Nissan has introduced a new 1.0-litre turbocharged engine across the Middle East, delivering a balance of spirited performance, smooth drivability, and fuel efficiency. The new powertrain makes its regional debut under the hood of the Nissan Magnite.
Nissan Magnite has achieved a 5-star overall safety rating from the Global New Car Assessment Program (GNCAP), making it one of the safest choices in its segment. The compact SUV scored a perfect 5 stars for adult occupant protection and 3 stars for child occupant protection.
Following its debut in India in October 2024, Nissan has announced the launch of the all-new Nissan Magnite in the Middle East, making it the first region globally to receive the left-hand-drive model. The compact SUV was officially introduced at an event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and also recently made its debut in the UAE.
Japanese automaker Nissan has unveiled the “new” Nissan Magnite sub-compact SUV in New Delhi, the capital of India. The Magnite has been highly popular in the South Asian country, having sold over 150,000 units since its launch in 2020. Nissan aims to continue this success by introducing the new model and has also announced plans to launch a left-hand drive version for additional markets. This move will increase Magnite exports from Nissan’s world-class Chennai plant from 20 right-hand drive markets to more than 65 countries, including the UAE, KSA, and South Africa, thereby realizing Nissan’s “One Car, One World” strategy for the crossover.
Emerging markets like India love small vehicles, given the tax benefits provided to cars shorter than 4 metres. Thus the “Compact SUV” market in India is flooded with pint-sized SUVs like the Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet. Now, Nissan has jumped into this segment with the Nissan Magnite, the brand’s smallest SUV.
