Called as the Nissan Magnite EZ-Shift AMT, the prices for this automatic SUV start from INR 6,49,900. However, do note that these are introductory prices valid till 10 November 2023. Interested Magnite customers now have two automatic choices on the SUV. The 1.0-litre NA petrol with AMT or the 1.0-litre turbo petrol with CVT. The 2023 Nissan Magnite AMT is available in XE, XL, XV and XV Premium variants. It is also available in the recently launched Kuro Edition.
Nissan has also launched a new Blue and Black exterior paint shade on the Magnite AMT. Overall, the AMT variant comes with similar features as the regular car as it is available in all the top variants.
The Kuro Edition celebrated Nissan’s partnership with the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. For starters, the Nissan Magnite Kuro special edition gets all-black styling on the outside. The car gets a black grille, skid plate, roof rails and black alloys. In fact, even the headlamps get black finishers and there are special badges as well.
On the inside, the black theme continues as well. Nissan offers a gloss black instrument panel, black interior elements and black door inserts. Some of the features include rear AC vents, centre armrest, a wider IRVM, wireless charger, floor mats, 360-degree camera and more.
