Nissan Motor India has launched the much-anticipated facelifted version of its popular compact SUV, the Magnite, with a fresh new look and added features. Starting at Rs 5.99 lakh, ex-showroom, the updated Magnite is available in six variants: Visia, Visia+, Acenta, In-connecta, Tekna, and Tekna+. Moreover, the model now gets a 3-year/1 lakh km warranty as standard.
Nissan Magnite Facelift: Design
The exterior of the refreshed Magnite retains its bold presence, with a few subtle updates. The signature hexagonal grille now sports revised inserts and a sleeker gloss-black surround, giving the front end a sharper appearance. The redesigned bumper and updated fog lamp surrounds add to the fresh look. Otherwise, it retains the design of the sleek headlamps albeit with enhanced functionality.
At the rear, changes are minimal, with the taillights featuring an updated M-shaped design. These tweaks maintain the SUV’s familiar silhouette while giving it a more refreshed look.
Nissan Magnite Facelift: Cabin and interiors
Inside, the Magnite gets a new black-and-orange theme, bringing a youthful vibe to the cabin. It now comes equipped with a 7-inch digital driver’s display featuring a dark theme, ambient lighting in four colors, and upgraded seat upholstery with soft materials used in key touchpoints like the armrests, steering wheel, and door trims. Other convenience features include a cooled glovebox, front armrest with storage, wireless charging, and a new I-key with walk-away lock, approach unlock, and remote engine start within a 60-metre range.
On the safety front, the Magnite gets six airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), among other features.
