The 2025 Nissan Magnite Facelift will maintain its mechanical integrity while featuring some cosmetic updates.
Nissan is unveiling teasers of the Magnite facelift in anticipation of its launch on October 4. Traditionally, Nissan has focused on manufacturing and exporting right-hand-drive (RHD) models. However, with the upcoming facelift, the company is set to expand its production and export capabilities to include left-hand-drive (LHD) versions.

Nissan Magnite Facelift : New Updates
The updates to the Magnite are anticipated to be relatively minor. Spy shots suggest that the Magnite facelift will feature a revamped front bumper and grille. Additionally, it could see reprofiling of the headlamps with new LED daytime running lamp designs. The brand has also teased a new diamond-cut alloy wheel design.
While the interior has not yet been reviewed, sources indicate that changes will be limited to new trim pieces, with the overall dashboard expected to remain largely unchanged. There may also be the addition of some new features.
Nissan Magnite Facelift to Remain Mechanically Unchanged
The current 1.0-liter petrol engines will remain unchanged: the 72hp, 96Nm naturally aspirated model and the 100hp, 160Nm turbocharged version. The 5-speed manual and AMT transmissions, along with the CVT gearboxes, will also be retained as they are.
Upon its launch, the Nissan Magnite facelift is poised to remain one of the most budget-friendly compact SUVs in India, alongside its French counterpart, the Renault Kiger. Key competitors in this segment include the Maruti Fronx and Tata Punch at the lower end, and the Hyundai Venue and Tata Nexon at the higher end.
