Nissan has officially launched the all-new Magnite in the Middle East, marking the region as the first global market to receive the left-hand-drive (LHD) version of the compact SUV.

- 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Remote engine start
- Air ionizer for cleaner cabin air
- Cooled glovebox for added convenience
Under the hood, the Magnite is powered by a turbocharged 1.0-liter engine, delivering 100 PS and 152 Nm of torque, ensuring a responsive and fuel-efficient drive.
On the safety front, Nissan has equipped the Magnite with an array of advanced safety features, including:
- Around-View Monitor for a 360-degree perspective
- ABS with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) for enhanced stability
- Auto Headlamps for improved visibility
- 3-point seatbelts for all passengers
- Side curtain airbags for added protection
Urban Explorers
Built to cater to modern, ambitious drivers, the Magnite combines agility, efficiency, and comfort for a smooth city driving experience. With a spacious cabin that comfortably seats five passengers, the SUV blends practicality with a stylish presence, making it the ideal companion for urban commutes and weekend getaways.
Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President & President – Nissan Middle East, KSA, CIS, and INFINITI, said, 'Following the success of the Nissan Patrol and KICKS, we are thrilled to introduce the all-new Magnite to the region. This compact SUV embodies Nissan’s best—dynamic design, Japanese engineering, and global accessibility. The Magnite strengthens our leadership in the segment and showcases our commitment to offering modern, practical mobility solutions worldwide.'
Adib Takieddine, Managing Director of Nissan Saudi Arabia, said, 'The all-new Magnite is more than just a mode of transportation—it’s a bold statement on the road. Designed for customers who seek an affordable yet feature-packed SUV, the Magnite delivers an unmatched tech-to-value ratio, redefining the compact SUV segment in the region.'
Manufactured at Nissan’s Alliance Plant in Chennai (RNAIPL), India, the Magnite has already gained massive popularity, with over 150,000 units sold since its launch in December 2020. Initially exported to 20 countries, the expansion of left-hand-drive production now enables Nissan to export the Magnite to over 65 markets, beginning with the Middle East.
