Nexon does have hill hold assist from the base models.!!
Just to quote , Nissan also has an"active engine braking" technology coupled to its CVT engines from way back in time. Guess it will help in hill descent and turns to some extent in both magnite and kiger as well.
Am Still to experience this though!
Awaiting delivery soon @Nissan!!

Have you test driven the Kiger CVT. If yes, please share your experience. If CVT/engine performance is same as Magnite & if the ride quality is better than Magnite ( I feel it should- but I could not test that since I drove the Kiger on smooth tarmac), then Kiger is worth considering.
Thanks

Yes, nexon has hill hold. But it's as jittery as it's AMT. Lack of hill hold in Kiger drove me towards magnite, though have doubts about Nissan's survival.

Kiger CVT was not available for TD here at Kolkata. They got me an MT for a look around. The interiors are much better in Magnite and I didnt like the exterior looks of Kiger (though subjective).

What put me off more was the push for immediate booking being close to april end. The driver did not even get down once for me to sit in the drivers seat and have a feel. The car was dirty and smelly. Overall the customer orientation with Nissan was much better and hence I dropped the plan for Kiger.

In the meantime recieved a call yesterday from Autorelli Kolkata nissan dealer that there is a blue white DT CVT XV prem available booked by someone else who does not want it now. So I grabbed the opportunity and my car will be delivered on friday

Note: as per dealer, XV and XV prem deliveries are getting affected due to chips shortages again. These 2 variants needs more chips.

Though the brown colour booked earlier was my favourite nonetheless the blue white DT was my 2nd choice which the dealer was not aware.

The dealer made it sweeter with some dealer discount and also the car is from the earlier lot before price increase. So overall I am happy and now getting ready to welcome home our next sweetheart

Are they ready to give it at the old price?

Please reconfirm on the price applicability (new vs old) with the dealer. The pricing is generally applicable on the day of invoice.

If the car was billed to the dealer in the earlier model then it will be in the old price only. The easy way to detect this is to check the rear antenna. For the increased price version i am told it is shark fin antenna.

I got the earlier model (which also happens to be April make ) hence old price.

Got the delivery of the car on Friday and within 48 hours faced an issue with the steering control switches. They sometime work and sometime doesnt.
Today visited the ASS and they confirmed there is some problem and offered to change the entire steering wheel.

A bit sad with this unfortunate incident.

Can my learned friends here guide me what should be done in such situation? I have come back home with the car as of now

Congratulations! Buying a new car is a big milestone in one's life. Sorry, to hear about your troubles. IMO you should get the steering column replaced at the dealer workshop but at the same time inform Nissan India in writing about this manufacturing defect.

Happy driving!

Did anyone (Magnite owners) buy 3D mats for the car ?

[dilsoft]

Do we need to switch off A/C whenever we need some power in Nissan 1L turbo AT ? just like we do it in other 1 L engine cars ? Someone pls let me know. I am planning to book this.

My 1 week experience says its not required. I keep AC at 27degC in auto mode. A little power needed to manouver traffic in city is taken care by the extent of accelerator depression.

Need some help from Magnite owners in the forum.
I am a bit confused with the driving modes in my turbo cvt.
1. Total how many modes? ( like normal/ eco/ sport ...)
2. How to switch ON or OFF or change between modes?

3. The display shows an eco mode. Is the eco mode activated only when the display is tapped to eco and the screen remains there?

Thanks in advance to my friends here...

It doesn't come with official modes like its cousin (Kiger).
I does have a sports button near the gear level (locks RPM to 2000).

Eco I believe is just normal mode (gamified) giving you details like driving efficiency etc.

There is no Drive modes in Magnite except the Sport mode in XV & XV PRE CVT variants. When you start the car, it shows a message "ECO Mode Turned Off" in the infotainment system - but there is no option to turn it on or off by ourselves. Guess it is for Kiger as both the cars use the same infotainment system and they did not bother to customize the software for Magnite.
