Nissan Magnite review, road test

After a long absence, Nissan is back in the limelight, and the focus is on the snazzy Magnite, which, even after less than a month of being on sale, already seems to be turning the tide for the Japanese company in India. It’s garnered over 32,000 bookings at the time of this writing, and waiting periods are climbing steadily. Wearing a fresh design and packing in tonnes of equipment, the Magnite is already an inviting proposition. But then you factor in the knockout pricing Nissan has managed, and things only get better. Ranging between Rs 5.49 lakh and Rs 9.88 lakh, it undercuts every other compact SUV on sale by a huge margin, and this sounds like great value when you look at the features it offers. So just how have they managed to do it, and could this really be all the compact SUV you need? This road test will give you the answers.
