The automaker is readying the launch of the new CNG variant of the Magnite lineup in India by April 2025. This launch coincides with the growing need for eco-friendly, economical vehicles in India’s automobile market.
Powertrain and Performance
The upcoming Magnite CNG will feature a 1.0-litre naturally aspired petrol engine coupled with a five-speed manual gearbox.
The CNG kit comes from Uno Minda Group and will be installed at the dealership level. It is bundled with a one-year warranty; before buyers know about the exact power and torque figures, it promises about 18-22 km/kg in mileage, trying to strike a balance between performance and fuel efficiency.
Design and Features
The CNG variant is expected to carry the same bold and sporty design like the existing Magnite models but flaunts some new colour choices to set it apart from the petrol counterparts.
The inside of this SUV will still carry a premium feel, including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 7-inch digital display for the driver, automatic climate control, wireless mobile phone charging and rear AC vents. A total of six airbags, 360-degree camera, auto-dimming IRVM, rear-parking sensors and tyre pressure monitoring systems are expected to be part of the safety features of the vehicle.
Pricing and Availability
Approximately ₹79,500 will be added to the cost of the regular petrol variant, which is a CNG fitment. Considering current pricing between ₹6.12 lakh and ₹11.72 lakh (ex-showroom) for the entire Magnite scope, the CNG variant should make for a cheaper alternative for value-seeking consumers.
Conclusion
The introduction of the Nissan Magnite CNG variant emphasizes the commitment of the company to sustainable and affordable mobility solutions. The expected launch of the Magnite CNG sometime in April 2025 makes it a potential offering for those looking for cost-effective but stylish, feature-loaded, and fuel-efficient SUV options.
