- Price cuts for turbocharged Magnite variants
- Most aggressive price reduction is R40 800
- Magnite portfolio now tops out at R369 900
Nissan South Africa has announced price cuts for the 4 turbocharged derivatives in its Magnite range, claiming it has aligned its small-crossover portfolio to the needs of “increasingly price-sensitive” local buyers.
While the prices of the 6 naturally aspirated variants (including the Move-badged panel van) are unchanged, the Japanese firm says all 4 turbocharged derivatives have benefitted from a price reduction.
How significant are the Magnite price cuts?
The Magnite 1.0 Turbo Visia 5MT now costs R295 900, representing a price cut of R13 800. The Magnite 1.0 Turbo Acenta 5MT, meanwhile, is now R10 200 more affordable than before, kicking off at R329 900.
In addition, Nissan has lopped R25 600 off the price of the Magnite 1.0 Turbo Acenta CVT (now R344 900) and slashed the price-tag of the flagship Magnite 1.0 Turbo Acenta Plus CVT by a significant R40 800 to R369 900.
What engines are offered in the Magnite?
As a reminder, the facelifted Magnite – which is produced in India – touched down in South Africa in November 2024. A naturally aspirated 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine (offering 53 kW and 96 Nm) serves as the entry-level motor and is available with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or an automated manual transmission (AMT) with the same number of cogs.
The turbocharged version of this mill generates 74 kW, along with 160 Nm when linked to a 5-speed manual gearbox and 152 Nm when mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
How well does the Magnite sell in SA?
South Africa is a key market for the Magnite, since this baby crossover has taken over from the since-discontinued NP200 half-tonne bakkie as Nissan SA’s best-selling product. Year to date at the end of July 2025, as many as 5 047 units (excluding the Move panel van) have been registered in Mzansi.
