Nissan Magnite Facelift: Design and Features
The leaked images of the new Magnite reveal that the compact SUV gets a new set of bumpers on both sides and a new grille that enhances its muscular appeal. Additionally, it has a more chrome treatment with glossy black inserts, headlamps, and LED DRLs. The lighting units have not changed much and are the same as its predecessor. Coming at the rear, the taillights also have the same design as the current model, but we expect them to have some distinct elements to exhibit a new look.
In terms of features, the Magnite facelift features a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and a 7-inch digital driver's display. The overall dashboard layout remains the same as well.
Nissan Magnite Facelift: Powertrain
The Nissan Magnite facelift will get the same engine options that are on offer with the current model. These include a 1-litre naturally aspirated engine and a 1-litre turbo petrol engine. The 1 litre NA generates 72 PS and 96 Nm while the 1 litre turbo petrol unit makes 100 PS and 160 Nm. For transmission duties, it will get a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox for the naturally aspirated while the turbo petrol variant gets a 5-speed manual or a CVT gearbox.

Verdict
The upcoming Nissan Magnite facelift seems like a solid refresh, offering enhanced design and features while keeping the proven powertrain options. While the new look adds appeal, the lack of major changes to the lighting and rear design may leave some wanting more. Overall, its a good update, but not revolutionary for the segment.
