NISSAN MAGNITE

The 2026 Nissan Magnite (facelift) is a sub‑4‑metre compact SUV made in India, offered as a 5‑seater across 7 trims — Visia, Visia Plus, Acenta, N-Connecta, Kuro Edition, Tekna, Tekna Plus — with a wide matrix of 1.0L NA petrol, 1.0L turbo petrol, and factory CNG combined with MT, AMT and CVT transmissions. The facelift adds a larger grille with L‑shaped LED DRLs, reshaped bumpers with faux skid plate, new 7‑spoke alloys, a dual‑tone copper‑and‑black interior, updated 7‑inch digital instrument cluster, Type‑C USB ports, auto headlamps, auto‑dimming IRVM, and six airbags standard on all variants.

Trim & Transmission Lineup (Variants)

> Note: Public data lists fewer variants (18–22) for the facelift; the exact 49‑SKU breakdown by fuel/transmission/dual‑tone is not fully published. The matrix below reflects all powertrain types by trim and typical market availability, extrapolated from current Magnite data. Where exact variant names are not listed by sources, they are grouped generically (e.g. “NA MT Dual‑Tone”).

Engines (common across trims)

• 1.0L NA petrol B4D: 999 cc, 72 hp (53 kW), 96 Nm, 3‑cyl, DOHC, multi‑point injection
• 1.0L turbo petrol HRA0: 999 cc, 99–100 hp (74 kW), 160 Nm (MT), ~152 Nm (CVT)
• 1.0L NA petrol + CNG: same engine, tuned for bi‑fuel, manual only (output typically ~68 hp / 90 Nm in CNG mode — inferred from segment norms).
• Drivetrain: Front‑wheel drive (FWD) on all variants.
• Steering: Electric power steering rack; turning radius ~5.0 m (segment typical; current data lists ~5.0–5.1 m).

Variant matrix by trim

Key

• NA MT = 1.0 NA petrol, 5‑speed manual
• NA AMT = 1.0 NA petrol, 5‑speed AMT
• Turbo MT = 1.0 turbo petrol, 5‑speed manual
• Turbo CVT = 1.0 turbo petrol, CVT (X‑Tronic)
• CNG MT = 1.0 NA petrol bi‑fuel CNG, 5‑speed manual

Core powertrain availability

> The above table aligns with published trim/powertrain pairings (Visia/Visia+/Acenta with NA petrol; turbo from N‑Connecta upwards; CVT offered on Acenta, N‑Connecta, Tekna, Tekna Plus). CNG data is partial in sources and extended by inference from the listed “Visia CNG” and general range coverage.

Dimensions

Current data for Magnite (2026) matches the pre‑facelift platform; facelift changes are largely cosmetic, so dimensions remain effectively identical.

> CNG variants carry an under‑floor/tank installation that slightly reduces effective cargo volume and modestly increases kerb weight versus petrol‑only versions (inferred from typical OEM practice).

Available Colors

Public data lists standard colors, dual‑tone options and the Kuro Edition exclusive shade; the full trim‑by‑color map is not fully enumerated in sources and is completed using typical Nissan India marketing patterns (higher trims + special edition get widest palette).

Color palette

• Blade Silver (monotone)
• Flare Garnet Red (monotone)
• Kuro Black — Kuro Edition exclusive
• Onyx Black (monotone)
• Pearl White (monotone)
• Storm White (monotone; slightly different tone from Pearl, carried over)
• Sunrise Cooper Orange (monotone; facelift highlight color)
• Metallic Grey (monotone; new for 2026)
• Blade Silver / Onyx Black roof (dual‑tone)
• Flare Garnet Red / Onyx Black roof (dual‑tone)
• Pearl White / Onyx Black roof (dual‑tone)
• Sunrise Cooper Orange / Onyx Black roof (dual‑tone)

Colors by trim

> Entry trims (Visia/Visia Plus) typically offer fewer dual‑tone combinations; dual‑tone is widely available from Acenta upward, with Tekna/Tekna Plus carrying the full palette.

Engine & Powertrain Comparison

Engine types

Transmission options by engine & trim

Fuel efficiency (ARAI)

Published ARAI figures for the Magnite line‑up (pre‑ and early‑facelift, which carry over due to unchanged powertrains)

• 1.0 NA petrol MT: ~19.4 km/l
• 1.0 NA petrol AMT: ~19.7 km/l
• 1.0 turbo petrol MT: ~20 km/l (approx; earlier spec ranges from ~19.4–20 km/l)
• 1.0 turbo petrol CVT: 17.9 km/l
• 1.0 NA petrol CNG MT: typically around 22–24 km/kg (segment norm; official ARAI figure not widely published yet).

Naturally‑aspirated vs turbocharged

• The NA B4D engine prioritizes affordability and linear power delivery, best suited for city use and light highway driving; paired with MT or AMT, it offers good efficiency (~19–20 km/l).
• The turbo HRA0 engine delivers stronger performance, especially in the mid‑range, making the Magnite feel more responsive on highways; MT variants are the most efficient (~20 km/l), while CVT offers smoother drive with slightly lower rated efficiency (~17.9 km/l).
• CNG caters to cost‑conscious and fleet buyers, trading some performance for significantly lower running costs and higher km/kg.

This gives a variant‑wise view of the 2026 Nissan Magnite in India: all seven trims across NA, turbo, and CNG powertrains, plus the key facelift updates, dimensions, colors and feature distribution, without any pricing content.
