Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I'm confused between, Magnite, Kiger, Altroz and Nexon?
  • All the fours cars are good in their forte. The Tata Nexon, with the facelift, has become an even stronger contender. With the revised looks, more powerful engine, and added features, it surely needs to be on the top of your consideration list. Kiger is a practical and balanced family car with just the right amount of frills. An affordable, yet, sensible way to enter the world of mini SUVs. Whereas, while the Altroz does not manage to set a new standard in the segment, it will fit right into the mix with a long feature list, sharp looks, and a comfortable ride. The engine refinement remains to be the major chink in the armour. On the other hand, the Nissan Magnite has a lot of potential as a family car. It’s spacious, practical, well loaded, and considering its aggressive pricing, will be a strong alternative to the low-mid range variants of its popular competitors. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
Q. Which car to choose, Magnite or Altroz?
  • Both the cars are from different segments. Tata Altroz is a hatchback whereas Nissan Magnite is an SUV. While the Altroz does not manage to set a new standard in the segment, it will fit right into the mix with a long feature list, sharp looks, and a comfortable ride. The engine refinement remains to be the major chink in the armour. On the other hand, The Nissan Magnite has a lot of potential as a family car. It’s spacious, practical, well loaded, and considering its aggressive pricing, will be a strong alternative to the low-mid range variants of its popular competitors. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
Q. Is this car worth buying, i'm thinking to buy a automatic vaiant?
  • Yes
  • I've been using Swift for more than ten years and I feel the engine performance (pickup) is very poor compared to swift. It takes longer time to attain reasonable speed to avoide honking by vehicles behind at traffic signals. A slight extra acceleration alerts for over acceleration. Otherwise driving comfort is ok.
  • The Nissan Magnite has a lot of potential as a family car. It’s spacious, practical, well loaded and considering its aggressive pricing, it is a strong alternative to the low-mid range variants of its popular competitors. The Magnite gets two petrol engines a 72PS 1.0-litre naturally aspirated unit and a 100PS 1.0-litre turbo-petrol motor. Both engines are available with a 5-speed manual as standard while the turbo-petrol engine also gets the option of a CVT. As you’d expect from a CVT, it’s buttery smooth practically everywhere. Even under hard acceleration, it does well to ensure the engine doesn’t whine and yell while the speeds play catchup. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive for a better understanding of performance and comfort.
