5. Auto-Dimming Bezel-Less IRVM
N-Connecta Onwards- Rs. Rs. 7.86 Lakhs
Another addition that the Nissan Magnite can now flaunt is the bezel-less auto-dimming inside rear view mirror that not only looks classy but also is a functional add-on rather than the manual unit. While some may argue the fact that this isn't something that is very impressive in the feature list, it is sure a worthy add-on. Plus the bezel-less element has been around with the premium models in the higher price bracket, so the Magnite offering this is actually commendable.
