Nissan has taken the wraps off the Magnite sub compact SUV which will rival the likes of Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and Maruti Vitara Brezza among others.
Nissan Magnite has been unveiled globally, but will first enter the Indian market. It is the brand’s brand new subcompact SUV and will be launched in the coming months. The features and engine specifications have also been revealed and this will be the production-ready version itself of the SUV. Technically, now we only have to wait for its pricing and variants list.
Nissan Magnite looks unique and is a mixed bag of traditional styling with modern cues. Also, what we can see here is that there are some European styling cues taken as well. Some elements inside the cabin are taken up from Triber. The front grille ditches the traditional V-Grille and is now better in terms of design.
