Nissan's Magnite SUV just scored a top 5-Star rating in the new Global NCAP crash tests.
The updated model was tested with different safety features, and this is an upgrade from its earlier 4-Star score.

Breakdown of the Magnite's safety ratings

Not all Magnites are equal: the base version with just two airbags and no ESC only managed 2 Stars.
The mid variant, with six airbags and ESC, bumped up to 4 Stars.
An improved model hit the full 5 Stars for adult safety, though child safety scores were a bit lower.
