So this C-shaped beam at the front seems to be doing its job as advertised. Note: Renault Triber doesn't get it. Hope it retains the crash ratings in G-NCAP as well.

Test drove the Magnite XV Premium MT.






The White colour looks good on the Magnite as well. Its a well proportioned CSUV except maybe for the wheels which look a size too small.

The interiors are acceptable for a 5 lac entry variant but a tad bland for a 10 lac car. They should've added some differentiators at least for the top variant.

Will compile a detailed TD report later when I find time.

Nissan Magnite gets 30K bookings. Can it revive Nissan's fortunes in India?

The average of 1000 units booked daily since the debut on December 2 manifests the brand’s strength and new vigour. It will, Nissan hopes, empower it to discard legacy issues and open a new chapter in India’s mobility landscape

Going by the dealers’ bookings in their software, Magnite could be sold out for 2021, and Nissan India will have to increase production at its Chennai plant to meet the demand.

Drove the top end CVT:

Likes:

1. The CVT+Engine combo is very good - Yeah, the CVT makes the car quite noisy during heavy acceleration, but it isn't bad at all - I'd live with that for the smoothness compared to the AMTs in this segment.

2. Eco mode isn't as dull as I expected - There's more than enough grunt available for overtakes and a quick getaway from a stop.

3. Decent stopping power.

4. Looks great!

5. Feels quite spacious; I'm 6'1", and I could sit behind myself without my knees touching the front seat. I guess that's the best you can expect in this segment anyway, no?

6. 360 Degree camera was perfectly usable and helpful.



Dislikes:

1. Exterior body panel flex.

2. ORVMs were vibrating violently whenever I opened or closed the driver/passenger doors.

3. Interior plastic quality is strictly below average, nothing is going to wow you.

4. The TD car had just 500 clicks on the odo and the dashboard had a terrible rattle, this will only get worse with time. For context - I test drove a Nexon Petrol with 13,000km on the clock and it was SOLID.

5. The front armrest is going to be pretty much useless for short people.

6. The ride quality is stiff - Not anywhere near the Nexon's.

7. The creeping speed of the car was slightly higher than I'm be comfortable with.

8. The way the doors close doesn't feel re-assuring.

9. Prices are going up - The base model is going to get dearer by 50k and 30k for the top model. (Ex-showroom)

10. High speed stability felt iffy - I couldn't take it over 90, but even at 90 on a less than perfect road, I felt nervous.


Overall, I'd definitely buy this over the tin cans from Maruti, but build quality is vital to me, so I'd probably wait for the Nexon DCT. I can't have my car's dash rattling, it'd drive me crazy. This one's going to be 11.5 on road for the top variant in Mumbai, which isn't THAT much cheaper than the other better built options.

Love the fact that this and the upcoming Kiger are equipped to take the fight to Maruti though. Pick your poison, I'd say; there's something for everyone in this segment now, which is obviously, great.

I am happy for Nissan. We need more players in the game. This should also be a wake-up call to those greedy manufacturers who raise prices almost every 3 months.

Nissan Magnite: 32,800 cars booked in just over 1 month

Nissan has announced that it has received 32,800 bookings for the Magnite in just over a month since its launch.



According to Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, the carmaker had received 5,000 bookings in the first 5 days. The total number of bookings crossed the 15,000 mark in 15 days.

The company claims to have received over 3,800 bookings via its online portal. Also, enquiries for the Magnite have crossed the 1.80 lakh mark.

It has been reported that to cater to the growing demand for the Magnite, Nissan plans to start a third shift at its Chennai plant and ramp up production from 2,700 units per month to 3,500-4,000 units per month. This is expected to bring down the waiting period from the current 4 months to about 2-3 months, depending on the variant.

The Nissan Magnite was launched in December last year. The crossover recently received a 4-star safety rating from ASEAN NCAP.

Midas Touch or Mr. Rakesh Srivastava's touch to be give credit to? I am sure the product itself is very potent and Mr. Rakesh is definitely a magic man! If this trend continues, we all could see some great products from Nissan!

The introductory price of Magnite will not be increased except the base variant.

Interesting! Can Magnite beat Kia Sonet's numbers? (50,000 bookings in 2 months)

If 2,700 units production per month equals 4 month waiting period, then the dispatches/sales would be 10,800 units in the next 4 months (similar numbers with 3500-4,000 units in 2-3 months). Does it mean that only ~29% of the total bookings materialise into actual sales? Is it a part of the promotion game to use such booking numbers although the projected sales figures state otherwise?

What is not clear is the available stock manufactured in last couple of months. Without knowing the same, it's meaningless to make calculation in air.

This is nothing less than a fairytale for an automaker who was in it's death-bed few months back.

Magnite has rewritten Nissan's destiny in India. As per report, 31t December itself saw over 5000 bookings.

With price remains unchanged except base XE variant and 4 star ANCAP rating(details are yet to receive), demand will rise only in coming days.

[Stribog]

Super awesome to read! India needs more OEM's to succeed, Nissan with its pedigree, line up (abroad) and brilliant platforms needed a kick to succeed and this might just be it.

Am in the market to replace the Ignis in the family (car is good, just an itch) and am seriously contemplating the Magnite.

Will visit a showroom for a TD and just hope that the dealer experience is better than from before.

Nissan Magnite base variant price hiked by 50k.
Price for other variants remains unchanged. Base model starts now at 5.45L.

This was Nissan's make it or break it product. It looks like they have made it and how!
The 4-star safety rating made the deal especially sweeter for customers that have booked the lower end trim. The value for money quotient is very high there.
