The chiselled tyke features LED lights, chrome accents and roof rails, plus it comes with several first-in-class and best-in-segment features that such as Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) and an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay. It also comes with diamond-cut 16-inch alloy wheels for added street cred.
Power comes with a one-litre turbo petrol engine – interesting in a segment that favours larger capacity NA units, mated to manual or CVT boxes. This decision to go turbo should give it an edge at the reef, where naturally aspirated rivals will have their performance stunted.
As for safety, Nissan has ticked several boxes with the Magnite with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Traction Control System (TCS), Hill Start Assist (HSA), speed-sensing door lock, central locking and SRS dual airbag system with pretension and load limiter seat
