The world of SUVs has seen a significant shift with the introduction of Nissan’s latest offering. Let’s dive deep into what this new vehicle brings to the table.
Overview
Nissan India has launched the AMT model of its popular SUV, Magnite, this month. Priced at an ex-showroom rate of just ₹6.50 lakh, this SUV is all set to make waves in the Indian market. The company claims an impressive ARAI mileage of 20Kmpl for this variant.
Competition Heats Up
The entry of this budget-friendly automatic variant of Magnite poses challenges for other models in the segment, notably Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter. But with the mileage details of Magnite AMT now available, it stands tall with its impressive 20Kmpl, equal to its manual variant. This implies that not only will you get the Magnite’s automatic variant at a lower price, but its fuel efficiency is also commendably high.

- Tata Punch (automatic variant – Adventure AMT): Priced at ₹749,900.
- Hyundai Exter (base automatic variant – S AMT): Comes with a tag of ₹796,980.
Clearly, the Magnite AMT is almost ₹1 lakh cheaper than the Punch automatic and ₹1.50 lakh less than the Exter automatic. However, when it comes to the manual transmission variants, all three SUVs have comparable starting prices: Nissan Magnite at ₹599,900, Tata Punch at ₹599,900, and Hyundai Exter at ₹599,999.
