Features

edit

The Magic is offered in hardtop and soft-top variants and has an all steel body. It offers a flexible seating capacity of 4-7 passengers with adequate legroom, or up to 10 passengers maximum. Powered by a selection of two-cylinder engines, the Magic offers high fuel efficiency and low maintenance but has a low top speed as a result, with the fastest version achieving only 80 km/h (50 mph). The engine is placed underneath the vehicle behind the driver's cab and is rear wheel drive. The front axle is a rigid axle and the rear is a live axle. Both axles have semi-elliptical leaf springs and 13-inch wheels provide ground clearance of 15 cm (5.9 in). The Magic has a turning radius of 4.3 metres (14.1 ft).

Powertrain

edit

The Magic achieves a low cost of ownership with its diesel, petrol and CNG inline-two engines. It originally launched with a naturally aspirated four stroke 702 cc that is water cooled and has port injection. It produced 12 kW (16 hp) and 38 N⋅m (28 lb⋅ft) of torque while meeting BSIV emissions standards. It was paired with a four-speed manual transmission with synchromesh and achieved a top speed of 64 km/h (40 mph). Later, a CNG version of the engine was offered which produced 21 kW (28 hp) and 49 N⋅m (36 lb⋅ft) of torque which was paired with a new five-speed transmission, allowing for a higher top speed of 77 km/h (48 mph).

In 2018, a new more powerful diesel engine was offered with the introduction of the Magic Mantra. It is a turbocharged four-stroke 798 cc with direct injection and is intercooled. It produces 30 kW (40 hp) and 100 N⋅m (74 lb⋅ft) of torque and is paired with the five-speed transmission, achieving a top speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).[2][3]

With the introduction of the Magic Express refresh, engines needed to comply with the incoming BSVI emissions standards. A new four-stroke naturally aspirated 694 cc petrol engine with port injection was introduced which makes 22 kW (30 hp) and 55 N⋅m (41 lb⋅ft) of torque. All models come equipped with the five-speed transmission.[4]

Variants

Magic Mantra

edit

The Magic Mantra is a higher powered variant of the Magic introduced in 2018 and features an optional larger 798 cc turbocharged direct injection two-cylinder diesel motor that allows it to achieve a claimed top speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) and fuel economy of 4.67 L/100 km (50 mpg‑US; 60 mpg‑imp). It was offered in seven or eight seater configurations.[3]

Magic Express & Mantra BS6 10 Seater

edit

In 2019, the Magic was refreshed and the range was replaced with the Magic Express and Magic Mantra. They both feature a new petrol engine that meets new BSVI emissions standards, and the previous diesel and CNG models were discontinued. The Express has five full size doors, while the Mantra has half doors in the rear and has an optional canvas top. There is seating for ten passengers to circumvent new crash safety regulations that apply to passenger vehicles that seat under nine people.[5] Power assisted brakes and rear parking sensors were added to satisfy new safety regulations. Additional updates include a new all digital gauge cluster with shift indicators, a more ergonomically positioned steering wheel, a USB-A charging port, and an Eco mode for petrol models.
