Nissan Magnite facelift front fascia partially leaked

The Magnite facelift can be seen in the Tata Punch.ev crash test video released by Bharat NCAP.

The Nissan Magnite is due for a midlife makeover. Spy images of camouflaged prototypes are all over the internet. Now, for the first time, the updated crossover has been partially leaked.

The Magnite facelift can be seen in the Tata Punch.ev crash test video released by Bharat NCAP. You can see the car parked in the background at the 1 min 50 sec mark. 

A close look at the leaked image reveals a new front grille and headlamps that form a single visual unit. The headlamps seem to have been reprofiled and have a sharper look than before, while the L-shaped LED DRLs have been carried over unchanged. A silver faux skid plate is also visible in the image.

The Magnite is likely to receive a few updates on the interior as well. We’ve been told it will get a redesigned dashboard and offer additional features such as a single-pane sunroof and 6 airbags.

The Magnite facelift is expected to be offered with the same set of engines as the current model. It includes a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit. The naturally aspirated engine is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT, while the turbocharged engine gets a 5-speed manual and CVT option.
