Q. What is the difference in between B4D and 1.0 turbo engine of Nissan Magnite?
  • The Magnite is offered with two petrol engines. The first is a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, also present in the Triber, that makes 72PS/96Nm. This engine can only be had with a 5-speed manual transmission. The second and more powerful option is a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that makes 100PS/160Nm. This engine too is available with a 5-speed manual transmission. Certain variants also get the option of a CVT, however, the torque figure in that case drops down to 152Nm. While that is an 8Nm difference, you'll be hard pressed to notice it in the real world.
  • The 1.0 liter turbo engine produces more amount of power and torque compared to the naturally aspirated B4D 1.0 litre engine.
Q. What's the difference between normal engine and turbo engine of Magnite?
  • Its 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine makes 72PSpower and 96Nm torque and mated to a 5-speed MT gearbox. It delivers a claimed mileage of 18.75 kmpl. On the other hand, new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit can be had with either a 5-speed MT or CVT. It churns out 100PS and 160Nm (152Nm with the CVT gearbox). It delivers 20.0 kmpl and 17.7 kmpl mileage with its manual and CVT variants respectively.
  • The Magnite is offered with two petrol engines. ... The second and more powerful option is a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that makes 100PS/160Nm. This engine too is available with a 5-speed manual transmission. Certain variants also get the option of a CVT, however, the torque figure in that case drops down to 152Nm.

Q. Which variant of Magnite is worth to buy?
  • We have a dedicated article for this which we would suggest you to refer for a better understanding of the variants of the car so you could choose one according to your need and budget- Nissan Magnite Variant Explained.
  • XE was the most value for money model when it was offered at Rs. 4.99 lakh till 31st Dec. 2020. Now, as XE price stands revised at Rs. 5.49 lakh, I think XL is the most value for money model at Rs. 5.99 lakh.
  • XE वैरिएंट की 5.49 / है। मुझे लगता है कि इसकी बिक्री 40% कम होगी । जो इस कार को खरीदने के बारे में सोच रहे थे अब पिछे हट रहे है
