THE NEW NISSAN MAGNITE SPEAKS TO NISSAN’S RELENTLESS CROSSOVER SPIRIT OF INNOVATION AND STYLE
Rosslyn, South Africa – It’s been a year since Nissan launched its latest global compact crossover innovation called Nissan MAGNITE, a compact SUV and true reflection of the commitment towards the expansion of the Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) offering, which prioritises the crossover segment within the Sub Sharan market. It’s also a proof point of the Nissan Next transformational plan, offering customers exciting new-to-the-market vehicles across the complete line-up.
Nissan MAGNITE is currently available in Mauritius, Seychelles, Malawi, Kenya, Mozambique, Uganda and Tanzania.
The crossover and SUV segment are also the fastest-growing vehicle categories and although local motorists are passionate about practical pickups, the crossover segment is the fastest growing category, worldwide. Further to that, Nissan is aware that more consumers are turning to SUVs and crossovers when considering their next vehicles for a number of reasons, ranging from higher ground clearance, practicality, comfort and style as well as enabling more adventure for long road trips.
True to Nissan’s global SUV DNA of advanced technology, the Nissan MAGNITE comes fully-loaded with numerous first-in-class and best-in-segment features that will provide customers with a differentiated, innovative and accessible experience. It features latest technology as a part of Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM), Nissan’s vision of how vehicles are powered, driven and integrated into every day life. This includes an impressive 8-inch full flush touch screen with best-in-class wireless Android Auto™ & Apple CarPlay® compatible with the latest smart devices to ensure every journey is a first-class experience.
Built for those who take charge of every journey, the car has the sleekest headlamps assembly in its class with lightsaber-style turn indicators, while its L-shape LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL’s - optional) and dominating front grille is unlike any other design in the B-SUV segment. When it comes to the interiors, the all-new Nissan MAGNITE has achieved the best level of packaging and seating comfort.
Nissan has a proven history of innovation when it comes to all-terrain travel and carving out new product segments. As a leader in the first crossover with the QASHQAI in 2006, now in 2022 it is quite common to see a wide selection of crossovers to fit different consumer needs, taste for adventure, family sizes and more.
A first in its segment, the all-new Nissan MAGNITE is also equipped with one of Nissan’s top driver confidence technologies, the Around View Monitor (AVM), which gives the driver a virtual bird’s eye view from above the vehicle to make conquering the urban jungle, a breeze.
With high strength and impact absorbing efficient body structure, the MAGNITE is equipped with safety features such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Traction Control System (TCS), Hill Start Assist (HSA), speed sensing door lock, central locking and SRS dual airbag system with pretension and load limiter seatbelt for driver and passenger.
Since it launched globally, the Nissan MAGNITE has already received a few accolades including ‘Top Gear India compact SUV of the year’ and Autocar India ‘Value for Money Car of the Year’ award.
A feature-rich premium vehicle with a stylish design for a strong and dynamic road presence, Nissan Africa is excited to see how the future of the Nissan MAGNITE continues to surprise and delight in Sub Sharan Africa.
