Nissan Magnite Kuro Edition launched at Rs 8.27 lakh: Gets blacked-out interior, exterior

Nissan has launched Magnite Kuro Edition, an all-black variant of its popular compact SUV, at a starting price of Rs 8.27 lakh, ex-showroom. The company commenced the bookings on September 14, 2023, at a token amount of Rs 11,000. The special edition is based on the higher-spec XV trim, including the XV MT, Turbo XV MT, and Turbo XV CVT. The word ‘Kuro’ means ‘Black’ in Japan, the homeland of the manufacturer.
While the SUV remains unchanged mechanically, it does get cosmetic updates in the form of blacked out exterior and interiors. The Magnite Kuro features an all-black grill, skid plate, roof rails, alloys, and headlamps with black finisher, and KURO badging.

Under the hood, the Magnite Kuro edition gets two engine options – a 1.0-litre petrol engine that makes 72 hp and 96 Nm and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol mill that belts out 100 hp and 160 Nm of peak torque. Both engines can be had with a 5-speed manual as standard. Although, the turbo-petrol will also be available with a CVT.
Besides that, the car boasts of upgrades such as 360-degree Around View Monitor (AVM), center console armrest with rear AC vents, KURO-themed floor mats, wireless charger, and Wider IRVM for added convenience and style. In terms of safety, the Nissan Magnite has received a 4-Star Safety Rating for Adult Occupant Safety from Global NCAP and gets Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS), Hill Start Assist (HSA), and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Notably, the Nissan Magnite is exported to 15 global markets, with recent launches in Seychelles, Bangladesh, Uganda, and Brunei.
