Key takeaways

Product Review

Product Reviewed

  • Nissan Magnite (CVTX CVT transmission + 1000cc three-cylinder engine)
  • After 18,500 km of use
  • Compared mainly with its Renault “twin” (referred to in subtitles as Renault Kardian / Cardean)

Key Features Mentioned

  • Engine: 3-cylinder 1000cc with a turbocharger
    • Claimed torque: 152 Nm
    • (Speaker corrected other numbers mentioned elsewhere, e.g., 160)
  • Transmission: CVTX CVT (newer/improved generation)
    • Said to have better cooling than older CVTs
  • Speed capability: reaches ~180 km/h without major drivability issues
    • No “jerking” noted; described as requiring “pushing” at times
  • Fuel consumption: described as very good
    • Mentioned reading/context: 6.6 liters
    • Odometer referenced around 18,741 km

Pros (Advantages)

  • Improved CVT behavior
    • The newer CVTX generation (speaker associates it with newer Qashqai / Austral generation) has few or no complaints
    • Presented as better than older CVT versions
  • Strong performance / torque feel
    • Speaker calls it excellent, with strong torque attributed to the turbo (152 Nm cited)
  • Fuel economy
    • Described as fantastic
  • Air conditioning advantage (Nissan vs Renault)
    • Speaker repeatedly claims Nissan A/C is usually better than Renault’s—especially on Magnite

Cons (Problems / Defects After 18,500 km)

  1. Loud noise at morning start
    • Attributed to 3-cylinder vibrations/imbalance
    • Speaker describes the sound like a “missing piston” effect and notes rattling on startup
  2. Noise/vibration at high speed
    • Around 150–160 km/h and above, there’s knocking and loud sound
    • Speaker frames it as expected/normal for this engine family
    • Includes a comparison to similar 3-cylinder vibration behavior seen in related Renault/Nissan setups
  3. Rotor/drivetrain-linked loud noise
    • Subtitles mention a loud rotor noise related to the drivetrain system (wording unclear)
    • Main takeaway: another noise source exists beyond engine vibration

Overall, the speaker implies the car is mechanically “fine,” with the main issues being noise/vibration characteristics—especially when cold-starting and at higher speeds.

User Experience / Ownership Impressions

  • Positioned as longer-term ownership, not a short test drive (18,500 km experience)
  • Speaker says it works normally and perfectly for daily household use
    • Family members use it often (likened to a “house donkey”/daily-use vehicle)
  • Criticism of “10-minute test drives”
    • Speaker argues brief driving isn’t representative
    • Prefers real ownership experience

Comparisons Made

Nissan Magnite vs Renault Kardian (the “twin”)

  • Speaker claims they are essentially the same platform/system:
    • Same platform
    • Same engine
    • Same CVTX transmission
    • Essentially the same car, with badge/design differences
  • Claimed practical differences:
    • Price
    • Some comfort aspects, especially A/C
  • Nissan is positioned as:
    • Cheaper
    • With better A/C

CVT Comparison (newer vs older)

  • Speaker argues many CVT problems blamed publicly came from older generations
    • Mentions problematic/earlier CVTs in models like:
      • Renault Megane / Fluence
      • Older Qashqai
      • Mentions a Megane naturally aspirated version as well
  • He says newer CVTX versions (e.g., in Qashqai facelift and Austral) show no notable complaints
    • Reason given: better cooling and oil maintenance compatibility

Ratings / Numbers Included

  • Torque: 152 Nm (explicitly emphasized as the correct figure)
  • Top speed capability: ~180 km/h
  • Knocking/noise zone: roughly 150–160 km/h
  • Fuel consumption mention: 6.6 liters
  • Odometer reference: around 18,741 km
  • Egypt price claims (approximate):
    • Renault Kardian top trim: ~1 million pounds
    • Nissan Magnite top trim: ~888,000 pounds (speaker also mentions “888,000?”)
    • Claimed difference: ~115,000 pounds
    • Additional pricing relationship:
      • Renault Kardian base costs more than Magnite top
      • Magnite base is cheaper than Kardian base by about ~100,000

Unique Points Mentioned About the Product (Complete Set)

  • 18,500 km real-world experience with:
    • 3-cylinder turbo + CVTX
  • Loud morning startup noise + slight rattling
    • Linked to 3-cylinder imbalance/vibrations
  • High-speed noise/knocking
    • Around 150–160 km/h
  • Turbo torque makes it feel strong
    • Torque claimed 152 Nm
  • CVTX reliability vs older CVTs
    • Better cooling and improved behavior
  • Older CVT failure explanation (speaker’s claim)
    • Linked to maintenance and dealers refusing “lifetime oil”
    • Impurities damaging housings around 60,000–70,000 km
  • Fuel consumption is very good
    • Mapping/efficiency may improve
  • Nissan A/C better than Renault A/C (speaker’s repeated claim)
  • Value conclusion
    • Magnite is better value than Kardian due to lower price and perceived quality/design
  • Recommendation boundary
    • Don’t buy if you’re worried about 3-cylinder noise/its characteristic sound
  • Future alternative mentioned
    • 4-cylinder coming, named “Khedda Venue” (later also “Chevrolet Grove” mentioned)
    • Appearances/details are unclear

Speaker Views (From the Same Main Reviewer)

  • Main reviewer: Magnite is good value vs its twin, but has known noise/vibration behavior:
    • Cold start noise
    • High-speed knocking
  • Reinforces: CVTX is reliable relative to older CVTs when maintained correctly
  • Emphasis against bias from:
    • Used-car dealers / online commenters
    • Preference for experience-based evaluation

Concise Verdict / Recommendation

Recommendation: Buy the Nissan Magnite—especially if you value price/value and can accept 3-cylinder noise characteristics.

Main caution: Expect loud startup noise and vibration/knocking at higher speeds (150–160 km/h). The speaker suggests this behavior is largely “normal” for this setup—so if these noises worry you, the video indicates not buying the 3-cylinder.
