now a good car in this and from lower segments, what you have in your garage is still a headturner!! Movement that inspires.

[@adityakambli6495]

There was soo much to talk about this facelift which Motorinc perfectly captured and placed in video, on the other hand multiple reviews only talked about nothing has changed externally and nissan is calling it a facelift. Great insights guys.

[@abhinashpattanaik5109]

The Micra was also a well-made Nissan when it was launched back then. Simple, cute with some reliable engines yet it didn't feel rudimentary and bare basic even tho its equipment levels were basic. I haven't driven the Kicks but heard it was also a good car.

[@akhilrchandran]

But those days the attitude of dealers were so bad. I ended up buying a swift.

[@amargshukla]

I still have my micra, 11 years and counting. At the time I bought it, it was more expensive than any hatchback but back then the only feature miss I think was the lack of reverse camera which isnt a deal breaker ever. The suspension holds up against today’s sub 4s, the CVT has been brilliant as always. Perfect city car. The got very close to buying the Kicks but the dealerships weren’t interested in selling it… moreover the top spec was manual and the CVT was barebones. Zero features which I thought was a miss a few back.

[@akhilrchandran]

@@amargshukla I was talking about 2010. Sold my Swift last year after clocking 2L kms :)

[@motorinc]

The Micro was good! Just quirky and pricey. Eventually the price did come down…

[@adhokshravishankar]

While I was watching the review, I simultaneously opened another tab on the browser to check what are the features offered by the Magnite, and I have to say it's a lot. I selected the top end variant i.e. CVT with the dual tone paint scheme to see and I am not sure whether or not certain premium and bigger cars offer the same list of features. It's just that good. For Rs. 14.41L on-road in Bangalore, I think this is a really good car to go for.

[@motorinc]

Heya AS! We have some more homework’s for you… Could you compare the Magnite and Sonet’s variants too. JK!! Thanks for the analysis though.

I somehow feel the magnite will do really well with a 4x4 setup, looking at its stance in the video clippings. I know the platform doesn't support it and nissan-renault have no plans to make a jimny rival. But its good to imagine. Like all the cars we can imagine in nissan showrooms now.

[@ramakrishnak3725]

Last Saturday ie., 26th Oct-2024 I brought Home Nissan Magnite N-Connecta Flare Garnet Red & Onyx Black (Dual Tone) Turbo CVT Model and I drove more than 100 Kms as on today. I feel its a good budget Family Car. Turbo CVT have Good pickup and its showing mileage of 16.1 kmpl. Drove Sunday Morning, Afternoon and Evening as well, its mixture of Less, Average and More Traffic conditions within City limits. One can consider this and test drive this before finalizing others.

Hey, just a pointer. I noticed a few edit errors, like lip sync issues and a text error where it said non turbo was 100hp and turbo was 72hp. As a fellow editor, please don’t be harsh on the editor, this could’ve been a Rush situation. It’s hard to keep track of everything on a 50min video so Just pointing it out for the QC folks.

[@motorinc]

Thanks for pitching in! And for looking out for the Eds. 🙏🏾❤️

[@madhukirandr]

I went for a test drive and it feels so effortless and fun to drive. Just love the handling and CVT. Good that Nissan did not add ADAS to this as this keeps price in check and also ADAS makes no sense for India. I wanted little more boot space and sales team mentioned that roof can handle up to 50 kg of weight which was great. This also ticket all boxes for me. My only concern is Nissan service centers in Bengaluru. We have only dealer and he has only one service center which is 1 hr away from me (on a good day). They promised this will improve and hopefully I will have somethin nearby. Finally the most satisfying part: Thank you Guys for making a clean and useful video :-). The great feeling that I closed in on a great car without confusion/FOMO/etc makes buying so much more satisfying. I like these in depth and practical discussions instead of specs, cost etc comparison with 5/6 cars in parallel. I am more of a ADV bikes guy than cars. So I am exited for one from Shumi on 2025 390 ADV. Hopefully iska nisaana bhi nahi chutega 🙂.

Hi @madhukirandr, thank you very much for sharing your experience! Yes, we do hope that Nissan improves the service centres reach as well. And lastly, about the 390 Adventure, guess we'll have to wait and watch. 😅

In a market where everybody is hiking their prices and going towards 15 lakh rupees mark. Nissan decide to not change the prices and improve on various fronts. One should buy this car truly instead of an hatchback from suzuki or hyundai. But thank you guys you're a blessing to every automobile enthusiast. I mean how 50 mins passed away it felt like I started it few mins ago only.

I resonate with all that you have said. You even noticed that subtle ‘too peppy aspect’ of pre facelift Magnite, clocked 30k and I am yet to see a reason to use the sports mode button! Also did you miss to mention some additions like the cooled glovebox, auto irvm, concealed door lock etc or simply left out. I still love the existing alloy design as well as the overall frontal portion which felt cleaner compared to the ‘in the face’ grill section and front bumper in the facelift. Planning to change the taillamp as it’s better looking now, also add the new irvm if possible. Personally happy that there are no extreme changes that would warrant existing owners of Magnite Turbo CVT like me to go for an exchange, yet rightfully improved and rectified for all the new customers. Good review Motorinc and Good Job Nissan India!

[@tarunsingh6292]

In Tekna they should have brought dual channel dash cam, rear drum brakes, geo fencing, cornering lamp function and underbody engine bay covering atleast. After that it would have been complete Like Wagon R it should have an option of 1.2 NA engine too. Most who do city commutes with occasional highway trips would have benefitted from it Better than AMT they should have tried offering IMT like KIA provides. About Turbo repair costs might be a concern for majority of buyers. So 1.2 Ltr NA with approx 88-90 PS power and 115 NM Torque many customers might have considered. Very few are going for Turbos still. The one on Nissan is 1 Ltr Mpfi Turbo engine and not GDI one like others are providing. Rest of the stuff has got sorted

[@motorinc]

Good to have your take! 👍🏽

[@iamsidd_j]

I bought the Nissan Magnite XV premium+ last year (got delivery on Diwali). So by that time nissan build quality improved. there are still rattling nosies on bumpy roads but overall it has reduced or maybe I have gotten used to it (hard to tell 😅) I love the design my car than the facelift. I love the new tail lamps and I want to get it in my Magnite I asked my service centre and they said they haven't done R&D so whether it will fit or not it only time will tell. I want the remote start feature as well (but not exactly a priority),. I'm hopping I get it leatherette from after market. Coming to engine sometimes there is delay when I try to accelerate from a stop. On highways it feels so good and easy to drive not tiring at all. Like all CVTs it shifts up only when you lift off accelerator pedal which is fine. I get roughly 9-11 kmpl and on highways it somewhere around 17-19 kmpl. Finally I have really old school lock which are those pull pins on top of door near window and in the new magnite they have fixed it so thanks! I love that my car does not have sunroof.

[@NemysisPrime]

In the first gen of magnite/kiger, there used to be a lack of door beading, because of which the a/c performance was affected. Even back then ,it used to cool fast enough, but the cold cabin air used to leak out.. Has this been sorted out in the facelift? 40:17 coming to the styling aspect- I think this is the right amount of styling.. Not too flashy or overemphasized. Compared to a 3x0 or a Nexon, which are too busy in their front bonet and grills, I feel the magnite has rightly nailed it...

It has 184mm ground clearance perfect for our road conditions.....I drove through roads filled with deep craters and it took it really well...I drove 450km in one go without any fatigue and at a cruising speed of 90kmph ....it goes upto 135-140 KPH which is very good for its class.....and can easily cruise 90-100 kph in our highways. We indians bought alto in large numbers but ignored rediGO which is a superior product than an Alto. I have driven alto 800 ... Datsun rediGO is a superior product with same price maybe even cheaper than an Alto. Its a shame.... I'll never going to sale my rediGO. Itll be in my garage till it dies....its 58000km on odo now and only issue I encountered is a rattly front arm suspension after a large bump hit on highway at 80kmph speed otherwise it naver gave me any issues....and its in perfect condition mechanically, its 2017 model. And above all it gives me above 24 kmpl if you drive at 80kmph on highways in the winters ...and in hot summer with full AC it gives me about 20kmpl on highways. In city it gives 14-15 on AC and 17 without AC.

52:26 The Indian Vehicle Manufacturer Association lobbies heavily with the GOI to formulate policies favouring them. That's why, for years, we have had such heavy taxation on imports of cars not manufactured locally. This same body will try to steer the Government away from adopting hybrid tech because then Mahindra and Tata will lose their edge. Very unfortunate state of things but the administrators need to wake up and make informed decisions if they want to see India as a hub for state-of-the-art technology, manufacturing and exporting vehicles. Otherwise, we will continue to get majorly sub par vehicles with a few glimmers of hope here and there.

The nissan magnite review especially regarding the cvt automatic feel is spot on. I myself have driven Nissan Kicks, Nissan Versa and have faced Nissan Altimas and Maximas on road. Nissan CVT have really sporty feel and it is really easy to drive them fast and even rashly. But their cvt are prone to failure as the company dealership in north America don't change the cvt fluid filter ever(but do sell it as a part and don't encourage people to buy it). Also not changing the cvt fluid every 50000km gives disastrous results to people. With all these cvt transmission issues, and those issues getting outrightly spoken by mechanics and Nissan owners on Facebook, tiktok and KZbin, people aren't buying Nissan cars and rather buy Kia and Hyundai which have better CVT at same price.

Just those rattling issues and halka fulka plastic around you makes the experience little dull but engine is awesome as rightly put by Karthik. However, my version even though its peppy enough turbo but I feel alive when I put it in Sports mode, substantial difference. Nice review again rockers!

[@motorinc]

☺️ wish you awesome travels with your Magnite Viks!

[@justinheart29]

Did you get any issues with the car and how's the service so far

[@viks783]

@ No major issues so far. I bought service package during purchase and so far experience is good. Even though suspension is good for deep pot holes and rough road but you get a really loud thud when going through an edgy pothole. Also i feel cabin noise is a bit more so I am planning to get it done from outside

[@ArjunKarandur]

Few questions on turbo engines: 1. Are they reliable on a long term basis i.e. > 5 years 2. Do they require a warm up duration at engine start and cool down duration before engine switch off 3. Need to stop during long drives to let them cool down 4. Need to use only premium fuels? Thanks

[@sooryamalli5644]

I don't think any car made for the Indian market needs premium fuel. The gains are too miniscule to actually make a difference in your fuel economy. The difference in FE will be more if you leave the spare wheel at home. Unless it's on the manual regular unleaded will do.

[@Newbutold]

1. they are fairly reliable if maintained as recommended by the brands 2. Warm is recommended in all engines tbh, read your owner manual and follow accordingly. Personally, I would recommend at least 30sec warm up and then get going slowly not at high revs until engine reaches optimum temperature. Cool down is needed on turbo engines if they have run at high rpm for long time, to let the turbo cool. So, yes you need to let the turbo cars cool down after a spirited drive. Your start stop strategy should take care of that mostly. 3. I do not agree about stopping frequently in long drives because of your car, it’s based on how frequently need a break. I drove turbo car for hours and 300km+ without stopping, you can also see the endurance testing that VW and Mahindra did, they are all turbo engines and didn’t take a break to shut engine off even during driver change 4. Premium fuels like XP95 are recommended in VW turbos, not sure about creta, seltos etc. But, I would encourage premium fuel for the extra rev happy and safe it make the engine from bad fuels. If you are too afraid of turbo engines, get a NA but you may have to compromise on the dmid range grunt of turbos but will get NA with no turbo lag and better city mileage.

[@motorinc]

Hey AK, regarding queries 1-3 - modern turbos don’t have these issues. Some basic care is good enough. Query 4 - no, this turbo engine runs on 91 Octane.

Scotty Kilmer thinks Nissan is not Japanese. It became trash after the Renault merger/takeover. I dunno.

[@senpai1628]

Actually it was carlos ghosn who in his bid to maximise profitability began cutting corners aggressively in nissan cars. As a result the company soared but it’s reputation took a hit and now many consider the brand as total junk. But then without ghosn and renault the company would’ve surely gone bankrupt so it is what it is

If it's a merger/takeover then it is not Japanese, also Japan is a vassal state of the USA...

[@shrikantbhawsar77]

What is wheel hopping,and why it is happening to thar ROXX when the car is backing up above 3000 rpm ,is it normal ? Thanks in advance

[@Dheeraj_Menon]

Nothing much. People dump the clutch at low RPMs and so all the torque backs out to the rear since on reverse that’s where the power goes and it’s a completely natural thing to happen unless you put a electronic differential but tbh nothing to worry about actually. Just unnecessary way to gather attention to their content since they can’t get in usual way

[@venomhunter93]

Historically, alliances between manufacturers has never been too successful, Renaul-Nissan partnership does look like an exception. I sincerely hope their global decision making doesn't impact Indian operations and strategies. As the country evolves and manufacturers going premium in pricing, such value centric products will become rare. Nissan, please keep doing the same stuff as your doing with Magnite

Hi M, we would recommend the turbo - because with the added performance - it will feel like a car that you could use easily for more things - so you will feel like holding on to it for longer.

I've been waiting impatiently for you both to create this first impressions on the Magnite! PS: Norway.. most EVs (mostly Teslas) in Europe.. and fjords! *nostalgic* Cheers!

[@motorinc]

Were you there? What was it like?

[@KeleSamy]

@motorinc Yes, I used to work in the maritime and offshore sector, and I was deployed in Stavanger for a project for almost a year (2015-16). I would say this place (or rather 4 out of 5 countries where I have lived) were utopias of work-life balance. In Norway, weekdays typically started with a shot of espresso, followed by work routine, and ending with beers with them folks.. Also, there are companies that follow 6-week schedule (for example, the clients).. they'd work 6 weeks, and then be gone on holidays for the next 6.. I envied them; it seemed to defy "grass is greener on the other side" analogy.. On weekends, I'd chill with folks, go bouldering in summers, and snowboarding in winters, or drive up to Bergen.. the road is scenic along the fjords..

[@KeleSamy]

PS: A friend of mine from South Africa told me that Magnite Accenta Plus (South Africa variant) has the same features as Tekna (India variant) .. makes me wonder, if they sell stripped down variants in India under similar name tags?

[@lucid_daydream_007]

Magnite and Triber are some of the most underrated cars in the Indian market. I really hope Nissan and Renault don't disappear and make customers more anxious.

I rented a Nissan magnite (manual) for trips to Alibaug and Igatpuri. Two pain points where the laggy pickup on the base model (not sure if it was an issue in that particular car) and the seat height felt lower and wasn't adjustable. Does the new one come with seat height adjust? I also remember its entertainmemt console was barely usable and extremely laggy. Hopefully the new ones are more user friendly and Has android Auto / apple car play.
