Nissan Motor India has officially launched the new Nissan Magnite, boasting bold aesthetics, enhanced safety features, and advanced technology. The Magnite’s robust design enhances its already striking road presence, offering a tougher exterior that exudes confidence. Continuing its commitment to innovation and customer-centric design, the new Magnite enters the market at an introductory price of INR 5.99 lakhs. This model aligns with Nissan’s ‘Make-in-India, Make for the World’ initiative, having achieved cumulative sales of over 150,000 units since its launch in December 2020, making a significant impact both in India and globally.
The new Nissan Magnite’s introduction is a pivotal step in expanding the brand’s presence in export markets. The continuing demand for the ‘Made in India’ Magnite across international markets has enabled the company to extend its export footprint to 47 additional countries, bringing the total to over 65 markets, including left-hand drive regions.
Mr. Frank Torres, Divisional Vice President for AMIEO Region Business Transformation & President of Nissan India Operations, stated, "India plays a crucial role in our global strategy, and we are pleased to expand the Magnite's reach from our Chennai facility to more global markets. This not only furthers our export ambitions but also reinforces our customer-first approach. The success of the Nissan Magnite since its 2020 debut demonstrates the lasting value of our 'One Car, One World' philosophy."

Striking Exterior Design
Building on its previous success, the new Nissan Magnite features an even more commanding exterior, highlighted by sleek LED headlamps with lightsaber-style turn indicators, best-in-class LED taillamps with a 3D gradient honeycomb pattern, and L-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs). The redesigned front boasts a new floating skid plate, a larger imposing grille, dual-tone R16 diamond-cut alloy wheels, functional roof rails (with a 50kg load capacity), and the highest ground clearance in its class. The new Magnite is available in 11 body colors (6 monotone and 5 dual-tone) to suit diverse customer preferences.
Luxurious Interiors
Inside, the new Nissan Magnite raises the bar with a refined interior that offers a first-in-segment 360-degree leather pack, including a brownish-orange leatherette dashboard, leatherette seats with a honeycomb quilting pattern, and premium finishes on the door trims, steering wheel, parking brake lever, and front armrest. The cabin also boasts ample storage, comfortable seating, a standard boot space expandable from 336L to 540L, and features like the largest rear knee room, cooled glove box, and high-command driving position.
Advanced Technology
The new Magnite is equipped with over 20 segment-first features, such as quilted leatherette seats with heat guard technology, multi-color ambient lighting with memory function, a plasma cluster air ionizer, a smart key with remote engine start, walk-away lock and approach unlock functions, and an electronic bezel-less auto-dimming rearview mirror. Other highlights include a 17.78 cm digital multi-functional cluster, an 8-inch floating touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a 3D sound system by ARKAMYS.
For added convenience, customers can opt for a tech package that includes a dashcam, wireless charger, premium JBL speakers, puddle lamps, and LED scuff plates.
Powerful Performance
The Nissan Magnite continues to offer a dynamic driving experience with the HRA0 1.0-litre turbo engine, one of the most fuel-efficient engines in the segment (20 kmpl). Its advanced features, like mirror bore coating technology, integrated exhaust manifold, and split cooling, contribute to improved performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. The turbo engine is available with a 5-speed manual transmission or X-TRONIC CVT gearbox, which offers seamless performance, especially in city traffic, thanks to its twin oil pump system and D-step logic control software.
A naturally aspirated 1.0-litre B4D engine is also available, with manual or EZ-shift transmission options.
Uncompromised Safety
Nissan has prioritized safety with the new Magnite, equipping it with over 40 standard active safety features and a total of 55 safety features, including six airbags, vehicle dynamic control (VDC), traction control system (TCS), hill start assist (HSA), hydraulic brake assist (HBA), anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Additional safety features include 3-point seat belts, seat-belt reminders for all seats, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, and rear parking sensors, ensuring a secure driving experience for all passengers.
The new Magnite is built with 67% high-tensile steel for enhanced structural integrity and comes with a 3-year/100,000 km warranty as standard.
This new launch reinforces Nissan’s commitment to delivering vehicles that excel in design, technology, safety, and value, making the new Magnite a compelling option for customers seeking a standout SUV.
The expansion into more international markets, including left-hand drive regions, underscores Nissan India’s pivotal role in the company’s global manufacturing strategy.
