Nissan Magnite, the upcoming subcompact SUV from the Japanese carmaker, is ready to have its world premiere on 21st October, 2020. Ahead of its official debut, the carmaker has released a new teaser video revealing LED headlamps, LED DRLs, faux skid plates, roof rails and alloy wheels of the vehicle. While its official launch date and details are yet to be announced by the company, it’s reported to hit showrooms during this festive season (Diwali, 2020).
The new compact SUV from Nissan has been designed on Renault-Nissan Alliance’s CMF-A+ platform that also underpins the Renault Triber MPV. The latest official and spy pictures confirm that the production-ready version of the vehicle is likely to retain most of the design bits from the concept. The front fascia of the Magnite looks more like a Datsun car. It carries a large hexagonal grille flanked by the new LED headlamp, sporty bumper, LED DRLs and sculpted bonnet.
