If you are shopping for a budget family runabout this festive season, Nissan has tossed a sharp calculation onto the showroom table. The automaker is waiving the cost of dealer-installed CNG kits worth up to ₹85,999 on select trims of the Magnite crossover and the Gravite seven-seater until November 16, 2026. But there is a catch. You cannot combine the free gas kit with standard holiday cash discounts. You must pick one or the other.
On the Gravite, the arithmetic swings heavily in favor of the gas tank. The free kit applies exclusively to the top-tier Tekna trims, priced between ₹8.08 lakh and ₹9.09 lakh ex-showroom. Pass on the kit, and Nissan hands you up to ₹55,000 in promotional benefits alongside an assured gold coin. Choose the kit, and you lock in ₹85,999 worth of certified hardware backed by a three-year or 1,00,000-kilometre warranty. That gives gas-seeking Gravite buyers a clean ₹30,999 advantage over the cash bundle. Under the hood, the familiar 1.0-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine puts out roughly 63 horsepower and 72 Nm of torque when burning natural gas, paired with either a five-speed manual or a five-speed automated manual transmission (AMT). Nissan pegs Gravite CNG fuel economy at 19.3 km/kg.
Turn to the Magnite, and the showroom math changes completely.
Nissan offers the free ₹74,999 kit on nearly every non-turbo Magnite variant starting from the Acenta manual trim upwards, covering price points from ₹6.87 lakh to ₹9.31 lakh. Only base Visia manual, Visia AMT, and Visia+ manual trims sit locked out of the promotion. Yet if you decline the CNG hardware on a qualifying Magnite, Nissan tables up to ₹1 lakh in direct cash savings plus the gold coin. The alternative discount outweighs the kit value by ₹25,001. City commuters logging short school runs and modest weekend mileage will bank more upfront capital simply taking the cash.
Practical ownership questions demand straight answers before signing paperwork on the showroom floor. Because these are retrofitted assemblies rather than factory-integrated floorpans, buyers must inspect boot encroachment firsthand to see how much usable luggage volume remains behind the cylinders. Confirm whether the retrofit warranty runs alongside Nissan’s factory powertrain protection without voids, and ensure the dealership manages the mandatory endorsement on your registration certificate before delivery. Deliveries remain tied to existing dealer allocations across metropolitan and regional hubs through the November 16 deadline.
