Nissan Magnite AMT With Best CNG Option Launched In India

Nissan India has introduced a factory‑approved CNG retrofit kit for the Magnite with AMT (EZ‑Shift).The CNG kit is available for the 1.0‑litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with AMT.
The kit is fitted via authorised Nissan centres. Warranty for the Best CNG kit is 3 years or 1,00,000 km. Nissan Magnite AMT With Best CNG Option Launched In India

There’s a newer design for the fuel lid: the CNG filling valve is now integrated inside the normal fuel‑filling lid. That makes refueling more convenient and less messy.

Pros (What you gain)

1. Fuel Cost Savings ‒ CNG is significantly cheaper per km than petrol. If you drive a lot, this can lead to big savings.

2. Lower running cost ‒ Less fuel cost, typically lower maintenance costs for fuel-side (though you must maintain CNG system well).

3. Environmental benefit ‒ Lower emissions with CNG. Nissan Magnite AMT With Best CNG Option Launched In India

4. Warranty & Certified Kit ‒ Since the kit is government‑approved, installed at dealer centres, and has warranty, reliability is better than random aftermarket kits.

5. Convenience Improvements ‒ The integrated fuel lid with CNG valve is a good design improvement. No need to open bonnet each time. Gaadibaaz

Is it a good deal?

It depends on your usage pattern. Here are some rough guidelines:

• If you do high annual kilometers (say 15,000‑25,000 km/year or more), then the savings on fuel can justify the extra cost in ~1.5‑2 years.

• If mostly city driving, where petrol costs are high per km, benefit is higher. Nissan Magnite AMT With Best CNG Option Launched In India

• If you rarely drive or mostly short trips, the benefit is less. Also, if your area has few CNG stations, the inconvenience may offset savings.

Cons / Things to consider

1. Reduced Performance ‒ Naturally aspirated 1.0L + CNG + AMT = performance will be modest, especially on inclines or when fully loaded. If you often drive on highways or steep roads, this may feel underpowered. Nissan Magnite AMT With Best CNG Option Launched In India

2. Initial Cost ‒ Although the kit cost is not huge, it adds to the purchase cost. Need to calculate how long it will take to recover the cost via savings.

3. Refuelling Infrastructure ‒ CNG stations are not everywhere. In some places, they are sparse. Check in Patna / on your regular routes if there are enough CNG refilling stations.

4. Boot/Space & Weight ‒ The CNG cylinder takes space and adds weight, may reduce boot space somewhat or affect load capacity.

5. Resale / Long Term ‒ While certified kits are better, resale value might be impacted if the buyer is unsure about CNG kit condition. Also, servicing / parts for the CNG kit (valve, regulators, etc.) need attention.

6. Maintenance & Safety ‒ Must ensure authorised servicing for the CNG system. Safety inspection, leak checks, etc.
