In this detailed article, we explore the key features, design updates, engine specifications, technology advancements, safety features, and more that come with the Nissan Magnite facelift 2024, as well as its pricing structure and how it stacks up against its rivals in the subcompact SUV segment. Launched originally in December 2020, the Nissan Magnite quickly became a game-changer in the Indian automotive market due to its aggressive pricing, bold design, and feature-packed nature. It positioned Nissan as a serious contender in the highly competitive sub-4-meter SUV segment. The 2024 facelift is designed to build on this momentum, bringing in a fresh look and new-age features without compromising its affordability. The Magnite facelift maintains its core philosophy of offering a high value-for-money proposition but now comes with updates that align with the evolving preferences of Indian buyers, who demand style, safety, technology, and performance in an affordable package. Nissan has launched the Magnite facelift at a starting price of ₹5.99 lakh, which remains competitive compared to its peers like the Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Renault Kiger. The pricing structure varies depending on the variant and the engine-transmission combination chosen. The facelifted Magnite is available in multiple trims, offering both petrol and turbo-petrol engine options, as well as manual and CVT automatic transmission choices. XE Base Variant (₹5.99 lakh): The entry-level variant, offering essential features while maintaining a low price point. XL and XV Mid-Level Variants (Price varies): These variants add more comfort, convenience, and tech features, including touchscreen infotainment, rear camera, and more. XV Premium Top-End Variant (Price varies): The fully-loaded variant, offering advanced features such as premium upholstery, a digital instrument cluster, and more safety and tech enhancements. Despite the updates, Nissan has kept the pricing competitive, making the Magnite facelift a solid choice for first-time buyers and those looking to upgrade to a feature-rich compact SUV. The 2024 Nissan Magnite facelift features subtle yet impactful design updates that give it a refreshed look while retaining the bold and aggressive stance that buyers appreciated in the previous model. Nissan has enhanced the styling to keep the Magnite in line with modern trends, while also improving aerodynamics and practicality. One of the most noticeable changes in the Magnite facelift is the redesigned front grille. The grille is now larger and features a more pronounced chrome surround, giving the SUV a more premium and aggressive look. The signature Nissan V-motion grille continues to dominate the front end, but it now sports a sleeker, more refined appearance. The headlights have also been updated, now featuring full LED units with new LED DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) that give the front profile a sharp, modern look. The bumper has been slightly reworked, with improved air intakes and fog lamp housing, further enhancing the SUV’s sporty appearance. The side profile of the Magnite facelift remains largely unchanged, but Nissan has introduced new alloy wheel designs for a more premium look. The sharp body lines and cladding around the wheel arches give the Magnite its robust SUV-like stance. The roof rails and blacked-out pillars continue to add to its sporty and dynamic appeal.
