The Tech Pack will comprise a wireless charger, air purifier, ambient mood lighting, puddle lamps, and high-end speakers. Apart from these, Nissan has equipped the subcompact SUV with several segment-first features. These include an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a fully digital instrument cluster with 7-inch TFT display, automatic AC, rear AC vents, steering mounted controls, cruise control, push-button stop/start, tyre pressure monitoring system, and a flat-bottom steering.

"The upcoming launch of the All-New Nissan Magnite is a symbol of  Nissan’s commitment to the Indian market for the discerning customers," commented Rakesh Srivastava, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India on the announcement of the launch date. 

Under the bonnet, the upcoming Nissan Magnite will feature two petrol engine options.
