If the Nissan Kicks isn’t compact enough for you, perhaps the upcoming Magnite might get you excited. Positioned below the Kicks, the Nissan Magnite is an upcoming sub-4-meter long SUV that could very well be the cheapest new SUV in India, with prices rumoured to start below the INR 6 lakh (~RM 34,472) mark, likely undercutting the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Hyundai Venue. In an effort to draw customers away from the competition, a report from Autocar India mentioned that the Magnite could

When Suzuki unveiled the all-new fourth-generation Jimny a few years ago, it was only available as a 3-door model. But that could change soon, as Suzuki’s India arm, Maruti Suzuki, is reportedly working on a larger 5-door version of the evergreen SUV. While the 5-door variant may gain more doors over its 3-door sibling, the rest of the Jimny should remain identical, down to its ladder frame construction, 4-wheel drive system with low-range transfer case, and rigid axles on the front and rear.
