Q. How is the performance of this car?

Nissan offers the Magnite with two petrol engine options: a 72PS 1.0-litre naturally aspirated unit and a 100PS 1.0-litre turbo-petrol motor. The naturally aspirated engine is the ideal choice for those looking for a no-nonsense car that gradually builds speed and drives in a calm manner. As for the turbo-petrol engine, the motor does feel a whole lot more refined than the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine. However, if you were expecting to be pinned to your seat, grinning ear to ear driving the turbo, maybe temper those expectations. What you have instead is a versatile engine that’s tuned to make commutes and road trips easier. The turbo kicks in gently and acceleration then on is brisk. In fact, even when the turbo isn’t in play the Magnite doesn’t beg for a downshift. What could take a bite out of the happiness, though, is the heavy-ish clutch and the notchy gear shifts. And that’s why we can’t help but choose the CVT over the manual. It’s down on torque compared to the manual — 152Nm vs 160Nm — but it’s so much easier to drive. As you’d expect from a CVT, it’s buttery smooth practically everywhere. For a better understanding of performance and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride.
