Nissan's value compact SUV — bold design and smooth CVT at a competitive price
The Nissan Magnite entered a fiercely competitive segment but carved out a space by combining aggressive introductory pricing with a smooth CVT automatic, distinctive styling and reasonable features at a price that undercut many established rivals at launch.
The turbocharged 1.0L engine paired with the CVT offers a smooth, refined driving experience that's particularly welcome in city traffic — the CVT variant in particular stands out as one of the best CVT experiences in this segment for the money.
Nissan's limited service network remains the key consideration before purchase, but for buyers in cities with Nissan presence, the Magnite offers genuine value.
