COFFEE CULTURE

Two friends head out to explore the coffee capital of India with the Nissan Magnite HRAO X-Tronic CVT

As someone deeply entrenched in the world of automobiles, I often find myself at the crossroads of curiosity and innovation. With two degrees in automobile engineering, I have a keen eye for what makes a vehicle stand out. However, my professional journey didn’t quite follow the expected path, leading me into an automotive publication job that I absolutely love! Meanwhile, my friends, like Gaurav, are engrossed in the tech world, boasting of frenzy degrees in computer science and artificial intelligence.

Gaurav, a quintessential techie, spends his days in the high-rise offices of Bangalore, navigating the complexities of artificial intelligence. Trapped in the relentless nine-to-five grind, he seemed in dire need of a break. So, I decided to liberate him from his desk-bound existence and take him on a rejuvenating trip to Chikmagalur. Our companion for this adventure was the highly acclaimed Nissan Magnite CVT, a B-SUV that’s been making significant waves in the Indian automotive market.

As we approached the Nissan Magnite, its sleek and stylish design immediately caught our attention. The bold front grille, sharp LED headlights, and bold stance hinted at the journey that awaited us. Stepping inside, we were greeted by a spacious and well-appointed interior. The seats were comfortable, and the dashboard was adorned with a host of features that promised to make our journey as enjoyable as possible.

With a gentle push of the start button, the Magnite’s 1-litre turbo petrol engine sprang to life, emitting a confident yet subdued growl. As we navigated through the congested streets of Bangalore, I marvelled at the smoothness of the ride, thanks to the HRAO X-Tronic CVT gearbox. Unlike other transmissions, the HRAO X-Tronic CVT offers an infinite number of gear ratios, ensuring seamless acceleration and enhanced fuel efficiency.
