- Nissan Magnite Kuro edition India launch soon
- Other than the black finish outside and inside, no changes expected
Nissan Magnite Kuro exterior teased
Blacked-out alloy wheels, black paint can be seen in the teaser
So far, Nissan India has teased the exterior of the new Magnite Kuro, shown finished in all black, from the roof rails to the 16-inch alloy wheels. No other design-based changes are expected on this compact SUV.
Nissan Magnite Kuro interior and features expected
Interior details not available yet, but expected to be based on top-spec Magnite Tekna variants
The roof liner, sun visors, door handles, steering wheel and AC vent surrounds are expected to get a blacked-out treatment, just like its predecessor. Considering the original Magnite Kuro edition was based on the higher-spec trims, it is likely that the new model will be based on the Tekna variants.
Additionally, the new Magnite Kuro is likely to share its feature list and safety kit with the range-topping variants, which means it is expected to come with a 7-inch digital driver’s display, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 6-speaker sound system tuned by Arkamys, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, auto headlights, cruise control, ambient lighting, 6 airbags, 3-point seat belts for all passengers, Isofix anchors, ABS, traction control, a tyre pressure monitor, hill-start assist and a 360-degree camera.
Nissan Magnite Kuro engine and gearbox options
Could be offered only with the 100hp turbo-petrol engine
Like its predecessor, the new Nissan Magnite Kuro is likely to be offered with the 100hp 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, which gets 5-speed manual and CVT options. The standard Magnite is also available with a 72hp 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine, which gets 5-speed manual and AMT options.
We expect Magnite Kuro edition prices to be slightly higher than the variant it is based on. Stay tuned to know more.
