However, right now it's the only Nissan car on sale in India.
Earlier this year, the automaker updated the Magnite to meet the BS6 Stage 2 norms. The updated version boasts new safety features that are standard across all variants. Moreover, the Magnite has also received an impressive 4-star safety rating from Global NCAP.
