Nissan Magnite is now the cheapest sub-4-meter category SUV, which offers much better specs and features when we compare it with any other cars in this segment. Here in this blog, we are giving you our honest opinion of the Nissan Magnite in terms of features, specifications and safety. When I saw the all new Nissan Magnite I thought that it would be cost around 5.5 to 6 lac. But Nissan is trying to make a presence in India with Nissan Magnite so they launched it at 4.99 Lacs. Yes, I know it’s an introductory price but still, it comes with decent features in the base variant.

Safety
As Tata motors is now proving their build quality with its all car launches. So everyone is pretty confused about the build quality of this car. I drove this car and I can say that the car is not the safest car in its segment but still, it offers decent build quality. We haven’t seen the crash test results of this car so it quite difficult to rate this car in safety. But Nissan tried to offer all-important safety features in this car and most of them are standard in this car.
So many people ask me to compare this car with Tata Nexon, but as it is cheaper than Nexon, so we can’t compare this car with India’s safest car. As we haven’t seen any safety rating for the Nissan Magnite. Yes, Tata Nexon is also a great option for you, if you have can spend additional cost (2-3 lacs). But as I reviewed this car so I can ensure you that its build quality is far better than any Maruti Suzuki car under this price range.
Looks
When I saw the pricing of this car, I felt that it would be a game-changer for Nissan India. As it is one of the best looking Subcompact SUV in this segment. From the front, it looks far better as compared to other cars in this price segment. If you have enough budget so you can get an LED headlamp, LED DRLS, and LED fog lamps as well.
If you have seen the side looks of this car so you can say that it looks bigger from the side profile. Side cladding is also given due to which it looks much better but the tyres size selection is perfect for the design. Here you also dual-tone color option but you have to pay additional 14000/-.
