The Nissan Magnite entered the subcompact SUV space in India in December 2020 and has received minor updates over time, but awaits its first facelift. Recently, we got our first unofficial peek at the Magnite facelift, parked with partial covering at the Bharat NCAP crash test facility, while the Tata Punch EV was undergoing testing. Here’s what we could make out of it.

Subtle Changes On The Front

We spotted only half of the front fascia of the Magnite facelift, suggesting that the changes will be mild. It appears to feature a revised front grille, a tweaked front bumper, and updated headlight housing. The L-shaped DRLs on the front appear identical to those on the current version of the Magnite.

Though Nissan will retain the current silhouette of the Magnite SUV, its facelifted version could get redesigned alloy wheels, as well as updated tail lights and rear bumper.

We have not yet had a peek into the cabin of the Magnite facelift that hints at any major changes to the layout, but it is expected to receive new interior trims and updated seat upholstery. In terms of features, it is expected to get new features like ventilated front seats, and probably a single-pane sunroof. It will continue to come with features like an 8-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch digital driver display, and the wireless phone charging.

The safety kit of the Magnite facelift could include six airbags as standard, while it will continue to get a 360-degree camera, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.

Same Powertrain Options

The Nissan Magnite facelift will likely continue with the same engine and transmission options as the current model. Their specifications have been detailed below:
