Nissan last week pulled the cover off its new Magnite compact SUV in Delhi, India. The new model combines sleek new styling, innovative advanced technology features, optimum efficiency, and smart safety features to deliver the best Magnite yet.
Bold styling & advanced tech
The Magnite is a striking compact SUV, with robust exterior styling complemented by LED lights front and rear, alloy wheels and roof rails.
Inside, tech-savvy customers will love the digital TFT configurable driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, for seamless smartphone integration, as well as the wireless smartphone charger. For the comfort and convenience of rear passengers, there is also a USB charger and air vents. And life-on-board has been enhanced with the addition of four-colour adjustable ambient lighting.
Customers will appreciate other seamless and sleek innovations, such as remote engine start, walk away lock and approach unlock functions, cooled glove box storage, and an on-board air ionizer – ideal for customers with allergies or respiratory conditions.
With customers’ reassurance in mind, the Magnite’s bodyshell uses reinforced steel for impressive structural integrity. Six airbags are standard across all variants while three-point seat belts are offered for rear passengers. And demonstrating that close attention has been paid to driver comfort, the rear-view mirror is frameless, giving a wider field of view and it automatically dims to reduce distracting dazzle from cars behind.
Efficient performance
The Magnite is powered by an advanced turbocharged 1.0-litre engine which can be paired with either a manual or advanced Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Offering the optimum balance of fuel economy and responsive performance, the engine generates 74kW (99hp) and 160Nm – impressive figures from such modest displacement. (Fuel economy*: MT: 20 KMPL. CVT: 17.4 KMPL).
Thanks to independent Macpherson strut suspension with anti-roll bars and rebound springs at the front and semi-independent coil spring suspension at the rear, occupants will enjoy a comfortable, calm ride without excess roll or pitch, even in the most challenging road conditions.
Ideal for urban mobility
Despite its compact dimensions of less than four metres in length, a width of 1758mm and height of 1572mm, the Magnite can accommodate five passengers – thanks to its generous wheelbase of 2500mm – making it ideal for urban mobility. This urban focus is enhanced further with the inclusion of Around View Monitor – one of Nissan’s iconic technical innovations – which generates a bird’s-eye-view of the car from four cameras, parking in tight spaces is a low-stress exercise.
