Nissan Magnite EZ Shift launched today at INR 6,49,900 lakh; India's most affordable AMT SUV

The normally aspirated 1.0-liter, 3-cylinder petrol engine is the only one that supports the EZ Shift 5-speed AMT transmission option, however. The Magnite already has the option of a more expensive CVT transmission in its higher trims, thus it does not come with the Turbo engine option. The cost-effective EZ Shift AMT's standout features include a second manual drive mode, clever creep, and more.

Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift Specs

However, only the naturally aspirated 1.0-liter, 3-cylinder petrol engine option is offered with the EZ Shift 5-speed AMT transmission option. The Magnite already has the option of a more expensive CVT transmission in its higher trims, thus it does not come with the Turbo engine option. An additional manual driving mode, an intelligent creep function for congested areas, an anti-stall feature, and a kick-down feature are some of the standout features of the cost-effective EZ Shift AMT.

Prices for the XE, XL, XV, and XV Premium variants with the EZ Shift will be released at a later time, although it is anticipated that the Magnite AMT will be significantly less expensive than its rivals in higher variants as well. Moreover, the AMT gearbox will be an option for the recently released, all-black Magnite Kuro Edition.
