Nissan Magnite XV Trim Could Become The Variant to Pick - VIDEO

Ahead of its imminent launch in India, Nissan revealed the specs and trims for its Magnite compact SUV a while back. Bookings have already been underway and the upcoming model looks all set to soon lock horns with some well-established models like the Maruti Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon and Kia Sonet. It must be noted here that the new model will go on sale 4 trims - XE, XL, XV, and XV Premium. And going by the equipment list, it looks like the second-highest variant is the one that could make the most sense. 

We have a video that’s uploaded by The Car Guide – Rishabh Arora on their YouTube channel. The video focuses on the middle of the range Nissan Magnite XV variant whose prices start at Rs 6.75 lakh and is the probably the best value-for-money trimNissan offers. It gets upmarket features like LED DRLs and LED fog lamps, 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, roof rails, and silver accents on the rear and side claddings.

Over to the interior, the Nissan Magnite XV variant gets 60:40 split rear seats, rear centre armrest, rear parking camera, push start/stop, multi-function steering wheel, 8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment with integrated Android Auto and Apple Carplay, and you get a 7-inch all-digital instrument console. If you opt-in for the tech pack you get additional features like a JBL audio system, ambient lighting, puddle lamps, an air purifier, and wireless charging.

For safety, you get features like Vehicle dynamic control, traction control, cruise control, hydraulic brake assist, and hydraulic brake boost that’s only available in the CVT. The new Nissan Magnite will be launched with two powertrain choices, a 1.0 litre 3-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol which makes 81Ps/96Nm of peak power and torque figures and is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The other choice is a 1.0 litre 3-pot turbo-petrol which makes figures of 99Ps/160Nm with the 5-speed manual and 99Ps/152Nm when paired with the CVT auto. 

The Nissan Magnite will be launched in 8 colours, 4 monotone shades consisting of Blade Silver, Sandstone Brown, Onyx Black, and Storm White. The other four - Pearl White with Onyx Black, Vivid Blue with Storm White, Flare Garnet Red with Onyx Black, and Tourmaline Brown with Onyx Black are all dual-tone.
