Nissan Magnite CNG Now Available With Automatic Transmission : Price, Features & Retrofit Kit Update
2 min read
Nissan India has expanded its popular CNG offering on the Magnite compact SUV to include both manual and AMT (EZ-Shift) versions. The move follows strong demand and comes with improvements to pricing, convenience, and warranty coverage — making the Magnite CNG a more attractive proposition for buyers seeking value, lower running costs, and everyday usability.
What’s New with the Magnite CNG Program
- All 72 hp 1.0-litre naturally aspirated variants of the Magnite can now be fitted with a factory-approved retrofit CNG kit, whether they use the manual gearbox or AMT.
- The retrofitment kit cost has dropped by about ₹3,000 thanks to the recent GST 2.0 revision, bringing the price of the kit to ₹71,999 (MRP).
- The filling valve for CNG has been relocated from the engine bay to the existing fuel lid, offering easier and more ergonomic refuelling.
Warranty & Regional Availability
- Nissan now backs the CNG retrofitment with a 3-year or 1,00,000 km warranty, ensuring peace of mind with usage over time.
- The program covers many states across India, with authorised retrofit centres handling installation.
Price Spread and Variant Options
Magnite CNG is offered across 11 variants, spanning from base manual trims to more premium ones. The ex-showroom price range is ₹6.34 lakh to ₹9.70 lakh, with both manual and AMT options.
| Variant | Manual Price (CNG) | AMT Price (CNG) |
|---|---|---|
| Visia | ₹6.34 lakh | ₹6.89 lakh |
| Visia+ | ₹6.79 lakh | — |
| Acenta | ₹7.39 lakh | ₹7.89 lakh |
| N-Connecta | ₹8.01 lakh | ₹8.51 lakh |
| Tekna | ₹8.88 lakh | ₹9.38 lakh |
| Tekna+ | ₹9.20 lakh | ₹9.70 lakh |
The Magnite CNG has now become one of the few compact SUVs in India to offer factory-approved CNG for both manual and AMT variants. The combined advantages — GST-led cost reduction, improved kit price, ergonomic refuelling setup, and extended warranty — enhance its appeal significantly in a market that increasingly values fuel economy and lower running costs.
Moreover, the repositioned fuel lid cap for the CNG fill underscores Nissan’s attempt to smooth everyday usability frustrations associated with retrofit installations.
Performance & Safety
- The CNG kit is developed by Motozen Fuel Systems and complies with safety and emissions standards, ensuring reliability.
- The standard safety package for Magnite remains intact: six airbags, robust build, and high GNCAP ratings for adult occupant protection.
Verdict
For buyers who commute daily, use their car frequently, or who place economy and convenience high on their priority list, the Magnite CNG (manual or AMT) now hits a sweet-spot. It balances cost of ownership, usability, and quality in a compact SUV shell.
If considering a budget for your next car, the ₹6.34-₹9.70 lakh CNG price band, combined with lower running costs and improved comfort, makes Magnite a strong contender.
