Nissan India has expanded the Magnite lineup with a major update that will surely please budget-conscious and eco-friendly buyers. The Nissan Magnite CNG can now be equipped with both manual and AMT gearbox options, making it one of the few compact SUVs in India to offer an automatic CNG combination.
In addition, thanks to the recent GST 2.0 revisions, the cost of retro-fitting the CNG kit has dropped by about ₹3,000, making the upgrade more affordable than before. Let’s look into all the details — prices, warranty, variants, and what’s new.
CNG Kit
The retro-fit CNG kit for the Magnite is now available for all variants of the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which produces 72hp. Customers can now choose to fit this factory-backed CNG kit directly through Nissan’s authorised dealerships.
The kit, which previously cost ₹75,000, has now been reduced to ₹72,000, thanks to the revised GST rates. Nissan has integrated the CNG filling valve within the standard fuel lid, unlike older setups where refuelling required access through the engine bay — a practical and much cleaner design choice.
| Item | Old Cost | New Cost | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNG Kit (Retro-fit) | ₹75,000 | ₹72,000 | ₹3,000 cheaper |
This price cut makes the Magnite CNG a more attractive choice for those seeking better fuel economy without compromising on convenience.
Variants
The Nissan Magnite CNG is now available across 11 variants, with both Manual (MT) and AMT gearbox options. The lineup starts at ₹6.34 lakh and goes up to ₹9.70 lakh (ex-showroom).
Here’s the full price list:
| Variant | MT Price (₹ lakh) | AMT Price (₹ lakh) |
|---|---|---|
| Visia | 6.34 | 6.89 |
| Visia+ | 6.79 | – |
| Acenta | 7.39 | 7.89 |
| N-Connecta | 8.01 | 8.51 |
| Tekna | 8.88 | 9.38 |
| Tekna+ | 9.20 | 9.70 |
The top-end Tekna+ variant comes loaded with all premium features and is available with both transmissions, offering a wide range of options for CNG buyers.
Warranty
To ensure peace of mind, Nissan is offering a 3-year / 1 lakh km warranty with every Magnite CNG. This covers both the standard components and the CNG system, ensuring buyers don’t have to worry about long-term reliability or maintenance issues.
Engine
Under the hood, the Magnite CNG continues to use the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 72hp and 96Nm of torque in petrol mode. The addition of CNG slightly alters the performance but greatly improves efficiency, making it ideal for daily city use.
The biggest update here is the availability of the AMT gearbox with the CNG setup. This makes the Magnite CNG one of the few subcompact SUVs in India to offer an automatic transmission with CNG, giving buyers the convenience of an auto gearbox with the running cost of a CNG car.
Design
Nissan has made thoughtful updates to improve usability. The integration of the CNG filling valve inside the regular fuel lid ensures a cleaner look and easier refuelling. The boot space remains practical, as the CNG tank is neatly fitted to minimize intrusion.
Buyers also benefit from Nissan’s high safety standards, as the Magnite continues to offer features like dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and a strong body structure that complies with the latest safety norms.
Market Position
With the new AMT CNG combination and the revised CNG kit pricing, the Nissan Magnite now stands out as one of the most versatile options in the compact SUV category. It competes directly with models like the Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG and Tata Nexon CNG (upcoming), offering an appealing mix of affordability, practicality, and technology.
For city commuters and long-distance drivers looking for low running costs, this updated Magnite lineup is a win-win package — efficient, stylish, and easy to drive.
