Which Nissan Magnite variant should you buy?
Best value for money: Tekna, at ₹58,000 over the Kuro Special Edition. No other step you pay for is better value for money on the price list.
Above that there is one upgrade left, Tekna+, at ₹33,000 over Tekna. Nothing sits above it to weigh it against, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

Why some steps are not ranked
What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. Kuro Special Edition to Tekna asks the least money for each feature it adds on the price list, and that holds once road tax is counted too, in all 25 of the states we can price this ladder in.
Why the road could have changed this, and did not
Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.
Take the badged step, Kuro Special Edition to Tekna: ₹58,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹59,740 to ₹67,013 on the road. Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest, and Karnataka comes out highest, across the 25 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.
In each of those states we ranked the 5 steps that keep the same engine and gearbox again, and the order came back the same every time. So the badge above is safe to act on wherever you buy the car.
Where the features that matter land
- Airbags
- All 6 are standard from the base Visia, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety features
- Tekna, from ₹8.43L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best.
The good news

- Airbags
- Every Magnite has 6 or more airbags, the base Visia included, so there is no step to pay for.
- 360° camera

- You need the Tekna, from ₹8.43L, for cruise control: ₹2.74L over where the Magnite opens.
No Magnite has ADAS, a sunroof or ventilated seats at any price, on any trim.
Then there is the engine

| Petrol72 PS | Visia₹5.69L | 5-speed manual | 19.4 km/l |
| Turbo Petrol100 PS | N-Connecta₹8.81L | 5-speed manual | 19.9 km/l |
