Nissan South Africa has updated its small crossover Magnite range with the addition of the new Magnite Non-Turbo EZ-Shift (2 Pedal “AMT”) with three grades to supplement the rest of the range.
What’s new?
The new model is set with an automated manual transmission (AMT), offering a smooth and comfortable drive.
Drivetrain:
The newer budget models each has a naturally aspirated engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The new 5-speed AMT introduced will bridge the gap between the manual and continuously variable transmission (CVT) variants.
The new Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift is the most affordable 2-Pedal SUV in the market and comes with the 1.0-litre non-turbo engine and Automated Manual Transmission with almost similar features to that of the current 1.0L non-Turbo engine grades (Visia, Acenta and Acenta Plus).
Exterior:
The familiar crossover-looking body type remains with the new Magnite EZ-Shift fitted with a 2-tone exterior, chrome door handles for the Acenta grade, and LED lights for the Acenta Plus model, which is a feature-rich premium offering with a more prominent road presence.
Price and range:
The new Magnite EZ-Shift’s prices range from R243 900 for its entry model, the Magnite 1.0 Visia, to R279 900 for the Magnite 1.0 Acenta Plus EZ-Shift, and they are now available.
Electric vehicles (EVs) have introduced a whole new vocabulary into motoring. Instead of simply talking about litres of fuel, cylinders and kilometres per tank, motorists are now confronted with kW, kWh, AC, DC, WLTP, regenerative braking and a host of other terms.
Young South African motorists are increasingly opting for more affordable and practical vehicles as the cost of living puts pressure on household budgets, while still maintaining comprehensive insurance cover.
The row over BMW’s Spider-Man promotion is not really about superheroes. It is about trust, control and the creeping feeling that modern cars are becoming digital platforms first and private possessions second.
