Nissan successfully launched the Magnite Facelift on October 4th revealing the key changes it made to the SUV to enhance its appeal. It’s currently priced between Rs. 5.99 – 11.50 Lakh and offered in new variants – Visia, Visia+, Acenta, N Connecta, Tekna, and Tekna+. Moreover, the SUV is only available in 2 Engine Options – 1.0 L NA Petrol and 1.0 L Turbo Petrol with Manual and Automatic Transmission Choices.

1. Ventilated Seats
Ventilated seats improve comfort during long drives, especially in hot weather. Their absence might be felt by buyers who prefer enhanced convenience, especially during Indian summers. If Nissan had offered this feature which would’ve been exclusive to top variants only of Magnite, it’s surely would have helped sell in big numbers.
2. No Sunroof
The lack of a sunroof makes the Magnite feel less premium compared to rivals, as many buyers now view this feature as a key requirement, even in budget SUVs. Almost all it’s rivals from Maruti, Tata, Mahindra, Hyundai, Kia, etc. While Mahindra and Tata are offering Panoramic Sunroof with the XUV 3XO and Nexon respectively, a single-pane sunroof would have been a nice feature further enhancing it’s appeal.

3. Powered Driver Seat
Another Big Feature the SUV misses out is the Power Adjustable Driver Seat. Manual seat adjustment persists, missing an opportunity to provide enhanced driving comfort and convenience for drivers who prefer quick, personalized seat positioning.
4. Bigger Infotainment System [10.25-inch]
The infotainment screen remains unchanged, which is 8-inches, while its competitors like the Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO offer larger displays of 10.25-inches with better resolution and features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also helps better to look while parking when 360 Degree Camera is enabled.
5. Bigger Size Alloy Wheels [17-inches]
The Nissan Magnite continues with 16-inch wheels with new design. A shift to 17-inch alloys could have given the SUV a more dynamic stance and improved stability on highways.
