The popular Nissan Magnite Kuro edition is making a return, bringing its distinctive all-black theme back to the compact SUV segment.
What is the Magnite Kuro Edition?
The term “Kuro” is Japanese for black, and this special edition lives up to its name by offering a complete blacked-out aesthetic. This includes a sleek black exterior combined with an equally dark interior package, giving the Magnite a bold and stealthy appearance.
This edition is based on the recently facelifted Magnite and is expected to retain the successful formula from its previous iteration. It will be available on the top-spec variant, ensuring buyers get all the premium features alongside the unique styling.
Feature-Packed and Stylish
Opting for the Kuro edition means you’ll enjoy a host of modern features already present in the Magnite’s top trim. This includes practical additions like a 360-degree camera system, which makes parking and maneuvering in tight spots much easier.
For connectivity and convenience, the Magnite Kuro will offer wireless phone mirroring and wireless charging. Comfort is also considered with a height-adjustable driver’s seat, allowing for a customized driving position. The full LED light package ensures excellent visibility and adds to the vehicle’s modern look.
Engine Choices for Every Drive
The Magnite Kuro edition won’t limit your powertrain options, catering to different driving preferences. You can choose between two reliable petrol engines.
The 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers 71 horsepower and 96 Nm of torque, ideal for city commutes. This engine is paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission).
For those seeking more spirited performance, the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine is available. It produces a more robust 99 horsepower and 160 Nm of torque. This turbocharged option comes with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a smooth CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).
Setting the Stage for Nissan’s Future
The reintroduction of the Magnite Kuro edition is more than just a special release; it’s the first such offering for the Magnite facelift since its debut in October 2024. It also signals Nissan’s broader plans for the Indian market.
This launch is anticipated to pave the way for exciting new models in the pipeline. Nissan has plans to introduce a Triber-based MPV and an all-new C-SUV, both scheduled to arrive in the first half of 2026, expanding its presence in key segments.
