If you’re someone who loves saving fuel but doesn’t want the stress of gear shifting in traffic, Nissan just made your life easier! The much-loved Nissan Magnite CNG now comes with an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) option — a combination that brings both fuel efficiency and driving comfort in one compact SUV.
Let’s see what makes this new version so exciting and why it might be the right car for you.
What’s New in Nissan Magnite CNG with AMT?
The Nissan Magnite has already earned a name for itself as a stylish and budget-friendly SUV. With the new CNG + AMT setup, Nissan takes a big step toward comfort and eco-friendly driving.
Earlier, the Magnite CNG was available only with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Now, Nissan has added a 5-speed AMT transmission, making it the first compact SUV in India to offer a CNG engine with automatic convenience.
This means you get the same great mileage of CNG and easy driving without constantly pressing the clutch or changing gears — perfect for city traffic!
Engine and Performance Details
The new Nissan Magnite CNG with AMT uses the same 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine, which now supports a factory-fitted CNG kit.
When running on CNG, the car produces around 57 kW (77 PS) of power and 97 Nm of torque. While that’s slightly lower than the petrol version, the mileage makes up for it completely.
According to Nissan, the new Magnite CNG-AMT delivers an excellent fuel efficiency of around 25 km/kg (expected figure). That’s a big plus for people who drive daily and want to save money on fuel.
Note: These numbers can vary depending on driving style and city conditions.
Why This Launch Matters for You
The Indian car market is changing fast. With petrol and diesel prices rising, many people are shifting to CNG cars for better savings and lower emissions. However, most CNG cars until now came with manual gearboxes, which can be tiring to drive in busy city traffic.
By offering CNG with an AMT option, Nissan gives drivers the best of both worlds — fuel savings and effortless driving. It’s an ideal choice for those who want comfort and economy without compromising on looks or performance.
Features and Comfort
The new Nissan Magnite CNG AMT will be available in two trims — XV and XV Premium. Here are some of the features that make it stand out:
- Dual 10-litre CNG tanks for balanced weight and longer range
- Push-button start/stop
- Touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Automatic climate control
- Rear parking camera & sensors
- Dual airbags and ABS with EBD
- LED headlamps and stylish 16-inch alloy wheels
Remember: You get all these features without losing boot space, thanks to Nissan’s clever CNG tank placement design.
Mileage and Cost Savings
If you drive around 40–50 km daily, you can save up to ₹5,000 per month compared to petrol, depending on local CNG prices.
So, if your main concern is fuel cost, the Magnite CNG AMT gives you long-term savings while keeping your drive smooth and stress-free.
Tip: Always refuel at trusted CNG stations and check for proper pressure levels to maintain engine health.
Safety and Environmental Impact
CNG cars are not just about saving money — they’re also better for the planet. The Nissan Magnite CNG emits less CO₂ compared to petrol cars, helping reduce air pollution.
Nissan has used high-strength CNG kits that meet all government safety norms, and the car comes with leak detection sensors to ensure safety while driving.
“The new Magnite CNG-AMT is designed for modern India — efficient, comfortable, and environmentally friendly,” said a Nissan India spokesperson.
Pricing and Availability
The new Nissan Magnite CNG with AMT is priced between ₹8.50 lakh and ₹9.90 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the variant.
This makes it one of the most affordable CNG automatic SUVs in India.
Bookings are already open across all Nissan dealerships and online platforms. You can even book it from your phone on Nissan’s official website.

However, none of these currently offer an AMT transmission, giving Nissan a first-mover advantage in the compact SUV market.
So if you’ve been waiting for a car that’s easy to drive, efficient to run, and stylish to own — the Nissan Magnite CNG AMT could be your perfect pick in 2025.
