Nissan Magnite Review

Nissan’s mantra for the Magnite seems to be “punch above, price below.” A formula that works or is it too good to be true?

The Nissan Magnite makes the right headlines to get you excited. It looks good, seems well loaded, gets a turbo petrol engine and even offers a proper automatic transmission. And then came the price leak, which makes it amply clear that Nissan’s looking to target the value card and hard! So where's the compromise and should it deter you from considering Nissan’s new SUV?

Exterior

The Magnite is a remarkably well proportioned sub-compact SUV. The rear design doesn’t stop abruptly or look chopped off and there are proper overhangs. In fact, at first glance, some may assume it’s a replacement for the Kicks. Interestingly, the Magnite isn’t as wide as most of its direct rivals, nor is it as tall. Perhaps, it is this stance that makes it look longer than it is.  

FYI - The Nissan Magnite is based on a modified version of the CMF-A+ platform that also underpins the Renault Triber. Renault will offer its own counterpart to the Magnite as well - the Kiger

The SUV look is on point though, with 205mm of ground clearance (unladen), 16-inch wheels as standard (alloys in the XV/XV Premium only) and functional roof rails (load capacity = 50kg) also provided directly from the base variant. 

Viewed head on, the Magnite does have similarities with the Nissan Kicks, thanks to the sweptback headlamps and black contrast lower lip that houses the fog lights. But then the grille design is notably Datsun derived, since that’s the badge the Magnite was to carry originally. What’s cool is that Nissan hasn’t strayed too far from the concept car and what you’ll see in the showroom is just as distinctive. 

The LED headlights (single projector on each side for both low & high beam with multi-reflector pilot lights) bump up the premium factor and are complemented by LED fog lamps, and LED turn indicators that have been neatly integrated above the headlights. It even gets XUV300 style LED DRLs that form long slits in the front bumper.

FYI - LED headlights are exclusively offered with the top end XV Premium. Other variants get halogen reflector headlights. LED DRLs and fog lights offered with the XV & XV Premium

The side profile is where the Magnite looks its sportiest, especially with the diamond-cut alloy wheels and large roof spoiler. The wheel arch cladding also had indents for reflectors. Should you opt for one of the two-tone colour options, this angle is what you’ll probably find yourself staring at the most.

FYI - Colour options: Silver, brown, black and white. Two tone colours include red with black contrast, brown with black contrast, white with black contrast & blue with white contrast. 

Compared to the front, the rear end gets a thicker dose of cladding with turbo & CVT badges to denote the version you’re driving. And thankfully, you get a rear wiper & washer as standard.

Interior

The interior comes across as both a pleasant surprise as well as an indicator of where the cost factor comes into play. What’s good is that this is a very well designed cabin, both in terms of style and functionality. It’s a very clean and clutter-free layout with no unnecessary styling elements added for the sake of making it look different. The hexagonal AC vents add a sporty touch to the dashboard, with silver and chrome highlights applied to them right from the base variant.

Even the finish quality of the plastics is smooth and the grey fabric on the door pads is a thoughtful touch. However, the plastics don’t feel as robust or thick as they do in a Sonet, Venue, XUV300 or even EcoSport. Even the fitment quality is of a budget grade, with bits like the centre console flexing/moving about when you fiddle with it. We’d say it’s a step up compared to the Vitara Brezza but it’s acceptable, not exceptional. 

FYI - Footwell could’ve been spaced better. The floor pedals feel like they’re too close together and those with larger feet in particular will have to adapt

Where the Magnite excels is in making the best use of the cabin space available. Both the front and rear seats offer good overall support even for tall users and there’s good headroom on offer even for someone over 6ft in height. If the users are of an average build, it even works as a 5-seater!

FYI - All round adjustable headrests (x4) come as standard. The driver gets a fixed front armrest in the top variant. Rear occupants get an armrest with cupholders (XL Turbo, XV & XV Premium) and a phone holder too 

The cherry on top is how practical the cabin’s storage spaces are. All four door pockets can hold 1 litre bottles, the 10-litre glovebox is exceptionally accommodating and the centre console can hold both cups and large bottles. Additionally, the wireless phone charging pad can easily hold your wallet and phone

when not in use and there’s a large storage space underneath this as well with a 12V socket and USB port.

At 336 litres, there’s reasonable boot space too with a 60:40 split rear seat (offered with the XL Turbo, XV & XV Premium) for added room if needed (raises the storage space to 690 litres). The loading lip is on the higher side though and there is a notable drop from the boot sill to the boot floor.

With the Magnite, you get just the right amount of frills. Our favourite feature would have to be the 7-inch digital instrument cluster which offers a game-like interface that’s really cool and fluid to use.

FYI - Data on the digital cluster includes the time, door/boot ajar warning, outside temperature display, trip meters, drive mode selected (CVT), fuel consumption information and tyre pressure status. The cluster is operated via steering-mounted controls.

Other talking points include:

8-inch touchscreen infotainment system: Very easy to use interface with no overdose of menu options. It does occasionally encounter lag but is convenient to use.

Android Auto & Apple CarPlay: Wirelessly operable and this function works very smoothly. Just need to pair your phone’s bluetooth and the option is then a tap away.

360 degree camera: A nice to have feature but the execution is poor. The resolution has room for improvement and the view seems distorted. The average quality is particularly apparent at night.

Air purifier (optional extra with the Tech Pack, takes up space in a front cupholder like in the Venue)

Puddle lamps (optional extra with the Tech Pack)

JBL (optional extra with the Tech Pack): Sound quality is decent but nothing great. Those who like their music loud will enjoy it but serious audiophiles can look at other options from the aftermarket.

Safety

Dual front airbags ABS with EBD and rear parking sensors come as standard. ISOFIX child seats mounts are offered with the XL Turbo, XV and XV Premium grades. The XV adds a rear camera while the XV Premium also gets the 360-degree camera and tyre pressure monitor. All turbo variants get brake assist, traction control, stability control and hill start assist. Unfortunately, side or curtain airbags are not available with any variant.
