Nissan Magnite 1.0-litre Turbo-petrol Automatic Fuel Efficiency: Claimed vs Real

Nissan entered the crowded sub-4m SUV space in December 2020 and set a benchmark in terms of affordability. With a sub-Rs 5 lakh starting price, the Magnite is not only cheaper than all its segment rivals, but also a few sedans falling under the same length criterion. It is a petrol-only offering available with either a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine or a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit. While a 5-speed manual transmission is standard for both engines, the latter is offered with an optional CVT as well. We took the Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT for our fuel efficiency test and here’s what the numbers revealed:

While the CVT-equipped Magnite fell short of the ARAI-claimed figure in city conditions by delivering only 13.6kmpl, it surpassed the claimed figure by more than 0.5kmpl on the highway.

Let’s see how it would have performed in mixed driving scenarios based on our recorded mileage:

For those who use the Nissan sub-4m SUV primarily in the city, expect the Magnite to return a mileage of around 14.5kmpl. However, if your daily travel involves driving on wide and open stretches of roads, the Magnite could deliver a mileage of around 17kmpl. If you are someone who uses the SUV equally between the city and highways, expect an average fuel efficiency of 15kmpl.
