Part of Nissan India’s model offensive for the next two years

At the arrival of the X-Trail, Nissan India confirmed a model offensive which would happen over the course of two years. This model offensive will see the current sole showroom display – the Magnite – be joined by 5 new models including a C-SUV (Creta-rival), an entry-level EV (electric-Kwid equivalent), and the update for their strong-selling sub-4 metre SUV. Now, it appears the Magnite facelift is next in line and is set to be launched in India on October 4.

Introduced in 2020, the Magnite achieved the one lakh units sales milestone in early 2024. This means it has so far found over 30,000 takers annually. Its strongest suit has been its reliability, practical and comfortable cabin, and punchy yet frugal powertrain. Moreover, the Magnite is also a handsome-looking sub-4 metre SUV. With this update, Nissan will play it safe and isn’t likely to comprehensively change the well-established and recognisable design. We might, however, see tweaked bumpers, some changes to the headlight and tail lamp signature apart from newer colour options and alloy wheel design.
