Cabin Comfort: Compact Yet Spacious
Walking into a Nissan, the first thing you see is how much care went into every inch of cabin space. It is open and well organized with everything in easy reach. Sitting either at the front or back, legroom and headroom are more than enough for a sub 4 meter SUV.
With an initial figure of 336-litres, it is already leading its segment in boot space. Following that, when both rear seats are folded down, boot space increases to 690 litres in total. This makes it great for road trips and even light cargo hauling during business drives.
Providing soft touch materials along with functional storage spaces will make commuting easier and aid families as well because of the flat rear floor.
Engine Options Tailored for Indian Roads

- A 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (72 PS, 96 Nm) equipped with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox offers best mileage during city drives alongside fuel saving for eco conscious drivers.
- A turbo-petrol alternative is available with higher spec numbers (100 PS, 152 Nm) featuring a smooth CVT or standard 5-speed manual transmission equipable version and suited for those looking for enhanced mileage while offering refined performance on highways added zip and refinement.
Given Indian road and traffic conditions, the turbo-petrol version provides just enough power, smoothness, and effectiveness with the CVT. Whether you’re in a crawl or cruise pace on a flyover, the Magnite does everything without straining.
