Here’s what the teasers have divulged about the Magnite facelift till now:

Nissan Magnite facelift: Overview

Given that it is a facelift, and not a new-generation model, we don’t expect the styling to be brand new. Expect a very similar exterior design with tweaks all over, which will give the Magnite a fresher look. 

Spy shots have confirmed that the silhouette will be the same and the teasers have hinted at a new grille design, along with fresh alloy wheels as well. The rear will also get new elements in the form of the already-teased tail light design, which seems to be slightly tweaked over the outgoing model. There will also be a new orange hue on offer. 

As for the cabin, it seems like the overall design is going to be similar to the outgoing model, but with a new dual-tone black and orange theme, contrasted by silver panels. Apart from the new theme, it could also get a bigger infotainment system and digital driver’s display. 

Existing kit, including wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a JBL sound system, keyless entry, ambient lighting, an air purifier, cruise control, steering mounted audio controls and a wireless phone charge should be carried over without any change. Its safety kit could boast 6 airbags as standard, along with other equipment like ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC) and 360-degree parking camera with sensors. 

We don’t expect any revisions in the powertrain department. So the existing 72PS / 96Nm 1-litre naturally aspirated engine, and 100 PS / up to 160 Nm 1-litre turbo-petrol engine should make up the engine options. A 5-speed MT and AMT with the NA petrol, and 5-speed MT and a CVT gearbox with the turbo-petrol are likely to be the transmissions on offer.

We expect the facelift to carry a slight premium over the outgoing model, which is sold from Rs 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards. The Magnite will continue to rival the Tata Punch, Toyota Taisor, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Fronx, Hyundai Exter, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Kia Sonet, Renault Kiger, Mahindra XUV 3XO and Citroen Basalt.
