Takeaways: – 

  • Since the Magnite is only available with petrol engines, hence we’ve only compared the petrol trims. 
  • The Tech Package available with the Nissan's offering is a bunch of dealer specific accessories that include wireless charging pad, air purifier, ambient lighting, welcome puddle lamp and a premium JBL sound system. This pack is priced at Rs 38,698 and is only available from the XV variant onwards.

  • The Toyota Urban Cruiser and Honda WR-V have the highest base price in this segment as both these cars come better equipped than the base & mid variants of most of their rivals. 
  • As far as the turbocharged models are concerned, the Magnite continues to be the most affordable option and quite a par with the Nexon's base trim. Magnite's top-line turbo variant also undercut all its competitors by a huge margin.
  • With the choice of an automatic gearbox, the Magnite is once again the most affordable option here undercutting the Tata Nexon by Rs 56,000 that comes with AMT, which is not even a true automatic transmission.
  • It is important to note that the Magnite's Naturally Aspirated 1.0-litre engine is the least powerful (72PS) powertrain here, whereas the Ford EcoSport offers the maximum power (122PS) among all.

  • The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Toyota Urban Cruiser get a 4-speed and Ford EcoSport gets a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission choices, while Tata Nexon gets a 6-speed AMT.
