The 2024 Magnite facelift will get a completely new look. Most of the body panels will be the same as before. But the front and rear lighting elements are expected to be updated, as seen in the latest teaser below. The trailer also reveals that deliveries will begin on October 5, a day after the October 4 launch.

A new grille and updated front and rear bumpers are likely. The side profile will remain largely unchanged, although the SUV will feature a new set of alloy wheels. At the rear, the facelifted Magnite is expected to come with updated taillights, tailgate and bumper. Some new color options may also be part of the package.

Inside, the Magnite facelift is likely to get a new color theme for the dashboard. Functional improvements include the addition of a single-pane power sunroof. This is likely to be available in top-spec variants. A larger touchscreen infotainment system with an updated user interface and updated digital cluster is possible. Ventilated front seats are available on top-spec models.

Characteristics to be carried forward

It’s worth noting that despite its affordable price, Magnite offers comprehensive features. Much of this will be carried over from the current model. Key highlights include advanced PM 2.5 filters, steering-integrated audio and instrument controls, rear AC vents and height-adjustable seats.

The Magnite comes with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless charger, premium JBL speakers, ambient lighting and puddle lights. There is an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 7-inch TFT instrument display. Through the NissanConnect app, users can access more than fifty connected car features.

Safety is another reason why many people like Magnite. It received a four-star adult safety rating in the 2022 Global NCAP crash test. Magnite’s security suite is quite comprehensive. Key features include Vehicle Dynamic Control, Hill Start Assist (HSA), traction control system, hydraulic brake assist, rear parking sensors, rear camera with projected guidance, surround view monitor and tire pressure monitoring system. The facelifted model is likely to get some new safety features.

Magnite powertrain options

In terms of performance, the facelifted Magnite will use the same engine options as before. The 1.0-litre NA petrol engine produces a maximum power of 72 PS and a peak torque of 96 Nm. Transmission options include 5MT and 5AMT. The other option is a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine producing 100 horsepower. The torque output of the 5MT gearbox is 160 Nm and the torque output of the CVT gearbox is 152 Nm. The facelifted Nissan Magnite is likely to make its debut during the festive season. In its facelifted version, the Nissan Magnite will continue to compete with rivals such as the Renault Kiger, Hyundai Exter, Tata Punch and others.
