Nissan Magnite Kuro Edition Teased; Launch Imminent

Nissan India is all set to launch the Kuro Edition of the facelifted Magnite in the Indian market. The company has also dropped a teaser for the same. ‘Kuro’, which means black in Japanese, is essentially a special-edition version of the subcompact SUV, centred around a black theme. The Kuro Edition is expected to be based on the top-spec Tekna Plus trim, while remaining mechanically identical. This variant will also carry a slight premium over the standard version.

Visually, the new model will be finished in a black shade and likely feature a range of blacked-out exterior elements. For reference, the older model featured a black grille, grille surrounds, roof rails, door handles, alloy wheels and window accents, in addition to red brake calipers. While the interior layout will remain identical to the standard model, it will likely get all-black upholstery and trims.
