Nexon is a popular compact SUV that boasts a 5-star safety rating at the Global NCAP, the latest tech features and powerful engines. That is what makes it so popular among the masses. On the other hand, the Magnite is a compact SUV which has not been so popular. Nevertheless, it has revived the Nissan brand in India. Let us take a look at the details of this latest drag race.

This video comes from Charlie Vlogs on YouTube. Both these SUVs have turbo petrol engines and manual transmissions. For the first round, the AC is on and the traction is OFF. The launch was almost similar but the Magnite suddenly pushed ahead with great grunt. It remained ahead for the entire race. For the next rounds, the team of vloggers tried all sorts of combinations with drive modes, AC and traction. However, the result remained the same. The performance of the Magnite was quite impressive. It never let the Nexon go ahead in any round. As a matter of fact, even in the rollout races, the Magnite trounced the Nexon. Hence, the Nissan Magnite emerged as an undisputed winner.

Specs Comparison

Nissan Magnite, in its sportiest settings, comes powered by a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine which develops 100 PS and 160 Nm of peak power and torque. There is a 5-speed manual transmission. This engine is also offered in a lower state of tune. On the other hand, the Nexon comes with a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol mill which churns out 120 PS and 170 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine comes with either a 6-speed manual or an automatic transmission. It weighs more than the Magnite which could be the main reason behind these shocking results.

What We Think

In recent times, YouTubers have adopted a common practice of utilizing drag races to compare and assess the performance of two cars. However, it’s worth noting that employing drag races for such evaluations may not be the most prudent approach. The reason is that drag races can potentially inflict long-term harm on vehicles, as the majority of cars are not designed for sustained high-speed straight-line runs. For this reason, we strongly recommend refraining from attempting drag races with your own vehicle. In reality, most individuals do not drive their cars in such an extreme manner due to safety considerations.
