    Nissan Magnite CVT Automatic review: Better buy over the manual?
  • Recently we drove the new Nissan Magnite and the vehicle impressed us with its styling along with a decent mix of features, space, and good dynamics.

    However, the biggest strength in the Magnite's arsenal could be its CVT version as it promises to give a proper automatic driving experience for much less money.

    So should you buy the CVT or manual?

    Here's our review.

  • The CVT version of the Magnite is indistinguishable from the manual with only a badge to signify this is automatic.

    Else, the Magnite cuts a sharp look courtesy the L-shaped DRLs and the dagger-like headlamps while the huge grille does not look out of place, too.

    The SUV design elements are also embedded in the cladding, roof rails, and a 205mm ground clearance.

  • The CVT version is also available in the fully loaded trim with all the bells and whistles.

    The sporty three-spoke steering wheel is nice to hold while the 8-inch touchscreen also works well along with the TFT instrument cluster being a clear highlight.

    Equipment levels are quite good considering the price, while some features are available with a tech pack and not standard.

  • Power and mileage

  • The CVT automatic Magnite is available with only a 1.0-liter turbo petrol engine, which develops 98bhp and 160Nm.

    It gets a button on the gear-lever for a more spirited response while it also has an L mode, which holds onto the lower gears for when driving over hilly terrain.

    There are no paddle-shifters. The official mileage is 17.7km/l, but we got 10/11km/l in city.

  • Ride and handling

  • For us, the CVT gearbox stands out as the clear USP of this car.

    For city use, this gearbox is smooth and responds to the slightest throttle inputs, while also being responsive enough for that quick overtake.

    However at higher speeds, the gearbox gets a tad noisy but as a city-based SUV and an occasional highway cruiser, the Magnite CVT automatic does the job.

  • Our verdict

    Is it worth your money?

    Is it worth your money?
  • The CVT Magnite range starts at Rs. 7.89 lakh while the top-end version is Rs. 9.35 lakh.

    Nissan is charging a Rs. 90k premium for the CVT, which we think is worth it for the smoothness of the gearbox along with the convenience which it affords.

    Overall, it is very good value and, that too, with no rivals at this price point!
