The Nissan Magnite comes with a similar number of safety features as its rivals. It gets a longer set of features compared to Maruti’s Vitara Brezza and gets a tyre pressure monitor like the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and the Kia Sonet. However, the Magnite lags behind both the Korean brands as it only gets dual airbags instead of the 6 offered. The Sonet also gets front parking sensors, though the Magnite gets one back by offering a 360-degree camera.

The Nissan Magnite is quite well equipped in creature comfort with the top-spec trim getting you features like auto climate control, leatherette seats, LED headlights, and cruise control, with an air purifier, ambient lighting, and a wireless smartphone charger. It is better equipped than the likes of the Tata Nexon and the Maruti Vitara Brezza, especially if you choose the optional Tech Pack which gets you even more features. The Magnite does miss out on a sunroof though, a popular feature which is found on the Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet.

The Kia Sonet is the runaway leader when it comes to in-car tech with the largest-in-class 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 7-speaker Bose sound system, and a variety of drive modes. The Nissan Magnite also doesn’t get connected car tech and driving modes. It does get a 7.0-inch, full-color digital instruments display and also packs segment-first wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
