While Nexon&#8217;s official mileage figures are 23.23 km\/l for diesel and 24 km\/kg for CNG, Magnite&#8217;s petrol mileage is claimed at 19.9 km\/l. However, which of the two delivers better real-world efficiency on Indian roads?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nexon first launched in India in 2017, with its current major update arriving in 2023. It offers turbo-petrol, diesel and factory-fitted CNG powertrains. The Magnite arrived in 2020 and was facelifted in 2024, retaining naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol engines while adding an authorised CNG retrofit option. The Magnite has an advantage in petrol efficiency, while the Nexon counters with diesel and factory-CNG choices that can significantly reduce running costs.<\/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=\"#tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-specs\">Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite Specs<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-arai-mileage-figures\">Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite ARAI Mileage Figures<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-real-world-fuel-efficiency\">Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite Real-World Fuel Efficiency<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-fuel-cost-comparison\">Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite Fuel Cost Comparison<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-price\">Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite Price<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#summary\">Summary<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#fa-qs-about-tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-real-world-mileage-comparison\">FAQs About Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite Real-World Mileage Comparison<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-specs\">Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite Specs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between the two SUVs is the engines. While all petrol variants of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/cars\/tata\/nexon\/?utm_source=NexonVsMagniteMileage&amp;utm_medium=BlogLink\">Tata Nexon<\/a> are powered by a 1.2-litre turbo motor that produces 120hp and 170Nm of torque, the Magnite petrol engine options include a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing only 72PS, as well as a 1.0-litre turbo petrol producing 100PS. In addition to the turbo petrol engine, the Nexon also offers a 1.5-litre diesel engine and a turbo CNG engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight also influences efficiency. Depending on the version, the Magnite weighs roughly 1.0\u20131.1 tonnes and is noticeably lighter than many Nexon variants. This helps the Magnite achieve competitive petrol mileage even with its more powerful turbo engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Specification<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Tata Nexon<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Nissan Magnite<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Engine<\/strong><\/td><td>1.2L turbo-petrol \/ 1.5L diesel \/ 1.2L turbo-CNG<\/td><td>1.0L NA petrol \/ 1.0L turbo-petrol \/ retrofit CNG<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Displacement<\/strong><\/td><td>1,199cc petrol\/CNG \/ 1,497cc diesel<\/td><td>999cc<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Power<\/strong><\/td><td>120hp petrol \/ 115hp diesel \/ 100hp CNG<\/td><td>72PS NA \/ 100PS turbo<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Torque<\/strong><\/td><td>170Nm petrol\/CNG \/ 260Nm diesel<\/td><td>96Nm NA \/ 160Nm turbo MT \/ 152Nm CVT<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Transmission<\/strong><\/td><td>5MT \/ 6MT \/ 6AMT \/ 7DCT<\/td><td>5MT \/ 5AMT \/ CVT<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Drive layout<\/strong><\/td><td>FWD<\/td><td>FWD<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Kerb weight<\/strong><\/td><td>Around 1.2\u20131.35 tonnes depending on version<\/td><td>Approx. 1,019\u20131,103kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel tank capacity<\/strong><\/td><td>44 litres<\/td><td>40 litres<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-arai-mileage-figures\">Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite ARAI Mileage Figures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The mileage figures for the Tata Nexon, as per official claims, vary by engine and transmission type.

This means the Magnite retains its efficiency advantage in everyday petrol driving. Despite this, the Nexon&#8217;s larger 44-litre tank means its theoretical full-tank ranges are very similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the automatic versions, the Nexon DCT gets around 9.1 km\/l in the city and 16.6 km\/l on highways, while the Magnite Turbo CVT gets around 9.5 km\/l in the city and 15.22 km\/l on highways. While Magnite seems to be stronger in all figures tested, Nexon manages to outdo Magnite on highways as far as mileage is concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Tata Nexon Petrol MT<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Nissan Magnite NA MT<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Tata Nexon DCT<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>City<\/strong><\/td><td>Varies<\/td><td>Varies<\/td><td>9.1 km\/l<\/td><td>9.5 km\/l<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Highway<\/strong><\/td><td>Varies<\/td><td>Varies<\/td><td>16.6 km\/l<\/td><td>15.22 km\/l<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Average<\/strong><\/td><td>~16.03 km\/l<\/td><td>~17.53 km\/l<\/td><td>~10.83 km\/l<\/td><td>~12.36 km\/l<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tank range<\/strong><\/td><td>~705 km<\/td><td>~701 km<\/td><td>~477 km<\/td><td>~494 km<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the Nexon diesel variant, the Magnite has no directly comparable variant. The diesel Nexon achieved 16.5 km per litre in cities and 19.4 on highways with an overall combined mileage of approximately 17.95 km per litre. The CNG Nexon, on the other hand, recorded 15.1 km per kg in the city and 23.7 km per kg on the highway before being tested, achieving an overall fuel efficiency of around 19.4 km per kg. Reports from owners of Magnite CNG indicate fuel efficiency figures in the range of 16-21 km per kg in cities and close to 27 km per kg on the highways. Still, these figures have not undergone testing as elaborated for the Nexon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/complete-guide-on-buying-a-nissan-magnite\/\">Complete Guide on Buying a Nissan Magnite<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-fuel-cost-comparison\">Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite Fuel Cost Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the fuel-cost calculation, we have assumed 1,500 km of driving per month, equivalent to 18,000 km annually.

The figures for the Magnite CNG are lower, but they should be taken as approximate, as they come from ownership experience rather than standardised figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n    <style>\r\n        .sp-card-wrapper { \r\n            margin: 40px auto; \r\n            border-radius: 20px; \r\n            overflow: hidden; \r\n            font-family: sans-serif; \r\n            background: #fff; \r\n            box-shadow: 0 15px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.18); \r\n            max-width: 700px; \/* Narrower width makes the stack feel tighter *\/\r\n            text-decoration: none;\r\n            display: block;\r\n            width: 100%;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-img-container { \r\n            width: 100%; \r\n            position: relative;\r\n            padding-top: 56.25%; \/* Fixed 16:9 ratio for a cinematic feel *\/\r\n            background: #f4f4f4;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-img-container img {\r\n            position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-fit: cover;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-footer { \r\n            padding: 30px; \r\n            background: #2e054e; \r\n            color: #fff !important; \r\n            text-align: center; \/* Centered layout for the stack *\/\r\n            display: flex;\r\n            flex-direction: column;\r\n            align-items: center;\r\n            gap: 15px;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-card-title { \r\n            font-size: clamp(28px, 5vw, 42px); \/* Much larger, prominent name *\/\r\n            margin: 0; \r\n            font-weight: 800; \r\n            color: #fff !important; \r\n            line-height: 1.1;\r\n            letter-spacing: -1px;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-btn { \r\n            background: #ed264f; \r\n            padding: 18px 40px; \r\n            border-radius: 10px; \r\n            font-weight: 900; \r\n            color: #fff !important; \r\n            font-size: 16px; \r\n            text-transform: uppercase; \r\n            letter-spacing: 1px; \r\n            width: 100%;\r\n            max-width: 300px; \/* Prevents button from being too wide on desktop *\/\r\n            box-sizing: border-box;\r\n            box-shadow: 0 4px 15px rgba(237, 38, 79, 0.3);\r\n        }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n\r\n    <a href='https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/used-magnite-cars\/s\/?utm_source=NexonVsMagniteMileage&utm_medium=BlogCard' target='_blank' class='sp-card-wrapper'>\r\n        <div class='sp-img-container'>\r\n            <img src='https:\/\/mda.spinny.com\/sp-file-system\/public\/2026-02-21\/1b85df4ca8cc42228daf9e4f7ad370ff\/raw\/file.JPG?q=85&#038;w=900&#038;dpr=0.8' alt='Used Nissan Magnite Cars'>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <div class='sp-footer'>\r\n            <h3 class='sp-card-title'>Used Nissan Magnite Cars<\/h3>\r\n            <div style='margin-bottom: 5px;'>\r\n                        <div style='font-size: 12px; opacity: 0.8; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.5px;'>Starting From<\/div>\r\n                        <div style='font-size: clamp(24px, 4vw, 32px); font-weight: 800;'>\u20b9 3.5 Lakh<\/div>\r\n                      <\/div>\r\n            <div class='sp-btn'>Explore Pre-Owned Cars<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-price\">Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nissan Magnite has a clear entry-price advantage. Its range begins at approximately \u20b95.68 lakh, while the Tata Nexon starts around \u20b97.40 lakh ex-showroom. Upper Magnite turbo variants overlap with mid-range Nexon models, but the Nexon stretches higher because of its broader engine, transmission and equipment range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Model<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Variant<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price (ex-showroom)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tata Nexon<\/strong><\/td><td>Smart Petrol MT<\/td><td>\u20b97.40 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tata Nexon<\/strong><\/td><td>Smart CNG<\/td><td>\u20b98.37 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tata Nexon<\/strong><\/td><td>Smart+ Diesel MT<\/td><td>~\u20b99.01 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tata Nexon<\/strong><\/td><td>Creative Petrol DCT<\/td><td>~\u20b911.42 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nissan Magnite<\/strong><\/td><td>Visia Petrol MT<\/td><td>\u20b95.68 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nissan Magnite<\/strong><\/td><td>Visia AMT<\/td><td>\u20b96.27 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nissan Magnite<\/strong><\/td><td>N-Connecta Turbo MT<\/td><td>\u20b98.77 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nissan Magnite<\/strong><\/td><td>Acenta Turbo CVT<\/td><td>\u20b99.26 lakh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nissan Magnite<\/strong><\/td><td>Tekna+ Turbo CVT<\/td><td>\u20b910.99 lakh<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The CNG modification kit for the Magnite costs about \u20b974,999. Also, while the petrol manual option of the Magnite is the less expensive option and gets better ratings in this comparison, there is no traditional cost break-even for the Nexon petrol. Instead, the premium on the Nexon is justifiable because of its better performance, more engine-configuration options, and the availability of factory diesel and CNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/why-the-tata-nexon-is-indias-most-popular-compact-suv\/\">Why India Loves the Tata Nexon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For petrol mileage, the Nissan Magnite comes out ahead. Its smaller engine, lower kerb weight and efficient gearing help it achieve better official and real-world economy than comparable Nexon petrol versions. The naturally aspirated Magnite manual averages around 17.53 km\/l in current user-reported data, compared with approximately 16.03 km\/l for the Nexon petrol manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, higher running distances make the Nexon an even more appealing option. The diesel version of the Nexon has fuel efficiency ratings of 16.5 km\/l in the city and 19.4 km\/l on highways, making it one of the best models for frequent long drivers. The CNG factory model is also known for improved fuel efficiency and an integrated system from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, choose the Nissan Magnite if petrol efficiency and lower purchase price are priorities. Choose the Tata Nexon if you want more powertrain flexibility, especially diesel or factory-fitted CNG for lower long-term running costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fa-qs-about-tata-nexon-vs-nissan-magnite-real-world-mileage-comparison\">FAQs About Tata Nexon vs Nissan Magnite Real-World Mileage Comparison<\/h2>\n\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.
