Nissan Magnite now gets factory-approved CNG kit: Launch date, price & state-wise rollout

Nissan India has added another powertrain choice to its popular Magnite SUV by introducing a CNG option. Starting June 1, 2025, buyers can get a government-approved CNG retrofitment kit for the Magnite at an extra cost of Rs 74,999. It is worth noting that the retrofitment will be offered exclusively on the facelifted Magnite, which was launched last year.

The company said that the CNG kit has been developed and quality-assured by Motozen, a third-party manufacturer. While Motozen will provide warranty for the kit components, the installation will be handled by government-authorised fitment centres. Here’s a quick look at the planned rollout, key details and more.
