Nissan Magnite facelift: A steady start
The Magnite SUV is produced at Nissan and Renault’s joint manufacturing facility in Chennai. The first export batch of the Nissan Magnite facelift was shipped to South Africa recently. The automaker plans to export the SUV to over 65 markets across the globe. This includes left-hand-drive markets as well.

The Nissan Magnite facelift gets some cosmetic changes but remains mechanically unchanged. It is available in two engine options. The 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine produces a maximum power output of 72hp and 96Nm of torque. This engine can be linked to a 5-speed manual or automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine produces a maximum power output of 100hp and 160Nm of torque. This engine can be mated to a 5-speed manual or CVT gearbox.

Buyers can opt for an additional ‘tech pack’ which consists of features like a dashcam, wireless charger, premium speakers (JBL powered by Harman), puddle lamps and LED scuff plates.
The interior layout of the SUV is largely similar to its outgoing version. It has a black and copper dual-tone colour theme for the cabin, dashboard, and upholstery.
