Nissan Magnite

62% Match

The Magnite edges ahead thanks to its 5-star Global NCAP rating, 6-speed-equivalent practicality with a bigger footprint, and a lower ex-showroom price by roughly ₹15,600. The Exter counters with a punchier 1.2L 4-cylinder engine, more boot space, and slightly better ergonomic seat adjustment, but its untested crash rating and lack of TPMS hold it back for safety-conscious buyers.
