The Nissan Magnite subcompact SUV has been on sale in India since 2020. It is an important car for Nissan as the Magnite put the Japanese carmaker back in the radar when its sales were dwindling. Now, Nissan is all set to introduced the Magnite facelift on our shores and if you had your eyes set on one, here’s what you can expect:

Evolutionary Exterior Design

Recent teasers from Nissan have revealed that the Magnite facelift will get minor design tweaks to keep it fresh. It will get a revised grille, flanked by a pair of updated LED headlights. Except for the new alloys, no major changes are expected to be made to the side profile. The Magnite will also receive a new set of LED tail lights.

Apart from these, one can also expect the Magnite to get tweaked bumpers. A new orange colour can also be seen in the recent teaser campaigns from Nissan.

Minor Updates To The Interior

Inside, a teaser has confirmed that the Magnite’s dashboard layout and design will be identical to the pre-facelift model. It will, however, get a new black and orange theme with contrasting silver inserts. The Magnite facelift is also expected to get feature additions as part of the midlife update, which is what we’ll be talking about next.

Expected New Features Onboard
