Considering the increasing demand for CNG vehicles, Nissan India plans to introduce the CNG version of the Magnite subcompact SUV in the couple of months. The CNG kit will be available at dealerships as an accessory kit. The Nissan Magnite CNG will use the 1.0L naturally aspirated petrol engine, paired with a CNG kit. Only a manual gearbox will be on offer. The power and fuel efficiency figures of the CNG variant are yet to be revealed. Though, the Magnite CNG is likely to offer a mileage of 18 to 22 km per kg.
Nissan dealers will offer a 1-year warranty for the CNG kit. The Nissan Magnite CNG is expected to be priced premium around Rs 79,000 – Rs 79,500 over its regular petrol counterparts. As of now, there is no clarity whether the CNG kit will be offered across the compact SUV lineup or reserved for select trims.
The Nissan Magnite received a midlife update in October, 2024. The compact SUV comes with the slightly improved styling with features such as a larger and wider front grille with gloss black elements and more chrome and bumper with a more pronounced faux skid plate with integrated fog lamps. The headlamps receive a new signature for the LED DRLs. It also gets newly-designed 16-inch alloy wheels, new LED signatures for taillamps and a new Sunrise Cooper colour scheme.
The subcompact SUV has dual-tone copper and black dashboard, seat upholstery and door pads. The textured panels on the door pads, new four colour ambient lighting on the dashboard and door pads and dual tone leatherette upholstery add more to its new appearance.
The updated Magnite also gets an updated 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster featuring revised graphics, new Type-C charging ports, auto dimming IRVMs, new auto headlamps, a new key fob with remote start and six airbags as standard.
