Nissan Magnite Kuro Edition and EZ-Shift: What’s New?

The Magnite Kuro (Japanese for black) edition gets the blacked-out treatment. Nissan has given the subcompact SUV an all-black grille, grille surrounds, roof rails, skid plate, door handles, alloy wheels, and headlight accents. In fact, only the Nissan and Magnite badges, and the red-black calipers are the non-black elements on the exterior.

Moving inside, the all-black theme continues to the roof liner, door trims and handles, steering wheel, sun visors, and AC vent surrounds. The Magnite Kuro edition is based on the top-spec XV trim, meaning it already comes loaded with features like a wireless charger, 360-degree camera, 8-inch infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, six-speaker audio setup, and more.

The Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift brings the AMT gearbox to the lower 1-litre N/A petrol models. This now makes the AMT gearbox available through all variants - XE, XL, XV and XV Premium.
