A new small SUV was seen being tested — is it the Nissan Magnite or a facelift of the Renault Kiger?

Small suv cars:-Both the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger are expected to get a mid-cycle update soon. The Magnite recently got the option for an AMT gearbox with the naturally aspirated petrol engine a few months ago.

The subcompact SUV/crossover segment is a thriving space in the passenger vehicle market with numerous options to consider. As a result, it is one of the most competitive segments in the PV market. In order to stay relevant, OEMs have to constantly update their offerings.

 Small SUV cars was seen, and pictures of it are circulating online. The test vehicle, covered in camouflage, has a red registration plate from Tamil Nadu. We think it might be the updated version of either the Nissan Magnite or the Renault Kiger.

A new sighting of Nissan Magnite or Renault Kiger.

Small SUV cars:-It’s reasonable to think that both companies operate from the same location in Oragadam near Chennai, Tamil Nadu. In fact, both cars are built on the same platform and have many similarities. It’s hard to say for sure which model it is right now. Both of these models are expected to get a mid-cycle update.

Small SUV cars :-Nissan Magnite was released in India in December 2020, followed by the launch of Renault Kiger a month later. Both Kiger and Magnite are considered affordable options in the sub-4 meter SUV category. Kiger’s price ranges from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 11.23 lakh, while Magnite’s price falls between Rs 6 lakh and Rs 11.27 lakh (excluding taxes and fees).

Small SUV cars:-The pictures don’t show many specific details, but we can see modern 5-spoke alloy wheels, a sloping roofline, a spoiler on the roof, and rectangular LED taillights. In terms of specs, both SUVs use the same petrol engine options: a 1.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine. The smaller engine produces 71 horsepower and 96 Nm of torque, while the turbocharged one makes 99 horsepower and 160 Nm of torque (152 Nm with automatic transmission).

Both engine options come with a 5-speed manual transmission as standard, along with the choice of a 5-speed AMT or a CVT automatic. We should learn more about the updated SUV in the next few months.
