They’ve tweaked the elements within the head- and tail lights, made the grille a little bigger, replaced the wheels with new dual tone alloys, slightly revised the bumpers and called it a day.

Nissan has also added a new hue to its colour palette, namely Sunrise Copper Orange.

The cabin too is similar to the outgoing model, save for the new dual tone theme which makes use of black and orange shades. Other than that, the steering now gets Piano Black elements and the door pads have silver elements, both of which add a dash of contrast. Apart from the new theme, the major touchpoints of the cabin, like the dashboard and door pads now get soft touch leatherette materials.

As for the features, it now gets ambient lighting, auto IRVM, along with its existing features like cruise control, an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital instrument display, air purifier, and keyless entry with push-button start. Its safety kit comprises ABS with EBD, a 360-degree camera, rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitor and electronic stability control.

2024 Nissan Magnite Facelift: Powertrain

The sense of familiarity continues in the powertrain department as it retains both of the outgoing model’s engine options. So 72PS 1-litre NA petrol can be had with a 5-speed MT or a 5-speed AMT, while the 100PS 1.0-litre turbo-petrol motor gets the option of a 5-speed MT or CVT.
