Nissan India has announced an exciting lineup of new models, starting with the facelifted Magnite set to debut on October 4. Alongside, this refreshed SUV, the company plans to introduce an array of new vehicles, including an entry-level electric vehicle based on the CMF-AEV platform, a compact 5-seater SUV, a midsize 7-seater SUV, and a three-row compact MPV. The facelifted Magnite will lead the way, paving the path for these upcoming additions to Nissan’s portfolio.
The Nissan Magnite, which first launched in India in December 2020, is set for an update. The facelifted model will likely maintain its familiar shape but will feature a refreshed front bumper, grille, and new LED daytime running lights. The updated Magnite may also sport new alloy wheels and interior upgrades such as improved upholstery and a larger touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Additional enhancements are expected to include keyless entry, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a JBL sound system, a reverse parking camera, and wireless charging. For added safety, the facelifted Magnite is anticipated to come standard with six airbags.
The facelifted Nissan Magnite is anticipated to retain its current engine lineup. It will likely offer the same 1.0-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 71bhp and 96Nm of torque, along with the 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine generating 99bhp and 160Nm of torque. Transmission choices are expected to include a 5-speed manual, a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT), and a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The Nissan Magnite is available in various trims including XE, XL, XV, XV Premium, Kuro Edition, and Geza Edition, with prices ranging from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 10.92 lakh (ex-showroom, including benefits). Positioned in a competitive segment, the Magnite competes with popular models such as the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Kia Sonet.
