Nissan Magnite Goes CNG, But There’s A Catch

Back in February 2025, Renault introduced the Kiger and its other models with a CNG option, and now, Nissan has also launched the Magnite with the same powertrain option. Like the Kiger, the Nissan Magnite doesn’t get a factory-fitted CNG kit. Instead, it will be retrofitted at authorised dealerships.

  • Nissan has offered the CNG option across all naturally aspirated petrol-manual variants of the Magnite. It will cost Rs 75,000 extra over their standard counterparts.
  • As of now, the CNG kit option is available only in the states of Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka. However, Nissan has confirmed that the CNG retrofitments will soon be expanded to other states as well.

Nissan Magnite CNG Powertrain

For those unaware, Nissan offers the Magnite with two engines: a 1-litre naturally aspirated petrol and a 1-litre turbocharged petrol. However, the CNG option is only available with the naturally aspirated engine option. While Nissan has yet to share the technical specifications of the CNG version, it is expected to be slightly lower compared to its non-CNG counterpart.

Nissan Magnite CNG Features and Safety

Since the CNG kit will be a retrofitted offering, it will retain all the features of the regular version. The key highlights include LED projector headlamps, alloy wheels, keyless entry with push button start/stop, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 6-speaker Arkamys-tuned sound system, a wireless phone charger, a 7-inch digital driver display, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering, leatherette upholstery, cooled glovebox, ambient lighting, auto AC with rear vents, height-adjustable driver’s seat, an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror (IRVM), powered side mirrors, front & rear armrest, adjustable headrests, rear wiper & washer, rear defogger, and more.

Its safety kit includes six airbags (as standard), hill start assist, traction control, a tyre pressure monitoring system, ISOFIX anchors, rear parking sensors and a 360-degree camera.

Competitors

The Nissan Magnite locks horns with the Renault Kiger, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, and Mahindra XUV 3XO. Out of these, only the Tata Nexon and Maruti Brezza come with a factory-fitted CNG kit.
