It would be too early to give any verdict as it is not launched yet. So, we would request you to wait for its launch.

The Magnite should be a spacious offering as it will be based on the Renault Triber’s platform. The Triber with its best-in-segment wheelbase of 2,636mm is known for a roomy cabin. As expected, the Magnite will be a petrol-only SUV like its other Renault-Nissan siblings. Engine options could be a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated unit, same as the Triber (72PS/96Nm), mated to a 5-speed manual. The other unit could be a 1.0-litre turbo that’s likely to belt out 100PS. It is expected to get the option of a CVT along with a manual. Internally codenamed EM2, the Nissan SUV is supposed to officially hit showrooms by September (first half of FY 2020-21). However, given the ongoing pandemic and lockdown, its launch might be pushed a little further. You may set an alert for its launch.

If we talk about Kia Seltos, it impressed us So much that all we could complain about was a lack of under-thigh support and the rather stiff ride quality. There are even choices galore in terms of variants, trim and equipment levels. It looks stylish, feels premium inside, Bose speaker system is delightful, first-in-segment features, plethora of engine-transmission options and more than anything its pricing makes it one of the hottest picks in the segment. On the other hand, the Hyundai Creta is also an impressive compact SUV. It is spacious, comfortable, loaded with features, easy to drive and offered with powerful petrol and diesel engine options. Compared to the old car, it is a huge upgrade, both in terms of drive and feel. It does have some shortcomings like the polarising design or the lack of features like front parking sensors and telescopic adjust for the steering. But other than that, it is hard to fault the Hyundai Creta and it comes across as a well-rounded product. If we talk about Nissan Kicks, it has the potential to be an exciting alternative in the compact crossover segment, it looks exciting, has well-appointed interiors, has one of the most balanced ride characteristics in its segment, and has some segment-first features like a 360-degree reversing camera. The new turbo petrol means it's also the most powerful in the segment. You may compare all these cars according to their variants too. Do take a test drive before the final call. Check out authorised dealership details.

Nissan EM2(Magnite) will be a sub 4-metre SUV. The upcoming SUV is expected to be powered by two petrol engines: the 72PS 1.0-litre unit from the Triber and a new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit that develops around 100PS. While both engines could be offered with a manual gearbox, the automatic variant in the form of a CVT could be exclusively offered with the turbo-petrol unit.

Nissan EM2 likely to be called Magnite and expected to be launched by September 2020. So, you may expect its bookings around August 2020. You may set an alert for its launch also.

The Nissan Kicks seems to be doing a lot of things right. Its striking youthful design and premium quality interior work in its favour. The dynamics are sorted and the mechanicals are proven as well. It’s got most of the contents to be a great urban SUV, but there are some downsides too. The Kicks doesn’t feel big despite being amongst the largest cars in its segment. The cabin doesn’t feel spacious either. There are some ergonomic issues as well that might bother some drivers and it’s not the most well-equipped car too, missing out on features like auto-dimming IRVM, which would have added immensely to its appeal. Considering both the pros and cons leads us to the conclusion that the Kicks is a car for those who are looking for a properly stylish compact SUV. It’s for those who appreciate quality and are either buying an additional smaller (relatively) car for the family or want to upgrade their drive experience from an already premium sub-compact vehicle. As your getting a huge amount of discount, it would be a great deal. Do forget to ask for pre deliver inspection.
