Like we always say, India is inclining towards the SUV department and what better than pick at the hot compact SUV. We pick the popular Nissan Magnite 1.0L turbo and discuss the variant-wise features of the same. We also tell which is the most value for money variant of the Magnite.
We pick the turbo engine because it not only gives better performance but also makes the city and highway driving smoother. Lets discuss the variant line-up that is available in XL, XV and XV Premium and XV Premium (O).
All four variants get a 5-speed manual stick shift as well as a CVT unit.
Under the hood a 1.0L turbocharged unit that delivers 100 PS of power with 160 Nm of peak torque. In CVT, the torque figures stick to 152 Nm.

We also have the XV Premium (O). The optional in this one offers connected car technology like geofencing, service history, vehicle tracking and much more.
In our opinion, the XL variant comes out as the most value for money variant. It offers decent features and with the 1.0L turbo petrol, it is a joy to own this one. We do believe that the touchscreen infotainment system should have been there with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto but lets just not be greedy enough.
