Nissan Magnite GNCAP safety rating updated to 5 stars. Here's how and why…
Nissan responded quickly to this change by upgrading the vehicle's safety features. Major additions include six standard airbags, covering front, side, and curtain positions, as well as ESC and better occupant restraint systems. Additional safety improvements involve 3-point seatbelts for all seats and structural modifications to enhance side impact protection. These updates raised the Magnite's score to 32.31 out of 34 for adult safety, making it one of the safest models in its class.
In child safety, the Magnite also improved, earning 3 stars with a score of 33. 64 out of 49. It provides good protection for child seat installations, though there are still opportunities to improve ISOFIX availability and support for various child restraint systems. The vehicle also complies with pedestrian safety standards and other key safety benchmarks, aligning with Global NCAP's Safer Cars for Africa and India initiatives.
This milestone is especially notable as the Magnite is the first vehicle tested under the current Global NCAP protocols in South Africa to achieve a 5-star adult safety rating. It also demonstrates Nissan's commitment to improving vehicle safety in emerging markets.
Regarding pricing, the Nissan Magnite is currently available in a range between ₹ 6.14 lakh and ₹ 11.76 lakh, both ex-showroom.
Nissan India also introduced a CNG-powered version of the Magnite, priced at ₹ 6.89 lakh ex-showroom. Unlike many competitors that come with factory-installed CNG kits, the Magnite's CNG system is added at dealerships after manufacturing but through authorised channels.
The system, developed by third-party supplier Motozen, includes a single 12 kg cylinder and is installed at government-certified centres. Motozen provides a warranty for the CNG components, while Nissan maintains its standard vehicle warranty of three years or 1 lakh kilometres, even with the after-sales CNG installation.

Explained: Why the Renault Triber does not get a turbo petrol engine
Renault India recently introduced the Triber facelift, bringing comprehensive upgrades to the subcompact SUV. Potential buyers were anticipating a more powerful turbo petrol engine for the Triber this time. However, Renault did not bring any mechanical upgrades to the car, and it now appears the Triber won't be getting one either. Potential buyers were anticipating a more powerful turbo petrol engine on the Renault Triber facelift. However, there are no mechanical upgrades to the car, and it now appears the Triber won't be getting one either. Why The Renault Triber Does Not Get A Turbo Petrol Engine Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the Renault Triber facelift launch, Venkatram Mamillapalle, Managing Director, Renault India, explained why the Triber can't have the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine from the Kiger. Turns out the engine bay on the Triber has been designed to be compact enough to accommodate the smallest engine possible. This was done specifically to maximise cabin space, which is the USP of the vehicle.

Renault does offer a more powerful turbo petrol unit on the Kiger SUV The Renault Triber is the only three-row offering in the sub-4-metre segment, and to achieve the same, the automaker had to resort to clever engineering to ensure a larger cabin. In order to accommodate a turbo petrol motor, Renault will have to redesign the engine bay, compromising on cabin space, negating the whole point of the subcompact MPV. The cost of re-engineering the engine bay and homologating the same would be another deterrent for Renault India, given the Triber's cost-conscious pricing. For those expecting a more powerful Triber, this would be disappointing news. The power from the motor has been the Achilles heel of the MPV, especially with the AMT unit. However, most buyers looking at the Triber prioritise space and the extra seats over performance. The model gets generous legroom in the second row, thanks to its tall stance, while the third row is best suited for children. Moreover, the third row seats are completely removable, liberating a massive boot capacity of 625 litres, which can be further expanded with the foldable second row. The Renault Triber facelift gets a redesigned front as well as rear, along with a host of new features 2025 Renault Triber Facelift: What's New The 2025 Renault Triber facelift has received extensive changes. This includes the restyled front and rear sporting a new grille, LED headlamps with DRLs, new bumpers, and a new taillight cluster.

Nissan Magnite GNCAP safety rating updated to 5 stars. Here's how and why…
The Nissan Magnite has received a new and boosted safety rating, earning a full 5-star score for adult occupant protection in the latest Global NCAP crash tests. This improvement follows several safety updates made by Nissan in response to earlier results. Initially, the Magnite received just 2 stars for both adult and child occupant safety under the updated testing protocols, which assess frontal and side impacts, electronic stability control (ESC), pedestrian safety, and seatbelt reminders. Nissan responded quickly to this change by upgrading the vehicle's safety features. Major additions include six standard airbags, covering front, side, and curtain positions, as well as ESC and better occupant restraint systems. Additional safety improvements involve 3-point seatbelts for all seats and structural modifications to enhance side impact protection. These updates raised the Magnite's score to 32.31 out of 34 for adult safety, making it one of the safest models in its class.
