The Nissan Magnite will be powered by a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine that makes 98.63 bhp and 160 Nm of torque and a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol unit that delivers 71.02 bhp of maximum power, along with 96 Nm of peak torque. Both engines will be paired to a five-speed manual transmission.At the front, the new Nissan Magnite gets a trapezoid-shaped grille, which is surrounded by a silver; finished bezel and large L-shaped DRLs.  Below the grille, you get a one-piece black plastic panel and a faux skid plate right below that.

There is a floating-type roof effect, blacked-out ORVMs, gloss back cladding over the wheel arches, chrome handlebars, blacked-out side skirts with silver inserts, and 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.The Magnite gets the roomiest of cabin spaces with several variant-specific features like an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in voice recognition, cruise control,  360-degree cameras, etc.  You get a dual-tone theme with stitched-fabric seats, best-in-class rear knee room and couple seat distance, and an all-digital 7-inch TFT instrument cluster for the driver with fuel economy and fuel history, and graphical tyre pressure monitoring, etc. The Magnite's glovebox - at 10 litres - is the largest in the segment.
