Thanks @akg for the inputs. How has the service experience been?

[akg7091]

Service experience has been below expectations and nothing to write home about. Buy a maruti is what I tell my friends !

I booked a CVT top end today. Promised delivery in 2 months approx. As regards ride quality, I did not feel the stiffness in the TD car. Has Nissan done any change to the suspension set up post launch of the car? At 2 pm today, when I was taking the test drive, the AC felt little inadequate. Had there any problem in the car or the AC is weaker in Magnite?

Also dash board & front door had rattling sound. The TD car had done just 10k on odo. Is rattling a problem in the car?

I could not test the headlights. From reviews I understand, it is sufficient. What's the feedback of owners from night driving?

Thanks

I have also checked using the full tank method for the 2 road trips and it was between 13-14 both times.

I have another trip planned next weekend... will keep the forum updated..

The FE of 13-14 on highways mostly seems to be quite low. What was the driving pattern & load in the car?

Magnite CVT + ACC = headaches.

AC turn offs on its own in crawling traffic. Nissan service centres have no clue why this happens and no fix.

Do go to the service area and talk to an existing owner.

I haven't observed this with the AC on my Magnite (CVT-Turbo-Pre), AC seems to work quite well, I also keep it at around 22-26 deg C most of the time in Mumbai. I guess in the month May, when summer peaks will be the real test of the ACC.

I too booked the xv prem cvt on 8th april and was promised delivery by 5th may ( my parents 50th anniversary) by autorelli nissan kolkata.

Yesterday when i called them to check on status i was subjected to a shock. We had asked for the brown colour and there was no news on its dispatch from factory.
On the top of that the dealer claims that the on road cost of the car has been increased by Rs40k effective 27th april. the ex shiwroom now crosses over 10lac and on road 11.5L . Is there same issues being faced in other cities too? Or is this some game by the autorelli dealer in kolkata need to check.
With 3 stupid features getting added shark fin antenna , dual horn and a AC filter? I didnt know ACs come with out filter?
Still cant believe it and seriously considering cancelling the booking. Kiger seems to be a better option now.

I thought nissan is banking on magnite but a 4% increase in cost in a month doesnt seem they are serious. Such stupid actions makes me reconsider the future serviceability from the company since i will be holding on to this car for more than 10 years.

Requesting fellow bhpians to guide me with your wisdom on how should i approach this problem. Should i consider kiger? My budget is 11lac max on road and no AMTs

Yes it's true. The new ex-showroom for XV CVT Pre is 10,20,000.

We had booked magnite on last Friday and were delighted that we were getting the color/variant (XV CVT) by next thursday. However the price hike was a bummer, with the price hike, this variant has come close to HTK+ iMT Sonet. Don't know what to do

I just called my dealer & got to know that ex-showroom of CVT Prem is now 10.20 lacs, up from earlier 9.99 lacs. He said this is 2nd price hike in April-22. I have decided to cancel the booking.

I had test driven Kiger turbo manual before booking Magnite. I did not like the look of the car. Also the NVH of Kiger was inferior to Magnite. CVT TD of Kiger is not available. Is the top end ex-showroom of Kiger below 10 lacs? If you have test driven Kiger CVT, please share your experience.

Thanks

I had never considered Sonet thinking it is beyond my budget. If you are saying Magnite cvt now close to iMT i think i need to dig into details. Do you have any handy e broch and price list for Sonet?

Yes it is 2nd hike in a month and that shows the mad mind. I was very skeptical on brand Nissan and the only reason i got driven towards it was value for money in cvt prem. Now that its gone why not look at others? This is the only model success they have got and if the usp is gone i dont want to take a long term risk in this brand.

I have asked for Kiger TD. Probably today evening or tomorrow it will come. Understand the magnite engine is originally Renault. So guess the magnite smooth cvt exp will remain in kiger if not better. Let me also check the features and feel aspects of Kiger.
After magnite price increase , Kiger RXZ turbo cvt is cheaper by 5k exshowroom and 10k+ cheaper on road on same comparison.
But servicability of renault is better than nissan i hear.

I dont see a dedicated thread on kiger in teambhp. Will surely appreciate more inputs if similiar dilema faced by others on kiger vs magnite

How would you drive an automatic which does not have hill hold.. I heard Kiger does not have hill hold and ESP

You would have use your handbrake and lower gear ratios (L), to ensure you have enough power when starting up a hill.

Hmm..like AMT.. this is why I avoided nexon and kiger.. Can't do this when someone is just inches behind you in incline
