Japanese auto giant Nissan has released a teaser image of its upcoming B-SUV, ahead of its launch in the company's home country on July 16.

It will be the automaker's smallest SUV and be marketed as Magnite compact SUV in India.

Exteriors

Nissan Magnite: At a glance

The upcoming Nissan Magnite SUV will have a crossover-like silhouette, and get dual-tone body colors. It will also sport a chrome-covered octagonal grille and a muscular bonnet with sculpted lines. On the sides, the SUV will be flanked by thick blackened wheel arches, claddings, and alloy wheels wrapped in off-road tires. For lighting, there will be stretched LED headlamps with L-shaped DRLs.

Interiors

A peek inside the cabin

Not much is known about the interiors of the upcoming Nissan Magnite SUV. However, it should get a luxurious cabin with automatic climate control, and a multifunctional power steering wheel with buttons mounted on it. For connectivity, a touchscreen infotainment panel with support for connected car technology is also likely. There should be multiple airbags and a 360-degree parking camera for safety.

Engine

Power and performance

The Nissan Magnite will get two BS6-compliant engine options- a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder, BR10 petrol, and a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder, HR10 turbo-petrol. The former will generate 72hp/96Nm, and come mated to a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, and an AMT gearbox as optional. The latter will churn out 95hp and should be coupled to a five-speed manual or a CVT automatic transmission gearbox.

The upcoming Nissan Magnite sub-compact SUV should carry a price-tag of around Rs. 5.25 lakh for the entry-level model. Further, the turbo-petrol variant coupled to a CVT automatic transmission gearbox will be priced below Rs. 6 lakh (ex-showroom).
