Nissan Magnite CNG launched
Nissan recently introduced the CNG-powered version of the Magnite in the Indian market. It is priced at ₹6.89 lakh ex-showroom. In contrast to numerous competitors that provide factory-installed CNG kits, the Magnite CNG features a dealer-level retrofit, indicating that the CNG kit is fitted at authorized centers after the vehicle has departed from the factory. This method presents customers with a more adaptable and economical option for transitioning to cleaner fuel, appealing to environmentally aware consumers.

The CNG kit installed in the Magnite is designed, produced, and quality-checked by Motozen, an external supplier. It features a 12 kg single-cylinder configuration and is fitted at government-approved installation centers. Motozen offers warranty protection for the components of the CNG kit, while Nissan maintains its standard warranty of three years or 100,000 kilometers on the vehicle, even after the retrofit.:
