What’s New?
Up until now, the Magnite’s 1-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine was available with the CNG option in manual variants only; however, Nissan has now extended it to the EZ-Shift AMT variants as well. Notably, these factory-approved kits will be fit at the dealer level and can be opted for with any variants equipped with this engine.
Furthermore, for better safety, all new Magnites equipped with the CNG bi-fuel option will also have the fuel inlet placed inside the fuel lid for a safer and cleaner integration. Nissan is offering a warranty of 3 years or 1,00,000km(whichever comes first) on these CNG kits.
Besides this, Nissan has not made any other changes under the hood. While the carmaker has not declared the performance figures of the CNG-equipped version, the naturally aspirated petrol version makes 72 PS of power and 96 Nm of torque and comes paired to 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT automatic transmissions. It also gets a 1-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to 5-speed manual and CVT automatic transmission options. Here are detailed specifications of both engines:
