Cheaper to buy isn’t cheaper to own

Comparing the Nissan Magnite (R370,900) and Omoda C5 (R339,900) – see how price, engine, warranty and safety stack up below.

The instalment, the fuel bill and the five-year figure — worked out on your deposit, your rate and your driving. Every specification below comes from a verified record.

Fuel costs aren't shown — we don't yet have a verified consumption figure for the Nissan Magnite, and a partial comparison would favour it unfairly.

Cost-to-own figures are illustrative only: a standard reducing-balance loan calculation using the deposit, trade-in, balloon, interest rate, term and driving assumptions above, plus fuel at the price you set. They exclude insurance, licensing and servicing, and are not a loan quote — get a real quote from our Finance Calculator.
