Nissan Motor India (NMIPL) has announced the pre-bookings for the Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift (Automated Manual Transmission) at an aggressive introductory price of ₹6,49,900, valid until 10th November. This move positions the Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift as the most accessible and affordable AMT in the SUV, sedan, and hatchback segments.
Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift
The Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift is a game-changer for accessible convenience, offering customers a 5-speed Automated Manual Transmission that delivers an easy and clutch-less driving experience. Branded as ‘EZ-Shift’ (Easy, Economical, Exciting), this transmission optimizes gear shifts based on driving conditions, enhancing fuel efficiency. ARAI certified fuel efficiency stands at 19.70 kmpl for the EZ-Shift variant.
The EZ-Shift gearbox includes Dual Driving Mode, allowing drivers to switch between automatic and manual modes, and the Intelligent Creep function for smooth traffic navigation. Anti-stall and kick-down features add to the driving experience.
Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift Variants
Available in XE, XL, XV, XV Premium variants, as well as the Nissan Magnite KURO Special Edition, the Magnite EZ-Shift expands the Nissan Magnite family to four powertrain options. It comes standard with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Hill Start Assist (HSA) for added safety on hilly terrain. With this introduction, the Nissan Magnite family offers both Manual and EZ-Shift in 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine options, in addition to Manual and CVT in 1.0-litre Turbo engine variant.
New Colour
Adding style options, Nissan introduces a dual-tone Blue and Black color scheme for the EZ-Shift variants, along with a new Vivid Blue color with a Black dual-tone roof. The EZ-Shift is also available for the recently launched Magnite KURO Special Edition.
Pre-bookings for the Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift are now open across Nissan dealerships nationwide and on Nissan’s website.
Our Thoughts
The launch of the Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift at such a competitive introductory price is a noteworthy move by Nissan. With its focus on accessibility, efficiency, and convenience, this AMT-equipped variant of the Magnite aims to cater to a broader audience in India’s highly competitive automotive market. Its expanded availability across variants and the inclusion of safety features like VDC and HSA make it a compelling choice. The added style options and compatibility with the recently launched KURO Special Edition further enhance its appeal. Nissan’s strategic pricing could potentially disrupt the subcompact SUV segment and attract more customers to the brand.
