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

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.
