Nissan Magnite likely to be priced from Rs 5.50 lakh

The Nissan Magnite will likely be priced from Rs 5.50 lakh (ex-showroom), according to our sources. Nissan’s compact SUV is just a few weeks away from its India launch.

Nissan Magnite prices are expected to range from Rs 5.50-9.55 lakh.
Compact SUV to be sold with a naturally aspirated (NA) petrol and a turbo-petrol engine.
Turbo-petrol variants will likely cost around Rs 1 lakh more than NA engine versions.

Nissan Magnite expected prices

As per our sources, the entry-level Nissan Magnite XE trim will be priced around Rs 5.50 lakh, while the range-topping XV Premium CVT is expected to be priced around Rs 9.55 lakh.

Also, the variants with the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine are expected to cost around Rs 1 lakh more than their naturally aspirated engine-equipped counterparts.

These prices, if accurate, would make the Nissan Magnite one of the most affordable compact SUVs. To put this in context, the top-spec Magnite 1.0 Turbo Petrol XV Premium CVT, at Rs 9.55 lakh, is cheaper than the entry level automatic models of almost all rivals (barring the AMT-equipped Nexon XMA).

What is even more impressive is the fact that, at Rs 5.50 lakh, the Magnite would undercut the starting price of the entire lot of premium hatchbacks, barring the Tata Altroz (priced at Rs 5.44 lakh).

We have listed the tentative variant-wise prices in the table below:
