[Auto] The Nissan Magnite lands in India to sweep the A-SUV segment

[#Steeven.™]

The SUV segment is being the refuge for many of the manufacturers in the automotive sector. We have gone from seeing brands that bet on diversifying their offer to, in five years, "put all the eggs in it." Nissan is one of the largest variety offered to the public, but the market drift has forced them to focus on the latter. Luckily they work commercially and it has not taken them much to adapt.

Just look at the evolution that the Nissan X-Trail or Qashqai are experiencing in regions such as Europe or the US. However, there are areas that are also experiencing growth in demand so far not known. India is one of these cases and in order not to lose step they have decided to create a product thinking about the needs of these customers. Thus, the Nissan Magnite was born, a model that we have already told you about.

The Nissan Magnite follows the aesthetic code of the new Rogue

Well, after a brief preview in the form of a prototype, comes the official presentation of the Nissan Magnite. If we take a look at the images they have distributed, we can see that their image follows the aesthetic code that we saw in the new Rogue. However, it has a front grill that has nothing to do with the Japanese firm's products. What's more, its appearance brings it closer to the models of the, about to disappear, Datsun.

However, the Magnite cannot be classified as a low cost product. This can be seen in elements such as the headlights with LED technology or the elegant chrome that extend across the bodywork. On the side it has muscular lines while flowing, as seen in the wheel arches or falling from the roof. To offer a more dynamic image, it has a contrasting black roof or very attractive wheels.

The rear has simple lines although not lacking in personality. This can be seen in the format and arrangement of its optical groups or gate format. It stands out, above all, for the lines of the rear bumper and the chrome diffuser that surrounds the license plate holder. As a practical complement, there are elegant roof bars or a ground clearance of 20.5 centimeters.

Inside the Nissan Magnite stands out for its successful design or high technological level. Thus, it stands out for offering a 7-inch configurable digital instrument panel or 8-inch central touch screen. Nor does it leave behind a wireless smartphone charger or JBL premium sound system. At the security level, it includes a 360-degree vision monitor to avoid reaching obstacles when maneuvering.

 

Magnite mechanical offer for India

As for the mechanical supply, the Nissan Magnite has two gasoline blocks. The least powerful is a naturally aspirated 1.0-liter with 72 hp and 5-speed manual transmission. The range is completed by a 1.0 Turbo with three cylinders that delivers 95 hp and a CVT automatic transmission. The Magnite will go on sale in India early next year as the Japanese company's product momentum continues.
