I’ve booked a Nissan Magnite (Turbo XV Premium), but have changed my mind and decided to buy a Nissan Kicks (XV 1.5 petrol) as it is a bigger car with adequate features. Please advise which would be better in the long run.

Autocar India says: As you said, the Kicks is a bigger car, and hence, will be comfortable, more powerful and overall much nicer to drive than the Magnite. The Kicks is reliable too, but won’t be as economical to run as the Magnite, which is much more fuel efficient. So if you don’t mind spending a bit more on fuel and service costs, the Kicks would be a better option.
