The government\u2019s move to reduce tax slabs to 18% GST for small cars and 40% GST for bigger vehicles has caused waves in the product portfolio of all carmakers. For Nissan, whose portfolio in India consists of just one product at the moment, the Magnite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/compact-suv\/\">compact SUV<\/a>, this development is a windfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0Nissan today also announced it would pass the full GST benefit to customers and cut the price of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/used-magnite-cars\/s\/\">Magnite<\/a> by as much as \u20b999,400 for the top variants. The base variant of the Magnite Visia MT now starts at a price of just \u20b95.61 lakh and joins the club of the lowest-priced 5-star Global NCAP-rated SUVs in the country. The middle variants like the N-Connecta CVT and the KURO Edition CVT, now dip below the price level of the \u20b99 lakh mark, and the high-end CVT variants include price cuts significant enough to push more customers towards the top trims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0With GST 2.0 and Nissan\u2019s strategic shift, the Magnite is set for more limelight in India\u2019s most competitive segment, the compact SUV space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#gst-impact-on-nissan-cars-up-to-1200-cc-and-up-to-4000-mm\">GST Impact on Nissan Cars up to 1200cc and up to 4000mm<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#price-changes-for-nissan-magnite-all-variants\">Price Changes for Nissan Magnite (All Variants)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#gst-impact-on-nissan-cars-with-more-than-1200-cc-and-more-than-4000-mm\">GST Impact on Nissan Cars with more than 1200cc and more than 4000mm<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#summary-gst-2-0-and-nissan-magnite\">Summary: GST 2.0 and Nissan Magnite<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#fa-qs-on-gst-2-0-and-nissan-magnite\">FAQs on GST 2.0 and Nissan Magnite<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gst-impact-on-nissan-cars-up-to-1200-cc-and-up-to-4000-mm\">GST Impact on Nissan Cars up to 1200cc and up to 4000mm<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Since Nissan\u2019s Indian lineup is only one model deep with the Magnite, its complete lineup qualifies for the lower 18% GST slab with GST 2.0. Earlier, the Magnite came with a duty of about 29\u201331% (28% GST + cess), which escalated costs and limited its access to rivals. The new regime reduces this by 11\u201313 percentage points, or more than \u20b950,000 in upfront savings, to entry trims, with a maximum of \u20b91 lakh for higher variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;It&#8217;s particularly timely because it adds flexibility to the whole equation. Wealthy customers get to take advantage of the Visia MT with its lower sticker price approaching hatchback grades. Still, customers who get fully loaded turbo CVTs get luxury access to things such as wireless Apple CarPlay\/Android Auto, six airbags, and a digital instrument cluster much more affordably.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price-changes-for-nissan-magnite-all-variants\">Price Changes for Nissan Magnite (All Variants)<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Car \/ Variant<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price Before GST Update<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price After GST Update<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Difference<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Visia MT<\/td><td>\u20b96,00,000 \u2013 \u20b96,25,000<\/td><td>\u20b95,45,000 \u2013 \u20b95,75,000<\/td><td>\u20b950,000 \u2013 \u20b955,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Visia AMT<\/td><td>\u20b96,60,000 \u2013 \u20b96,85,000<\/td><td>\u20b96,00,000 \u2013 \u20b96,30,000<\/td><td>\u20b955,000 \u2013 \u20b960,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Acenta MT<\/td><td>\u20b97,15,000 \u2013 \u20b97,40,000<\/td><td>\u20b96,50,000 \u2013 \u20b96,80,000<\/td><td>\u20b960,000 \u2013 \u20b965,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Acenta AMT<\/td><td>\u20b97,70,000 \u2013 \u20b97,95,000<\/td><td>\u20b97,00,000 \u2013 \u20b97,30,000<\/td><td>\u20b965,000 \u2013 \u20b970,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>N-Connecta Turbo CVT<\/td><td>\u20b99,70,000 \u2013 \u20b910,00,000<\/td><td>\u20b98,65,000 \u2013 \u20b99,05,000<\/td><td>\u20b995,000 \u2013 \u20b91,05,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tekna Plus Turbo CVT<\/td><td>\u20b911,60,000 \u2013 \u20b911,90,000<\/td><td>\u20b910,55,000\u2013\u20b910,95,000<\/td><td>\u20b995,000 \u2013 \u20b91,05,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With GST 2.0, Nissan cars like the Magnite now range from entry-level budget-friendly versions to high-spec turbo versions without crossing beyond the \u20b911 lakh barrier. It enables greater flexibility for purchasing higher versions without stretching finances too much.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gst-impact-on-nissan-cars-with-more-than-1200-cc-and-more-than-4000-mm\">GST Impact on Nissan Cars with more than 1200cc and more than 4000mm<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;As of now, Nissan India does not offer vehicles that cross 1200cc in engine size or 4000mm in length. In essence, that means the marque has none of its products within the higher 40% GST slab. While rivals, including Maruti, Hyundai, and Toyota, have to battle partial tax benefits on larger SUVs and MPVs, Nissan avoids such a challenge completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;For buyers, the news is simple: every single Nissan car in India qualifies for maximum benefit under GST 2.0. There is neither an exception nor token discounts or uneven reductions across models. For Nissan, this guarantees a clear price benefit in the subcompact SUV segment, where its Magnite is only able to offer lower pricing than higher-engined competition, with only minor 2\u20134% tax benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary-gst-2-0-and-nissan-magnite\">Summary: GST 2.0 and Nissan Magnite<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>GST 2.0 came at the right time for Nissan. The already reasonably priced compact SUV, the Magnite, receives a new tax structure by yet another \u20b952,400-\u20b91 lakh across variants. It is not just a price reduction, but a psychological boost for first-time SUV buyers and small families, offering a larger budget without compromising on value and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;While the bigger engines in the 1200cc-plus space of the competition earned exemptions for 2\u20133.5% 18% GST cuts, the sub-1200cc<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/nissan-magnite-features-variants-pricing\/\"> Nissan Magnite<\/a> enjoys the full 18% GST slab. That translates to any buyer, whether entry-level or top-spec, enjoying a hefty cut, including the full-spec top-end Turbo CVT. Coupled with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/nissan-magnite-scores-a-5-star-rating-in-the-global-ncap-safety-test\/\">5-star GNCAP<\/a> rating, tech-infused cabin space, and under-\u20b910 lakh price points, the Magnite now matches one of the best-in-class in the compact SUV arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Nissan India, GST 2.0 is the trigger that not only pushes sales during the festive season but also builds long-term brand confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fa-qs-on-gst-2-0-and-nissan-magnite\">FAQs on GST 2.0 and Nissan Magnite<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"saswp-faq-block-section\"><ol style=\"list-style-type:none\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h5 class=\"saswp-faq-question-title \"><strong>Q.
