Please drive the naturaly aspirated engine as you have suggested to extend the budget from going to Alto to magnite. And how best can it performs against swift and others cars in this price segment as all the other cars have more Horse power?
Hello Kartikeya, the Turbo CVT costs almost 3 lakhs more than the NA AMT. Is it worth spending the extra 3 lakhs, or does it seem to be spilling out of the VFM basket in general ?
Great news! Nissan has accomplished what its global competitor Toyota couldn’t - successfully creating high-quality small cars in India. While Toyota struggled to make compact models for the Indian market, Nissan’s approach shines. Yet, one wonders why they haven’t embraced Suzuki’s model of crafting India-specific cars with a global appeal. An India specific Patrol... Mouthwatering
Patrol is 5.3 meters long, it's impractical for India. No matter how much India spec you make it. Kicks on the other hand fits nicely as a competitor to Creta.
Datsun was actually Nissan's attempt to embrace suzuki's model, which failed misserably... On the other hand, suzuki's models are having a grip in this country majorly because, there is a huge mob in our country who will buy anything regardless of what the value is, just because there is Maruthi badge on the car. Also there is another chunk of people who rely on this brand, because of their extensive service network, which no other OEM in this country can beat..
I really love the statement- we are not price conscious but value conscious market. We deserve better products like these and drive out the mediocre core ones
@@motorinc I want to buy this car, but I'm concerned about service and parts availability in the coming years. Do you have any clue when this car will also be taken off the Indian market? You know Nissan is well-known in India for discontinuing a large number of models within a few years.
@@valdimirputin1335 Don't worry about parts as there are 3 cars in plenty nos running on the same engine/platform Magnite, Kiger and Triber. Manufacturing is at a common plant in Chennai and Engine and Gearboxes are Made in India and exported
There was soo much to talk about this facelift which Motorinc perfectly captured and placed in video, on the other hand multiple reviews only talked about nothing has changed externally and nissan is calling it a facelift. Great insights guys.
I somehow feel the magnite will do really well with a 4x4 setup, looking at its stance in the video clippings. I know the platform doesn't support it and nissan-renault have no plans to make a jimny rival. But its good to imagine. Like all the cars we can imagine in nissan showrooms now.
Hey, just a pointer. I noticed a few edit errors, like lip sync issues and a text error where it said non turbo was 100hp and turbo was 72hp. As a fellow editor, please don’t be harsh on the editor, this could’ve been a Rush situation. It’s hard to keep track of everything on a 50min video so Just pointing it out for the QC folks.
Let me share you my story of choosing a sub 4 meter in 2023. My first thought was Magnite, in 2023. when i just sat on the cabin i knew i needed this car(in showroom). Looked amazing, interior was on point. After that we went to look at the Sonet in showroom, it was premium but my heart was on Magnite(it was my emotional decision). Sonet felt more family car but as a 27 year old enthusiast I really wanted a turbo petrol manual that was only available with Magnite. After couple days, the Nissan guys got me a test drive on the base 1.0L engine 72 ps(they said they only had that car on available right now, not the turbo petrol variant). Since Nissan isnt doing huge in India, they had a small showroom with only two cars on display. I used to drive a duster Diesel 2013 and when i drove the Magnite, I was SO DISSAPOINTED by the sound insulation and the engine noise, that the Nissan dealer turn up the radio so that i dont get annoyed by the sound insulation(totally a deal breaker for me). Now after that Sonet was THE only sensible choice left, it was premium and good for the family plus the service center was very close( which was not for nissan). I really wanted a Magnite back then but was heartbroken by the issues it had and the lack of power base engine had. After that i didnt even want to test the turbo petrol, totally disappointed. Now after watching this FIRST, Im happy they fixed all these issues and it is well rounded car. I wished Nissan made these changes earlier, Magnite would be sitting in my garage right now. Anyways, Loved this episode of the MotorInc First. All this talk about how amazing magnite facelift has brought back some unresolved feelings. You are probably wondering why Im typing a damn essay in your comment section but even when i drive the sonet dct 1.0 (one could argue its better). I see Magnites on road and Its always head turner for me. Now im just regretting my purchase and its so early on Sonet that changing isnt an option anymore.
I'm almost in the same situation here Except it was my parents who were against Nissan as a whole. They are a bit unsure of the service network, hence going for the Sonet I wish them well, it is a good thing we have some competition in enthusiastic products with Citroen and Nissan. It is also too late to change now, still enjoying my Sonet so far
As you have rightly said in the start "an emotional decision", but then you have made a technical decision. Though now a good car in this and from lower segments, what you have in your garage is still a headturner!! Movement that inspires.
Just for reference Non Turbo Efficiency actual nos...Manual My Magnite is 1500 kms old approx City Kolkata Average Efficiency: 11-13 kmpl with AC Worst: 7.9 km Slow two way traffic with Autos, Rickshaws et al. Best: Empty roads, start stop at a few signals, Saturday/ Sunday with AC over a 20km distance...18km Without AC Fast moving Office day traffic -16 to 17kmpl My previous car was a 2016 WagonR Auto: Few observations.... WagonR also used to give 13-14km with same driver in the same city. Magnite is actually shorter than the Wagon R but sufficient headroom is available even with driver seat in highest position for my 5ft 10in height Suzuki engine felt more free revving, but this has appox 5 bhp and 5Nm more...maybe its still running in... Weight is 50 to 100kg more depending on variant...940 kg vs 885 kg, so evenly matched power to weight ratios, one would think Unlike online comments its never felt underpowered in traffic and keeps up or overtakes quickly enough within the limits of our crowded city. Engine settles between 2000 to 3500 rpm within the city... I expect the Turbo is a little more thirsty in the same situation Best thing, WagonR was top heavy and this one with a lower height, wider track feels better planted. Bumps and potholes are dispatched without any concern.
While I was watching the review, I simultaneously opened another tab on the browser to check what are the features offered by the Magnite, and I have to say it's a lot. I selected the top end variant i.e. CVT with the dual tone paint scheme to see and I am not sure whether or not certain premium and bigger cars offer the same list of features. It's just that good. For Rs. 14.41L on-road in Bangalore, I think this is a really good car to go for.
The Micra was also a well-made Nissan when it was launched back then. Simple, cute with some reliable engines yet it didn't feel rudimentary and bare basic even tho its equipment levels were basic. I haven't driven the Kicks but heard it was also a good car.
I still have my micra, 11 years and counting. At the time I bought it, it was more expensive than any hatchback but back then the only feature miss I think was the lack of reverse camera which isnt a deal breaker ever. The suspension holds up against today’s sub 4s, the CVT has been brilliant as always. Perfect city car. The got very close to buying the Kicks but the dealerships weren’t interested in selling it… moreover the top spec was manual and the CVT was barebones. Zero features which I thought was a miss a few back.
I went for a test drive and it feels so effortless and fun to drive. Just love the handling and CVT. Good that Nissan did not add ADAS to this as this keeps price in check and also ADAS makes no sense for India. I wanted little more boot space and sales team mentioned that roof can handle up to 50 kg of weight which was great. This also ticket all boxes for me. My only concern is Nissan service centers in Bengaluru. We have only dealer and he has only one service center which is 1 hr away from me (on a good day). They promised this will improve and hopefully I will have somethin nearby. Finally the most satisfying part: Thank you Guys for making a clean and useful video :-). The great feeling that I closed in on a great car without confusion/FOMO/etc makes buying so much more satisfying. I like these in depth and practical discussions instead of specs, cost etc comparison with 5/6 cars in parallel. I am more of a ADV bikes guy than cars. So I am exited for one from Shumi on 2025 390 ADV. Hopefully iska nisaana bhi nahi chutega 🙂.
Hi @madhukirandr, thank you very much for sharing your experience! Yes, we do hope that Nissan improves the service centres reach as well. And lastly, about the 390 Adventure, guess we'll have to wait and watch. 😅
This episode was amazing, been waiting for it since yesterday. It was informative, and entertaining. The funny comments, one-liner. And off course Nissan Magnite, such an amazing product. In a market where everybody is hiking their prices and going towards 15 lakh rupees mark. Nissan decide to not change the prices and improve on various fronts. One should buy this car truly instead of an hatchback from suzuki or hyundai. But thank you guys you're a blessing to every automobile enthusiast. I mean how 50 mins passed away it felt like I started it few mins ago only.
Nearing 3 years and 35k km on my turbo manual top trim. Have driven across the breadth of the country- Odisha, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous looks. Satisfactory performance and good fuel efficiency.Nice features. Good reliability. Never had an issue with service network. Happy with the car 😄
Last Saturday ie., 26th Oct-2024 I brought Home Nissan Magnite N-Connecta Flare Garnet Red & Onyx Black (Dual Tone) Turbo CVT Model and I drove more than 100 Kms as on today. I feel its a good budget Family Car. Turbo CVT have Good pickup and its showing mileage of 16.1 kmpl. Drove Sunday Morning, Afternoon and Evening as well, its mixture of Less, Average and More Traffic conditions within City limits. One can consider this and test drive this before finalizing others.
That part when Karthikeya is telling about having to take a 90 degree left turn to join the main road amidst traffic and having to manage the throttle input! Oh man, this is what makes you guys by far the best reviewers in the country. These small but critical details get so much mention and nobody does this. I can literally imagine how the car feels while driving by just listening to the conversation. Keep it up! Also, chuffed that the Magnite has gotten even better. Insane value for money.
I resonate with all that you have said. You even noticed that subtle ‘too peppy aspect’ of pre facelift Magnite, clocked 30k and I am yet to see a reason to use the sports mode button! Also did you miss to mention some additions like the cooled glovebox, auto irvm, concealed door lock etc or simply left out. I still love the existing alloy design as well as the overall frontal portion which felt cleaner compared to the ‘in the face’ grill section and front bumper in the facelift. Planning to change the taillamp as it’s better looking now, also add the new irvm if possible. Personally happy that there are no extreme changes that would warrant existing owners of Magnite Turbo CVT like me to go for an exchange, yet rightfully improved and rectified for all the new customers. Good review Motorinc and Good Job Nissan India!
Guys can you just make a video about what immense value the Honda Amaze CVT is offering at today's deep discounts. There is simply no competition for this car. Your audience deserves to be made aware about it.
Have been using a honda amaze cvt (bought 2nd hand) and have not regretted for a minute.. gearbox is smooth and the engine is super refined.. have never been a fan of a sunroof and the amaze has all the necessary features..
Magnite is a gem car. The negatives that is getting for naturally aspirated engine is just irrelevant the owners are happy with that engine, other car buyers are in distress😂
It's good to see Nissan Magnite getting recognition from the journalists that matters a lot. I have always loved the design and value aspect of the car and now it has elevated to another level. Kudos to Nissan and to you guys for bringing out the best of the cars and recommending us better cars.
True..... Nissan Magnite is the best looking sub4 mtr crossover in India. And with this facelift its even better. Nissan should bring in more products in 10-25 lacs segment.
I bought the Nissan Magnite XV premium+ last year (got delivery on Diwali). So by that time nissan build quality improved. there are still rattling nosies on bumpy roads but overall it has reduced or maybe I have gotten used to it (hard to tell 😅) I love the design my car than the facelift. I love the new tail lamps and I want to get it in my Magnite I asked my service centre and they said they haven't done R&D so whether it will fit or not it only time will tell. I want the remote start feature as well (but not exactly a priority),. I'm hopping I get it leatherette from after market. Coming to engine sometimes there is delay when I try to accelerate from a stop. On highways it feels so good and easy to drive not tiring at all. Like all CVTs it shifts up only when you lift off accelerator pedal which is fine. I get roughly 9-11 kmpl and on highways it somewhere around 17-19 kmpl. Finally I have really old school lock which are those pull pins on top of door near window and in the new magnite they have fixed it so thanks! I love that my car does not have sunroof.
@@motorinc I only had one service it was good. after that someone rammed me from behind and I had to claim insurance and it was fixed in 4 business days. Overall it was noice experience. They were also provided me free drop of the car after the 1st service.
Now that's a review that sells more than any gimmeky showroom or festive offer can! The Art of Conversation has just been OG'ed by both of you guys . Kudos !! And Karthik , You were the reason i zeroed in and bought a Grand i10 Nios (my current car ) , back when you reviewed it with Zigwheel in 2018 /2019 . And you are reason why i'm gonna buy a magnite in 2025 . Absolutely of the top drawer, MotorInc . Keep it coming !
In Tekna they should have brought dual channel dash cam, rear drum brakes, geo fencing, cornering lamp function and underbody engine bay covering atleast. After that it would have been complete Like Wagon R it should have an option of 1.2 NA engine too. Most who do city commutes with occasional highway trips would have benefitted from it Better than AMT they should have tried offering IMT like KIA provides. About Turbo repair costs might be a concern for majority of buyers. So 1.2 Ltr NA with approx 88-90 PS power and 115 NM Torque many customers might have considered. Very few are going for Turbos still. The one on Nissan is 1 Ltr Mpfi Turbo engine and not GDI one like others are providing. Rest of the stuff has got sorted
In the first gen of magnite/kiger, there used to be a lack of door beading, because of which the a/c performance was affected. Even back then ,it used to cool fast enough, but the cold cabin air used to leak out.. Has this been sorted out in the facelift? 40:17 coming to the styling aspect- I think this is the right amount of styling.. Not too flashy or overemphasized. Compared to a 3x0 or a Nexon, which are too busy in their front bonet and grills, I feel the magnite has rightly nailed it...
Hey I own a rediGo and its really good for its price.....you should compare it with alto....rediGO a 800cc car which produces 54bhp....almost 8-10bhp more than a Alto. It has 184mm ground clearance perfect for our road conditions.....I drove through roads filled with deep craters and it took it really well...I drove 450km in one go without any fatigue and at a cruising speed of 90kmph ....it goes upto 135-140 KPH which is very good for its class.....and can easily cruise 90-100 kph in our highways. We indians bought alto in large numbers but ignored rediGO which is a superior product than an Alto. I have driven alto 800 ... Datsun rediGO is a superior product with same price maybe even cheaper than an Alto. Its a shame.... I'll never going to sale my rediGO. Itll be in my garage till it dies....its 58000km on odo now and only issue I encountered is a rattly front arm suspension after a large bump hit on highway at 80kmph speed otherwise it naver gave me any issues....and its in perfect condition mechanically, its 2017 model. And above all it gives me above 24 kmpl if you drive at 80kmph on highways in the winters ...and in hot summer with full AC it gives me about 20kmpl on highways. In city it gives 14-15 on AC and 17 without AC.
You guys seem to be on a different level. Seen a lot of podcasts but you two just rock. Now if I watch any other channel that talks about cars, I just feel meeh. You have raised the bars. Great job and lots of good luck for your journey❤
52:26 The Indian Vehicle Manufacturer Association lobbies heavily with the GOI to formulate policies favouring them. That's why, for years, we have had such heavy taxation on imports of cars not manufactured locally. This same body will try to steer the Government away from adopting hybrid tech because then Mahindra and Tata will lose their edge. Very unfortunate state of things but the administrators need to wake up and make informed decisions if they want to see India as a hub for state-of-the-art technology, manufacturing and exporting vehicles. Otherwise, we will continue to get majorly sub par vehicles with a few glimmers of hope here and there.
Hey Kartikeya @motorinc, I am a first time car buyer and looking for a family car but also want to complete my enthusiasm for having a great engine, suspension and control over car so I can fun around when I need to (50% city 50% highway). My top pick was Mahindra 3XO Base variant because I has a great engine and suspension setup (upgrading features after market sometime later) and second was Tata Punch Accomplished plus which is feature loaded with better resale value than Magnite. Do you think I should look for Magnite Turbo engine with is 10.2 lacs on road? My budget on road is below 9 lacs that too after stretching it from 7-8 lacs and I know good engines sometimes cost you well.
@@motorinc Thanks for the quick reply. But my hearts says to prefer 3XO. Will it be a fast/aggressive car for first time car driver? For Nissan I am concerned if brand will survive for next 10 years or not.
The only way the heart can decide (☺️) is with experience. If you have enjoyed driving the 3XO - and it works for you - go ahead. We don’t think it’s the easiest to drive in the city, nor as family friendly. Hence, our recommendation.
Few questions on turbo engines: 1. Are they reliable on a long term basis i.e. > 5 years 2. Do they require a warm up duration at engine start and cool down duration before engine switch off 3. Need to stop during long drives to let them cool down 4. Need to use only premium fuels? Thanks
I don't think any car made for the Indian market needs premium fuel. The gains are too miniscule to actually make a difference in your fuel economy. The difference in FE will be more if you leave the spare wheel at home. Unless it's on the manual regular unleaded will do.
1. they are fairly reliable if maintained as recommended by the brands 2. Warm is recommended in all engines tbh, read your owner manual and follow accordingly. Personally, I would recommend at least 30sec warm up and then get going slowly not at high revs until engine reaches optimum temperature. Cool down is needed on turbo engines if they have run at high rpm for long time, to let the turbo cool. So, yes you need to let the turbo cars cool down after a spirited drive. Your start stop strategy should take care of that mostly. 3. I do not agree about stopping frequently in long drives because of your car, it’s based on how frequently need a break. I drove turbo car for hours and 300km+ without stopping, you can also see the endurance testing that VW and Mahindra did, they are all turbo engines and didn’t take a break to shut engine off even during driver change 4. Premium fuels like XP95 are recommended in VW turbos, not sure about creta, seltos etc. But, I would encourage premium fuel for the extra rev happy and safe it make the engine from bad fuels. If you are too afraid of turbo engines, get a NA but you may have to compromise on the dmid range grunt of turbos but will get NA with no turbo lag and better city mileage.
Hey AK, regarding queries 1-3 - modern turbos don’t have these issues. Some basic care is good enough. Query 4 - no, this turbo engine runs on 91 Octane.
Thank you for considering our request and doing a Motorinc first on the Magnite. Really appreciate it!! I have a follow up question. How is the latest service experience with Nissan service centres?
I understand that this turbo version is better when compared to punch and exter but how does it hold up against Turbo Fronx, Brezza , petrol turbos of 3xO, Nexon,Sonet , Venue etc in this category
listening to em like a podcast, While needing to rest your eyes. My uncles a dealer in the north-east, own a kuro and i cant wait for more from Nissan ❤️
Just to share something quirky here, it is not a feedback neither a suggestion u guys are perfect as u are but intuitively I develop my own quick summary as I sit through your first impressions that I often skip yours to not ruin mine. This is to help me gauge the product better within my own realm of variables and parameters of the good, the bad, the value etc. that I built throughout my years of driving cars and riding bikes
This is the new alto or baleno. Crazy crazy value. And the package is everything. Safe, spacious, nicer interior, good seats, suv fied, and a fun engine with an automatic. Thanks for giving it its due.
Actually it was carlos ghosn who in his bid to maximise profitability began cutting corners aggressively in nissan cars. As a result the company soared but it’s reputation took a hit and now many consider the brand as total junk. But then without ghosn and renault the company would’ve surely gone bankrupt so it is what it is
22:33 woah, that's some good suspension! The tank road was part of the route I used to commute on in Pune, have had some bone-jarring rides over it trying to overtake traffic 😅
Historically, alliances between manufacturers has never been too successful, Renaul-Nissan partnership does look like an exception. I sincerely hope their global decision making doesn't impact Indian operations and strategies. As the country evolves and manufacturers going premium in pricing, such value centric products will become rare. Nissan, please keep doing the same stuff as your doing with Magnite
This is what a real review looks like Not like some illiterate people like Gagan Choudhary, Faisal Khan and Auto yogi who does paid negative reviewing 😂
I've been waiting impatiently for you both to create this first impressions on the Magnite! PS: Norway.. most EVs (mostly Teslas) in Europe.. and fjords! *nostalgic* Cheers!
@motorinc Yes, I used to work in the maritime and offshore sector, and I was deployed in Stavanger for a project for almost a year (2015-16). I would say this place (or rather 4 out of 5 countries where I have lived) were utopias of work-life balance. In Norway, weekdays typically started with a shot of espresso, followed by work routine, and ending with beers with them folks.. Also, there are companies that follow 6-week schedule (for example, the clients).. they'd work 6 weeks, and then be gone on holidays for the next 6.. I envied them; it seemed to defy "grass is greener on the other side" analogy.. On weekends, I'd chill with folks, go bouldering in summers, and snowboarding in winters, or drive up to Bergen.. the road is scenic along the fjords..
PS: A friend of mine from South Africa told me that Magnite Accenta Plus (South Africa variant) has the same features as Tekna (India variant) .. makes me wonder, if they sell stripped down variants in India under similar name tags?
Watched a little late, but no worries you have once again hit the spot on !! Just enjoy watching these conversations due to the mature conversation between both of you & also Shumi's superb humour.. Keep going team Motorinc.. Waiting for more as always..🙂
Great chit-chat on cars.....love the casual delivery of pertinent information to car enthusiasts with healthy dose of satire. One small suggestion, please include braking performance in your discussions as i think that is a very important criteria when it comes to safety.
The nissan magnite review especially regarding the cvt automatic feel is spot on. I myself have driven Nissan Kicks, Nissan Versa and have faced Nissan Altimas and Maximas on road. Nissan CVT have really sporty feel and it is really easy to drive them fast and even rashly. But their cvt are prone to failure as the company dealership in north America don't change the cvt fluid filter ever(but do sell it as a part and don't encourage people to buy it). Also not changing the cvt fluid every 50000km gives disastrous results to people. With all these cvt transmission issues, and those issues getting outrightly spoken by mechanics and Nissan owners on Facebook, tiktok and RUclips, people aren't buying Nissan cars and rather buy Kia and Hyundai which have better CVT at same price.
Magnite and Triber are some of the most underrated cars in the Indian market. I really hope Nissan and Renault don't disappear and make customers more anxious. Ford and Chevrolet have caused so munch anxiety and they are indirectly the reason for Indian customers being anxious to try new brands like Citreon.
Love you guys to love my Magnite! I bought it in 2022 and enjoying it. Just those rattling issues and halka fulka plastic around you makes the experience little dull but engine is awesome as rightly put by Karthik. However, my version even though its peppy enough turbo but I feel alive when I put it in Sports mode, substantial difference. Nice review again rockers!
@ No major issues so far. I bought service package during purchase and so far experience is good. Even though suspension is good for deep pot holes and rough road but you get a really loud thud when going through an edgy pothole. Also i feel cabin noise is a bit more so I am planning to get it done from outside
How's the service network of Nissan? How does it compare with a Toyota/Maruti Suzuki service centres? If you are to place the Nissan's service in the list of automobile manufacturers, where and how will you guys place it?
Feels great knowing I made the right choice with the turbo CVT combo! Your positive review really added confidence to my decision-thanks for sharing your thoughts!
09:46 the day I understood how good a Turbo-petrol CVT Magnite is when it helped me cover the stretch between Talegaon and Bangalore in under 11 hours. It felt so comfortable covering 861km at that pace!
Hi Karthik, I bought the Nissan Amt on 22nd Oct as i was tight on the budget, this is my first car and i learned driving recently. Before this, I have only driven (in delhi) maruti cars at driving school and for practice. Can you cover in detail about the bad reputation and problems with this particular variant. Thank you so much, really love the content!
Hi Sourabh, congratulations on your Magnite. The point here is that - it’s an engine that needs to be driven calmly. It doesn’t have as much performance as its rivals. So as long as you take it easy it will feel enjoyable. This becomes doubly important with the AMT. Because That has some lag in gear changes / which highlights the lack of performance. Hope that helps!
We need a value comparison between the Nissan Magnite Turbo and the Citroen Basalt Turbo AT. If I were to buy an individual car, it would be one of these. I'm ready to take the risk!
Sir thanks for your in-depth review, taking all points clearly, i have also gone with TEKNA rather than TEKNA+. But confused about naturally aspirated or turbo pls suggest. Required as a family car and 1st also. Driving city 60% & HW 40%
Hi M, we would recommend the turbo - because with the added performance - it will feel like a car that you could use easily for more things - so you will feel like holding on to it for longer.
Awesome job, guys! I loved the conversation. In my city, the on-road price of the Magnite is around 14.50 lakhs, which is comparable to some variants of the Sonet and XUV300. I’m also eagerly waiting for the review of the 1.0L manual variant. Thanks for the effort!
Comment section on Magnite video should not be a place to be asking this question, but can we expect a new Verna(NA and Turbo variant) Motorinc video anytime in the near future? I see multiple shorts on the same but not a video where Kartikeya explains how it feels and Shumi sums it up perfectly. Anyway, great video, binging Motorinc podcasts with no plans of buying a vehicle in recent time is a fav activity.
@@abhinavdixit8288 I see shorts of Balance series and other short specific content and not shorts cut from the podcast, can be members only as well but usually the first drive impressions are not restricted
Definitely this is a serious consideration now for anyone buying sub 4 meter hoping nissan do well in India and launch more products which are price as well as this is. PS: I like the design changes
Karthik & Shumi : Have been longing to hear your review on The New Nissan Magnite. Glad to hear that The car is a good value package. The Full Blown Drive review would be very useful Niissan calls The Magnite as One Car One World = Hope that statement stands good Karthik this was an excellent review = Much Appreciated = The One Variant Below The Fully Loaded One Was A Nice Suggestion Feel Blessed Listening to Your Podcast Hats Off Motorinc 👌😍
Hello I like your videos they are really nice and informative. Right now I am planning to buy a bike for city ride for family. Therefore I need your help to choose bike. I have 3 bikes in my mind 1. FZ-X 2. Classic 350 3. Jawa 42FJ Or any other bike in your opinion
Hello, Karthikeya ji and shumi ji very excited to watch you both in one frame clearly explaining about the cars and bikes in a lively and practical manner but need some of your expertise over traveling with these machines together. Will love seeing you in different locations that every machine that you describe is capable off. I will be wishing one of you take the car and the other a bike to a destination and review about it.
Even Though I don't even need to watch these videos I still watch it because how nice these Guys Speak + Why is Our Foreign Ministers Taking about vehicles
Nissan just launch good cars under 25 lakh bracket A hatch under 8lakh A suv for rival Creta and seltos A suv in xuv700 and harrier category. And all products must be made in India just like magnite dont bring in cbu route it would only increase price. I just wanted to see Nissan be in the top 5 car makers in India😊❤

Please drive the naturaly aspirated engine as you have suggested to extend the budget from going to Alto to magnite. And how best can it performs against swift and others cars in this price segment as all the other cars have more Horse power?
Thank you for this
Hello Kartikeya, the Turbo CVT costs almost 3 lakhs more than the NA AMT. Is it worth spending the extra 3 lakhs, or does it seem to be spilling out of the VFM basket in general ?
Motorinc is part of my 'me time'.
Morning! We’ll leave you alone then. 😁
@@motorinc 😄

Great news! Nissan has accomplished what its global competitor Toyota couldn’t - successfully creating high-quality small cars in India. While Toyota struggled to make compact models for the Indian market, Nissan’s approach shines. Yet, one wonders why they haven’t embraced Suzuki’s model of crafting India-specific cars with a global appeal. An India specific Patrol... Mouthwatering
Staaaaaaapppp! Have to make it through the work day! We’ll be day dreaming now.
Patrol is 5.3 meters long, it's impractical for India. No matter how much India spec you make it. Kicks on the other hand fits nicely as a competitor to Creta.
If only
@@berserkhorimiya Really hoping they launch the Kicks next
Datsun was actually Nissan's attempt to embrace suzuki's model, which failed misserably... On the other hand, suzuki's models are having a grip in this country majorly because, there is a huge mob in our country who will buy anything regardless of what the value is, just because there is Maruthi badge on the car. Also there is another chunk of people who rely on this brand, because of their extensive service network, which no other OEM in this country can beat..
I really love the statement- we are not price conscious but value conscious market. We deserve better products like these and drive out the mediocre core ones
👍🏽
It's the customer gauging and then based on that engineering a product to satisfy the customer. Its not an easy thing to do.
What Nissan did is remarkable. It's almost like they collected what could be improved in the cars from the actual users and worked on each fronts.
Hey SK! Does seem that way!
They must be crazy. Who does that?? 😂
@@motorinc I want to buy this car, but I'm concerned about service and parts availability in the coming years. Do you have any clue when this car will also be taken off the Indian market? You know Nissan is well-known in India for discontinuing a large number of models within a few years.
@@valdimirputin1335 Don't worry about parts as there are 3 cars in plenty nos running on the same engine/platform Magnite, Kiger and Triber. Manufacturing is at a common plant in Chennai and Engine and Gearboxes are Made in India and exported
I got mine delivered last weekend 400 km done and feels like best decision.
Congratulations!
Which variant did you go for?
Which variant ? Plz share your experience once you get the car serviced , people are saying it's service cost is high
@@ashugupta1876 Service cost is one of the least. Do check again.
Hey! Devraj what colour did you get it in?
The updates that Nissan gives to magnite shows that Nissan is a great customer oriented brand❤❤
Waiting to see more Nissan cars launch in India
We hope so too!
Magnite is the EcoSport of our times.🎀
😁
There was soo much to talk about this facelift which Motorinc perfectly captured and placed in video, on the other hand multiple reviews only talked about nothing has changed externally and nissan is calling it a facelift.
Great insights guys.
Glad we could help @adityakambli6495
Ur reviews have made me look at all other reviews as very pedestrian…. U guys are at another level
Hey V! Thanks for taking time to share that with us. Grateful to know we can be of help.
I somehow feel the magnite will do really well with a 4x4 setup, looking at its stance in the video clippings. I know the platform doesn't support it and nissan-renault have no plans to make a jimny rival. But its good to imagine. Like all the cars we can imagine in nissan showrooms now.
Oohhh… a zinger at the end….
Hey, just a pointer. I noticed a few edit errors, like lip sync issues and a text error where it said non turbo was 100hp and turbo was 72hp. As a fellow editor, please don’t be harsh on the editor, this could’ve been a Rush situation. It’s hard to keep track of everything on a 50min video so Just pointing it out for the QC folks.
Thanks for pitching in! And for looking out for the Eds. 🙏🏾❤️
Let me share you my story of choosing a sub 4 meter in 2023. My first thought was Magnite, in 2023. when i just sat on the cabin i knew i needed this car(in showroom). Looked amazing, interior was on point. After that we went to look at the Sonet in showroom, it was premium but my heart was on Magnite(it was my emotional decision). Sonet felt more family car but as a 27 year old enthusiast I really wanted a turbo petrol manual that was only available with Magnite.
After couple days, the Nissan guys got me a test drive on the base 1.0L engine 72 ps(they said they only had that car on available right now, not the turbo petrol variant). Since Nissan isnt doing huge in India, they had a small showroom with only two cars on display. I used to drive a duster Diesel 2013 and when i drove the Magnite, I was SO DISSAPOINTED by the sound insulation and the engine noise, that the Nissan dealer turn up the radio so that i dont get annoyed by the sound insulation(totally a deal breaker for me). Now after that Sonet was THE only sensible choice left, it was premium and good for the family plus the service center was very close( which was not for nissan). I really wanted a Magnite back then but was heartbroken by the issues it had and the lack of power base engine had. After that i didnt even want to test the turbo petrol, totally disappointed.
Now after watching this FIRST, Im happy they fixed all these issues and it is well rounded car. I wished Nissan made these changes earlier, Magnite would be sitting in my garage right now. Anyways, Loved this episode of the MotorInc First. All this talk about how amazing magnite facelift has brought back some unresolved feelings. You are probably wondering why Im typing a damn essay in your comment section but even when i drive the sonet dct 1.0 (one could argue its better). I see Magnites on road and Its always head turner for me. Now im just regretting my purchase and its so early on Sonet that changing isnt an option anymore.
Yo M5T! We love the essay. Because, we know how you feel now. So happy to hear how you look at both of them. And enjoy the Sonet. Great little car!
I'm almost in the same situation here
Except it was my parents who were against Nissan as a whole. They are a bit unsure of the service network, hence going for the Sonet
I wish them well, it is a good thing we have some competition in enthusiastic products with Citroen and Nissan.
It is also too late to change now, still enjoying my Sonet so far
Wonderful, but I dropped sonet and chose magnite last year
As you have rightly said in the start "an emotional decision", but then you have made a technical decision. Though now a good car in this and from lower segments, what you have in your garage is still a headturner!! Movement that inspires.
Just for reference Non Turbo Efficiency actual nos...Manual
My Magnite is 1500 kms old approx
City Kolkata
Average Efficiency: 11-13 kmpl with AC
Worst: 7.9 km Slow two way traffic with Autos, Rickshaws et al.
Best: Empty roads, start stop at a few signals, Saturday/ Sunday with AC over a 20km distance...18km
Without AC Fast moving Office day traffic -16 to 17kmpl
My previous car was a 2016 WagonR Auto: Few observations....
WagonR also used to give 13-14km with same driver in the same city.
Magnite is actually shorter than the Wagon R but sufficient headroom is available even with driver seat in highest position for my 5ft 10in height
Suzuki engine felt more free revving, but this has appox 5 bhp and 5Nm more...maybe its still running in...
Weight is 50 to 100kg more depending on variant...940 kg vs 885 kg, so evenly matched power to weight ratios, one would think
Unlike online comments its never felt underpowered in traffic and keeps up or overtakes quickly enough within the limits of our crowded city.
Engine settles between 2000 to 3500 rpm within the city...
I expect the Turbo is a little more thirsty in the same situation
Best thing, WagonR was top heavy and this one with a lower height, wider track feels better planted.
Bumps and potholes are dispatched without any concern.
While I was watching the review, I simultaneously opened another tab on the browser to check what are the features offered by the Magnite, and I have to say it's a lot. I selected the top end variant i.e. CVT with the dual tone paint scheme to see and I am not sure whether or not certain premium and bigger cars offer the same list of features. It's just that good. For Rs. 14.41L on-road in Bangalore, I think this is a really good car to go for.
Heya AS! We have some more homework’s for you…
Could you compare the Magnite and Sonet’s variants too.
JK!!
Thanks for the analysis though.
Hahaha, you're welcome @@motorinc 😀
- AR
The Micra was also a well-made Nissan when it was launched back then. Simple, cute with some reliable engines yet it didn't feel rudimentary and bare basic even tho its equipment levels were basic. I haven't driven the Kicks but heard it was also a good car.
But those days the attitude of dealers were so bad. I ended up buying a swift.
I still have my micra, 11 years and counting. At the time I bought it, it was more expensive than any hatchback but back then the only feature miss I think was the lack of reverse camera which isnt a deal breaker ever. The suspension holds up against today’s sub 4s, the CVT has been brilliant as always. Perfect city car. The got very close to buying the Kicks but the dealerships weren’t interested in selling it… moreover the top spec was manual and the CVT was barebones. Zero features which I thought was a miss a few back.
@@amargshukla I was talking about 2010. Sold my Swift last year after clocking 2L kms :)
The Micro was good! Just quirky and pricey. Eventually the price did come down…
I went for a test drive and it feels so effortless and fun to drive. Just love the handling and CVT. Good that Nissan did not add ADAS to this as this keeps price in check and also ADAS makes no sense for India. I wanted little more boot space and sales team mentioned that roof can handle up to 50 kg of weight which was great. This also ticket all boxes for me.
My only concern is Nissan service centers in Bengaluru. We have only dealer and he has only one service center which is 1 hr away from me (on a good day). They promised this will improve and hopefully I will have somethin nearby.
Finally the most satisfying part:
Thank you Guys for making a clean and useful video :-). The great feeling that I closed in on a great car without confusion/FOMO/etc makes buying so much more satisfying.
I like these in depth and practical discussions instead of specs, cost etc comparison with 5/6 cars in parallel.
I am more of a ADV bikes guy than cars. So I am exited for one from Shumi on 2025 390 ADV. Hopefully iska nisaana bhi nahi chutega 🙂.
Hi @madhukirandr, thank you very much for sharing your experience! Yes, we do hope that Nissan improves the service centres reach as well. And lastly, about the 390 Adventure, guess we'll have to wait and watch. 😅
This episode was amazing, been waiting for it since yesterday. It was informative, and entertaining. The funny comments, one-liner. And off course Nissan Magnite, such an amazing product. In a market where everybody is hiking their prices and going towards 15 lakh rupees mark. Nissan decide to not change the prices and improve on various fronts. One should buy this car truly instead of an hatchback from suzuki or hyundai. But thank you guys you're a blessing to every automobile enthusiast. I mean how 50 mins passed away it felt like I started it few mins ago only.
Thanks HB for spending your Sunday afternoon with us! Appreciate it.
Nearing 3 years and 35k km on my turbo manual top trim. Have driven across the breadth of the country- Odisha, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.
Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous looks. Satisfactory performance and good fuel efficiency.Nice features. Good reliability. Never had an issue with service network.
Happy with the car 😄

Hola YB! Thanks again for letting us know what you would prefer. Have a good one!
Last Saturday ie., 26th Oct-2024 I brought Home Nissan Magnite N-Connecta Flare Garnet Red & Onyx Black (Dual Tone) Turbo CVT Model and I drove more than 100 Kms as on today. I feel its a good budget Family Car. Turbo CVT have Good pickup and its showing mileage of 16.1 kmpl. Drove Sunday Morning, Afternoon and Evening as well, its mixture of Less, Average and More Traffic conditions within City limits. One can consider this and test drive this before finalizing others.
Congratulations @ramakrishnak3725!! Thanks for sharing it with us. We wish you lots of good times on the Magnite.
Now Magnite looks more like nissan suvs
And the fog lamps placed are perfect❤
Good to have your take!
😂, it still looks the same, just interiors are better and that too in top variant
That part when Karthikeya is telling about having to take a 90 degree left turn to join the main road amidst traffic and having to manage the throttle input! Oh man, this is what makes you guys by far the best reviewers in the country. These small but critical details get so much mention and nobody does this. I can literally imagine how the car feels while driving by just listening to the conversation. Keep it up! Also, chuffed that the Magnite has gotten even better. Insane value for money.
Ready, steady, dont go ! Man you made my hour 🥸
Hahaha!
I had a good laughter when you started with the variant's name
Couldn’t help it!
Same lmao
What kind of name is N connecta 😂
The variant names are weird!!
I resonate with all that you have said. You even noticed that subtle ‘too peppy aspect’ of pre facelift Magnite, clocked 30k and I am yet to see a reason to use the sports mode button!
Also did you miss to mention some additions like the cooled glovebox, auto irvm, concealed door lock etc or simply left out.
I still love the existing alloy design as well as the overall frontal portion which felt cleaner compared to the ‘in the face’ grill section and front bumper in the facelift.
Planning to change the taillamp as it’s better looking now, also add the new irvm if possible.
Personally happy that there are no extreme changes that would warrant existing owners of Magnite Turbo CVT like me to go for an exchange, yet rightfully improved and rectified for all the new customers. Good review Motorinc and Good Job Nissan India!
Thank you for joining us @sanem2555! Glad you found it helpful. And, thank you for the feedback as well.
@sanem2555 how much mileage are you getting? And how was the service? Did you get any issues?
Guys can you just make a video about what immense value the Honda Amaze CVT is offering at today's deep discounts. There is simply no competition for this car. Your audience deserves to be made aware about it.
True, the most well rounded car or lowest price. Bought it 2 years ago to drive around in Bengaluru traffic.
How big is the discount
We’re waiting for the new Amaze now. Should be soon.
@@motorinc thanks.
Have been using a honda amaze cvt (bought 2nd hand) and have not regretted for a minute.. gearbox is smooth and the engine is super refined.. have never been a fan of a sunroof and the amaze has all the necessary features..
Undoubtedly the best car in the segment❤
Hope to see more magnites on road ❤
👍🏽
Now this is what a proper Nissan car looks like❤
👍🏽
Magnite is a gem car.
The negatives that is getting for naturally aspirated engine is just irrelevant the owners are happy with that engine, other car buyers are in distress😂
Thanks for the concern AA. Appreciate it. Our team makes us awesome.
Magnite the best in segment under 13 lakh ❤
Turbo
It is ace!
18:18 good to see that a three-point seatbelt for the rear centre occupant has been added as standard equipment
It's good to see Nissan Magnite getting recognition from the journalists that matters a lot. I have always loved the design and value aspect of the car and now it has elevated to another level. Kudos to Nissan and to you guys for bringing out the best of the cars and recommending us better cars.
Happy to have you with us! 🙏🏾
True..... Nissan Magnite is the best looking sub4 mtr crossover in India. And with this facelift its even better. Nissan should bring in more products in 10-25 lacs segment.

A perfect all rounder car for under 14 lakhs

Good to have your take!
I bought the Nissan Magnite XV premium+ last year (got delivery on Diwali). So by that time nissan build quality improved.
there are still rattling nosies on bumpy roads but overall it has reduced or maybe I have gotten used to it (hard to tell 😅)
I love the design my car than the facelift.
I love the new tail lamps and I want to get it in my Magnite I asked my service centre and they said they haven't done R&D so whether it will fit or not it only time will tell.
I want the remote start feature as well (but not exactly a priority),.
I'm hopping I get it leatherette from after market.
Coming to engine sometimes there is delay when I try to accelerate from a stop. On highways it feels so good and easy to drive not tiring at all.
Like all CVTs it shifts up only when you lift off accelerator pedal which is fine.
I get roughly 9-11 kmpl and on highways it somewhere around 17-19 kmpl.
Finally I have really old school lock which are those pull pins on top of door near window and in the new magnite they have fixed it so thanks!
I love that my car does not have sunroof.
Thanks for sharing @iamsidd_j! It looks like you enjoy driving the Magnite but how has the service been for you?
Yes i would also love to know how's the service and did you face any issues at all in a year?
@@motorinc I only had one service it was good. after that someone rammed me from behind and I had to claim insurance and it was fixed in 4 business days.
Overall it was noice experience. They were also provided me free drop of the car after the 1st service.
Now that's a review that sells more than any gimmeky showroom or festive offer can! The Art of Conversation has just been OG'ed by both of you guys . Kudos !! And Karthik , You were the reason i zeroed in and bought a Grand i10 Nios (my current car ) , back when you reviewed it with Zigwheel in 2018 /2019 . And you are reason why i'm gonna buy a magnite in 2025 . Absolutely of the top drawer, MotorInc . Keep it coming !
Heya KS! Thanks for sharing that with us. Keep us posted on the decision!
In Tekna they should have brought dual channel dash cam, rear drum brakes, geo fencing, cornering lamp function and underbody engine bay covering atleast. After that it would have been complete
Like Wagon R it should have an option of 1.2 NA engine too. Most who do city commutes with occasional highway trips would have benefitted from it
Better than AMT they should have tried offering IMT like KIA provides.
About Turbo repair costs might be a concern for majority of buyers. So 1.2 Ltr NA with approx 88-90 PS power and 115 NM Torque many customers might have considered. Very few are going for Turbos still. The one on Nissan is 1 Ltr Mpfi Turbo engine and not GDI one like others are providing. Rest of the stuff has got sorted
Good to have your take! 👍🏽
In the first gen of magnite/kiger, there used to be a lack of door beading, because of which the a/c performance was affected. Even back then ,it used to cool fast enough, but the cold cabin air used to leak out.. Has this been sorted out in the facelift?
40:17 coming to the styling aspect- I think this is the right amount of styling.. Not too flashy or overemphasized. Compared to a 3x0 or a Nexon, which are too busy in their front bonet and grills, I feel the magnite has rightly nailed it...
Thanks NP! We’ll cross check when we get it back. Thanks for the inputs.
Hey I own a rediGo and its really good for its price.....you should compare it with alto....rediGO a 800cc car which produces 54bhp....almost 8-10bhp more than a Alto. It has 184mm ground clearance perfect for our road conditions.....I drove through roads filled with deep craters and it took it really well...I drove 450km in one go without any fatigue and at a cruising speed of 90kmph ....it goes upto 135-140 KPH which is very good for its class.....and can easily cruise 90-100 kph in our highways. We indians bought alto in large numbers but ignored rediGO which is a superior product than an Alto. I have driven alto 800 ... Datsun rediGO is a superior product with same price maybe even cheaper than an Alto. Its a shame.... I'll never going to sale my rediGO. Itll be in my garage till it dies....its 58000km on odo now and only issue I encountered is a rattly front arm suspension after a large bump hit on highway at 80kmph speed otherwise it naver gave me any issues....and its in perfect condition mechanically, its 2017 model. And above all it gives me above 24 kmpl if you drive at 80kmph on highways in the winters ...and in hot summer with full AC it gives me about 20kmpl on highways. In city it gives 14-15 on AC and 17 without AC.
Thanks for sharing @AKIB1991LASKAR! How are you managing to service it these days?
@@motorinc Nowadays it's much improved...much better than 2017 when I first visited their workshop.
You guys seem to be on a different level. Seen a lot of podcasts but you two just rock. Now if I watch any other channel that talks about cars, I just feel meeh. You have raised the bars.
Great job and lots of good luck for your journey❤
When these two talk its therapy....calms and clears my mind
Morning SS! Thank you for chatting with us too.
52:26 The Indian Vehicle Manufacturer Association lobbies heavily with the GOI to formulate policies favouring them. That's why, for years, we have had such heavy taxation on imports of cars not manufactured locally. This same body will try to steer the Government away from adopting hybrid tech because then Mahindra and Tata will lose their edge. Very unfortunate state of things but the administrators need to wake up and make informed decisions if they want to see India as a hub for state-of-the-art technology, manufacturing and exporting vehicles. Otherwise, we will continue to get majorly sub par vehicles with a few glimmers of hope here and there.
The Government needs to encourage manufacturing too. But, it’s been quite restrictive.
a great and comprehensive first impression as always!! will there be a Magnite vs Fronx coming up!!!!? eager to know and watch!!
Suggestion noted @shameerhafeezullakhan3383
Hey Kartikeya @motorinc, I am a first time car buyer and looking for a family car but also want to complete my enthusiasm for having a great engine, suspension and control over car so I can fun around when I need to (50% city 50% highway).
My top pick was Mahindra 3XO Base variant because I has a great engine and suspension setup (upgrading features after market sometime later) and second was Tata Punch Accomplished plus which is feature loaded with better resale value than Magnite.
Do you think I should look for Magnite Turbo engine with is 10.2 lacs on road?
My budget on road is below 9 lacs that too after stretching it from 7-8 lacs and I know good engines sometimes cost you well.
Hullo TL! The answer is a very emphatic yes! Do test drive it and let us know what you feel. 👍🏽
@@motorinc Thanks for the quick reply. But my hearts says to prefer 3XO. Will it be a fast/aggressive car for first time car driver?
For Nissan I am concerned if brand will survive for next 10 years or not.
The only way the heart can decide (☺️) is with experience. If you have enjoyed driving the 3XO - and it works for you - go ahead. We don’t think it’s the easiest to drive in the city, nor as family friendly. Hence, our recommendation.
@@motorinc Once again thank you for quick reply. 😃😃
3xo under 10 mileage in highways😢😢@@tufelahmedlokhandwala668
I drove a friend's Redigo, and I found the engine refinement just fine, very much comparable to other Japanese engines.
Few questions on turbo engines:
1. Are they reliable on a long term basis i.e. > 5 years
2. Do they require a warm up duration at engine start and cool down duration before engine switch off
3. Need to stop during long drives to let them cool down
4. Need to use only premium fuels?
Thanks
I don't think any car made for the Indian market needs premium fuel. The gains are too miniscule to actually make a difference in your fuel economy. The difference in FE will be more if you leave the spare wheel at home. Unless it's on the manual regular unleaded will do.
1. they are fairly reliable if maintained as recommended by the brands
2. Warm is recommended in all engines tbh, read your owner manual and follow accordingly. Personally, I would recommend at least 30sec warm up and then get going slowly not at high revs until engine reaches optimum temperature. Cool down is needed on turbo engines if they have run at high rpm for long time, to let the turbo cool. So, yes you need to let the turbo cars cool down after a spirited drive. Your start stop strategy should take care of that mostly.
3. I do not agree about stopping frequently in long drives because of your car, it’s based on how frequently need a break. I drove turbo car for hours and 300km+ without stopping, you can also see the endurance testing that VW and Mahindra did, they are all turbo engines and didn’t take a break to shut engine off even during driver change
4. Premium fuels like XP95 are recommended in VW turbos, not sure about creta, seltos etc. But, I would encourage premium fuel for the extra rev happy and safe it make the engine from bad fuels.
If you are too afraid of turbo engines, get a NA but you may have to compromise on the dmid range grunt of turbos but will get NA with no turbo lag and better city mileage.
Hey AK, regarding queries 1-3 - modern turbos don’t have these issues. Some basic care is good enough.
Query 4 - no, this turbo engine runs on 91 Octane.
@@motorinc Thanks for the reply
13:39 - These are the grade names widely used in Nissan Global Brands. It is great that they introduced it to the India.
4:02 the Go plus wasn't completely useless....it was the perfect hearse and it was the steady go among em...er because you know corpses don't move
Oooooohhhh dyummm. You lit that one up.
Thank you for considering our request and doing a Motorinc first on the Magnite. Really appreciate it!! I have a follow up question. How is the latest service experience with Nissan service centres?
I understand that this turbo version is better when compared to punch and exter but how does it hold up against Turbo Fronx, Brezza , petrol turbos of 3xO, Nexon,Sonet , Venue etc in this category
It’s a great balance of easy to drive and fun to drive while providing great value.
listening to em like a podcast, While needing to rest your eyes. My uncles a dealer in the north-east, own a kuro and i cant wait for more from Nissan ❤️
Heya Richard! We hope so too! And all the best to your uncle too!
9:30 Turbo and Non Turbo names are swapped in specs.
😄
Exactly what I thought as well
Just to share something quirky here, it is not a feedback neither a suggestion u guys are perfect as u are but intuitively I develop my own quick summary as I sit through your first impressions that I often skip yours to not ruin mine. This is to help me gauge the product better within my own realm of variables and parameters of the good, the bad, the value etc. that I built throughout my years of driving cars and riding bikes
Thanks for sharing! Keep at it! Look forward to tips!
Hey guys, how is Nissan’s after-sales and service centre experience??
same question
We feel it's dependent on the dealer. Make it a point to ask existing owners about their experiences.
Same issue
This is the new alto or baleno. Crazy crazy value. And the package is everything. Safe, spacious, nicer interior, good seats, suv fied, and a fun engine with an automatic.
Thanks for giving it its due.
Heya PW! We thought of the Baleno that way. And now this. Absolutely deserving of that praise. Thanks again.
Scotty Kilmer thinks Nissan is not Japanese. It became trash after the Renault merger/takeover. I dunno.
Actually it was carlos ghosn who in his bid to maximise profitability began cutting corners aggressively in nissan cars. As a result the company soared but it’s reputation took a hit and now many consider the brand as total junk. But then without ghosn and renault the company would’ve surely gone bankrupt so it is what it is
Scotty is wild! 😁
If it's a merger/takeover then it is not Japanese, also Japan is a vassal state of the USA...
22:33 woah, that's some good suspension! The tank road was part of the route I used to commute on in Pune, have had some bone-jarring rides over it trying to overtake traffic 😅
Great video covering every possible topic to help clarify doubts. Thank you so much for consistent quality and informative videos guys!
Glad it was helpful @vineetj4u!
Historically, alliances between manufacturers has never been too successful, Renaul-Nissan partnership does look like an exception.
I sincerely hope their global decision making doesn't impact Indian operations and strategies.
As the country evolves and manufacturers going premium in pricing, such value centric products will become rare.
Nissan, please keep doing the same stuff as your doing with Magnite
Heya VH! That last line - absolutely!

I've been waiting impatiently for you both to create this first impressions on the Magnite!
PS: Norway.. most EVs (mostly Teslas) in Europe.. and fjords! *nostalgic*
Cheers!
Were you there? What was it like?
@motorinc Yes, I used to work in the maritime and offshore sector, and I was deployed in Stavanger for a project for almost a year (2015-16). I would say this place (or rather 4 out of 5 countries where I have lived) were utopias of work-life balance.
In Norway, weekdays typically started with a shot of espresso, followed by work routine, and ending with beers with them folks.. Also, there are companies that follow 6-week schedule (for example, the clients).. they'd work 6 weeks, and then be gone on holidays for the next 6.. I envied them; it seemed to defy "grass is greener on the other side" analogy..
On weekends, I'd chill with folks, go bouldering in summers, and snowboarding in winters, or drive up to Bergen.. the road is scenic along the fjords..
PS: A friend of mine from South Africa told me that Magnite Accenta Plus (South Africa variant) has the same features as Tekna (India variant) .. makes me wonder, if they sell stripped down variants in India under similar name tags?

Dhanyawaad Mitra!
Watched a little late, but no worries you have once again hit the spot on !! Just enjoy watching these conversations due to the mature conversation between both of you & also Shumi's superb humour.. Keep going team Motorinc.. Waiting for more as always..🙂
Thank you for joining us @adithyakrishna9867
Great chit-chat on cars.....love the casual delivery of pertinent information to car enthusiasts with healthy dose of satire. One small suggestion, please include braking performance in your discussions as i think that is a very important criteria when it comes to safety.
The nissan magnite review especially regarding the cvt automatic feel is spot on. I myself have driven Nissan Kicks, Nissan Versa and have faced Nissan Altimas and Maximas on road. Nissan CVT have really sporty feel and it is really easy to drive them fast and even rashly. But their cvt are prone to failure as the company dealership in north America don't change the cvt fluid filter ever(but do sell it as a part and don't encourage people to buy it). Also not changing the cvt fluid every 50000km gives disastrous results to people. With all these cvt transmission issues, and those issues getting outrightly spoken by mechanics and Nissan owners on Facebook, tiktok and RUclips, people aren't buying Nissan cars and rather buy Kia and Hyundai which have better CVT at same price.
Magnite and Triber are some of the most underrated cars in the Indian market. I really hope Nissan and Renault don't disappear and make customers more anxious. Ford and Chevrolet have caused so munch anxiety and they are indirectly the reason for Indian customers being anxious to try new brands like Citreon.
Agreed!
Love you guys to love my Magnite! I bought it in 2022 and enjoying it. Just those rattling issues and halka fulka plastic around you makes the experience little dull but engine is awesome as rightly put by Karthik. However, my version even though its peppy enough turbo but I feel alive when I put it in Sports mode, substantial difference. Nice review again rockers!
☺️ wish you awesome travels with your Magnite Viks!
Did you get any issues with the car and how's the service so far
@ No major issues so far. I bought service package during purchase and so far experience is good. Even though suspension is good for deep pot holes and rough road but you get a really loud thud when going through an edgy pothole. Also i feel cabin noise is a bit more so I am planning to get it done from outside
How's the service network of Nissan? How does it compare with a Toyota/Maruti Suzuki service centres? If you are to place the Nissan's service in the list of automobile manufacturers, where and how will you guys place it?
Do so much good that nobody thinks bad about it... this statement perfectly suits the Magnite
Ace!
Feels great knowing I made the right choice with the turbo CVT combo! Your positive review really added confidence to my decision-thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Return the favour please! 😄
Tell us how it does? And showroom/service centre experience.
And!! Congratulations! 😁
09:46 the day I understood how good a Turbo-petrol CVT Magnite is when it helped me cover the stretch between Talegaon and Bangalore in under 11 hours. It felt so comfortable covering 861km at that pace!
Hello! What mileage did you get MS?
@@motorinc 13-ish kmpl. Was not driving calmly.
Good product reviews are always great they talk about it with a smile we watch it with a smile 😊
Hola VV! Thanks is for strong the mood!
Excellent review as always. What about tyres on wet roads and the service quality of Nissan?
Past conversations with owners suggest that dealers are generally responsive and helpful. 👍🏽
Hi Karthik, I bought the Nissan Amt on 22nd Oct as i was tight on the budget, this is my first car and i learned driving recently. Before this, I have only driven (in delhi) maruti cars at driving school and for practice. Can you cover in detail about the bad reputation and problems with this particular variant. Thank you so much, really love the content!
Hi Sourabh, congratulations on your Magnite. The point here is that - it’s an engine that needs to be driven calmly. It doesn’t have as much performance as its rivals. So as long as you take it easy it will feel enjoyable. This becomes doubly important with the AMT. Because That has some lag in gear changes / which highlights the lack of performance.
Hope that helps!
@@motorinc Thank you so much! ❤️ Looking forward to your detailed analysis after you test the N.A models.
We need a value comparison between the Nissan Magnite Turbo and the Citroen Basalt Turbo AT.
If I were to buy an individual car, it would be one of these. I'm ready to take the risk!
Hey, if this is a benchmark car for Nissan, could this result in more options in the mass market? I feel the only real choices are Maruti and Hyundai.
Sir thanks for your in-depth review, taking all points clearly, i have also gone with TEKNA rather than TEKNA+. But confused about naturally aspirated or turbo pls suggest. Required as a family car and 1st also. Driving city 60% & HW 40%
Hi M, we would recommend the turbo - because with the added performance - it will feel like a car that you could use easily for more things - so you will feel like holding on to it for longer.
Awesome job, guys! I loved the conversation. In my city, the on-road price of the Magnite is around 14.50 lakhs, which is comparable to some variants of the Sonet and XUV300. I’m also eagerly waiting for the review of the 1.0L manual variant. Thanks for the effort!
Thanks for sharing! We’ll keep that in mind.
It's a very good upgrade for hatchback buyers ❤❤❤
Now if we compare the mid varients of Sonet and magnite, does the added price for sonet justifies?
Thank you so much Guys...Loved it...Tekna variant added in my wishlist for buying.
Let us know about changes to your garage please! 😁
Comment section on Magnite video should not be a place to be asking this question, but can we expect a new Verna(NA and Turbo variant) Motorinc video anytime in the near future? I see multiple shorts on the same but not a video where Kartikeya explains how it feels and Shumi sums it up perfectly.
Anyway, great video, binging Motorinc podcasts with no plans of buying a vehicle in recent time is a fav activity.
if you keep seeing shorts, it means there's a full video somewhere that is a "Members-Access Only"
@@abhinavdixit8288 I see shorts of Balance series and other short specific content and not shorts cut from the podcast, can be members only as well but usually the first drive impressions are not restricted
Thanks guys for pitching in!
Damn it's good to hear that it's a good update, looking forward for the view and also MT review!
Noted Bharat! Thanks for letting us know your preference.
Definitely this is a serious consideration now for anyone buying sub 4 meter hoping nissan do well in India and launch more products which are price as well as this is.
PS: I like the design changes
Good to know AS!
9:30 You guys messed up there lol
Which will u suggest under 10 lacs ??
Mannual Magnite or Manual breeza???
Which engine in Magnite?
@@motorinc Magnite turbo
Karthik & Shumi : Have been longing to hear your review on The New Nissan Magnite. Glad to hear that The car is a good value package. The Full Blown Drive review would be very useful
Niissan calls The Magnite as One Car One World = Hope that statement stands good
Karthik this was an excellent review = Much Appreciated = The One Variant Below The Fully Loaded One Was A Nice Suggestion
Feel Blessed Listening to Your Podcast
Hats Off Motorinc 👌😍
Hullo D! Thank you for taking time to write in. Happy to know we could help!
Hello I like your videos they are really nice and informative.
Right now I am planning to buy a bike for city ride for family. Therefore I need your help to choose bike.
I have 3 bikes in my mind
1. FZ-X
2. Classic 350
3. Jawa 42FJ
Or any other bike in your opinion
Hello, Karthikeya ji and shumi ji very excited to watch you both in one frame clearly explaining about the cars and bikes in a lively and practical manner but need some of your expertise over traveling with these machines together. Will love seeing you in different locations that every machine that you describe is capable off. I will be wishing one of you take the car and the other a bike to a destination and review about it.
Hullo KC! Thanks for letting us know what you want! Super helpful. 🙏🏾
If i am looking for automatic Is AMT not worth it? As turbo CVT is going above 10 lakh so taxes will be more
Even Though I don't even need to watch these videos
I still watch it because how nice these Guys Speak
+ Why is Our Foreign Ministers Taking about vehicles
Thank you for joining us @nandalalu5580!
This is the best review for nissan magnite
Kudos to ur team 💯
We’ll pass it on. Thank you AS!
Nissan just launch good cars under 25 lakh bracket
A hatch under 8lakh
A suv for rival Creta and seltos
A suv in xuv700 and harrier category.
And all products must be made in India just like magnite dont bring in cbu route it would only increase price.
I just wanted to see Nissan be in the top 5 car makers in India😊❤
☺️👍🏽
