The Nissan Magnite gets a new dual-tone colour option that replaces the Red and Black  option

Nissan has given their sub-compact 4-metre SUV, Magnite a new exterior colour option. This new shade of brown that goes by Tourmaline Brown/Onyx black dual-tone colour shade is slightly different than the monotone Sandstone Brown colour option. This new DT colour option is limited to the XV and XV Premium variants. So, all in all there are now three DT colour options - Vivid Blue with Storm White, Tourmaline Brown with Onyx Black (new), and Pearl White with Onyx Black; and five monotone shades: Blade Silver, Sandstone Brown, Storm White, Onyx Black, and Flare Garnet Red.

Nissan has not given the Magnite any other changes as such. Mechanically, the Magnite continues to be powered by two petrol engine options. The 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine produces 72 Ps and 96 Nm of torque, and it sends power via a 5-speed manual transmission only. Then theres the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine that produces 100 Ps and 160 Nm of torque, and it comes mated to either a 5-speed manual or an optional CVT.
