Nissan has rejigged the standard safety kit of its most popular SUV, the Magnite. It now gets features such as stability control (ESC), hill start assist and a tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS). We expect these updates to come at a premium of around Rs 20,000 for the respective variants.

As standard, the Magnite previously got government-mandated safety equipment – dual front airbags, rear parking sensors and ABS. Now, the carmaker has added stability control (ESC), vehicle dynamic assist, hydraulic brake assist, hill hold assist and TPMS.

Higher-spec variants (XL and up) also add a surround-view camera, reverse parking camera, ISOFIX child-seat mounts and keyless entry. Apart from these features, the Magnite also offers a seven-inch touchscreen, automatic climate control, cruise control and keyless entry with push-button start.

Under the bonnet, the Magnite continues to offer a 72PS 1-litre NA petrol engine and 100PS 1-litre turbo petrol unit, but both engines have been updated to comply with the upcoming BS6 phase II norms. The standard transmission is a five-speed manual and the turbo engine also gets the option of a CVT.
