In terms of its bold fresh styling, The Nissan Magnite’s exterior sets itself apart thanks to a unique design that gives it a confident and agile stance while still appearing vibrant, and it has a dual-tone body colour that gives it a youthful look. The all-LED front light package includes noticeable L-shaped daytime running lights that sit below the stylish slim LED headlamps. Together with the edgy grille, featuring Nissan’s new brand logo, it gives the Nissan Magnite a striking SUV presence. The SUV also boasts electric folding mirrors and 16” Alloy Wheels.

The SUV boasts a spacious layout that includes a high seating position and wide shoulder space between the driver and front passenger. The rear passengers enjoy a spacious level of knee room usually found in larger vehicles. An 8-inch infotainment touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto give the vehicle a premium feel. The boot has 336 litres of cargo space with a 60:40 rear seat split, which makes it easy to pack extra for those longer trips.
