Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Nissan Saudi Arabia is proud to spotlight the All-New Nissan Magnite, a confident and intelligent compact SUV that blends cutting-edge design, practical innovation, and Japanese engineering. Built to meet the evolving expectations of modern drivers, the All-New Nissan Magnite delivers an unmatched tech-to-value offering, combining best-in-class features with comfort, safety, and striking aesthetics.

A Strategic Milestone in the All-New Magnite’s Global Journey

As the first left-hand-drive (LHD) market globally to receive the All-New Magnite, Saudi Arabia underscores its strategic role in Nissan’s global product rollout. Manufactured in Chennai, India, the Magnite has gained recognition for its blend of design, functionality, and innovation. This milestone reflects the Kingdom’s growing importance as a launchpad for customer-centric products and regional leadership. The All-New Magnite’s strong global reception demonstrates its broad appeal across diverse markets, while its debut in Saudi Arabia reaffirms Nissan’s long-term commitment to the Kingdom.

Designed for the City, Built for Ambition

With its dynamic design, confident SUV stance, and imposing front grille, the All-New Nissan Magnite exudes confidence and is perfectly tailored for urban environments. Signature elements like LED bi-projector headlamps, sleek turn indicators, and a high 203mm ground clearance reinforce its road presence.

Its elevated driving position offers a wide and best-in-class 35-degree field of view, further enhanced by a high command seating position that provides clear visibility boosting driver confidence and ease of access. Meanwhile, Electronic Power Steering and a compact 5.0m turning radius ensure agile handling in tight city spaces. The suspension system features a Mac Pherson strut with a solid front stabilizer bar and grip bush, paired with double-acting shock absorbers, delivering balanced ride quality and enhanced control. An anti-roll bar further improves cornering stability at higher speeds by minimizing body roll, enhancing driver confidence during dynamic driving conditions. Complemented by front disc and rear drum brakes and advanced stability technologies, the Magnite offers a well-rounded driving experience, equally at home in dense urban settings or on open roads. Its well-proportioned design is underpinned by a 2,500 mm wheelbase, with overall dimensions measuring 3,999 mm in length, 1,758 mm in width, and 1,572 mm in height, offering a compact yet confident presence that’s ideal for modern city driving.

The compact SUV also boasts standout exterior features such as the Bi-fuctional projector LED headlamps with wider beam coverage, signature LED L-shaped daytime running lights paired with lightsaber-style turn signals, LED fog lamps for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, and distinctive Japanese inspired 3D honeycomb gradient-effect LED tail lamps. Bold diamond-cut 16-inch alloy wheels, square wheel arches, and a floating skid plate add to its rugged, sporty aesthetic, while functional roof rails with a 50kg of class leading load capacity offer added practicality. To reflect their style, drivers can choose from a palette of 13 exterior color combinations, including five striking dual-tone options.

Comfort, Convenience, and Cabin Innovation

Inside, the Magnite offers exceptional comfort with generous front shoulder space and class-leading rear knee room — referred to as the ‘couple distance.’ The cabin is designed to reflect both function and personal expression, featuring premium materials and advanced features that elevate comfort, convenience, and personal space. A 360-degree leatherette pack creates a seamless, upscale feel throughout the cabin, covering key touchpoints such as seat upholstery, door trim, wrapped dashboard, hand brake lever, steering wheel, and armrests, enhancing both the tactile and visual experience. Practical details like a standard 60:40 split rear seat with integrated armrest and cupholders, and a boot space of 336 liters, expandable to 690 liters, ensure flexibility, comfort, and everyday usability. The cabin also offers over 19 liters of smart storage space across compartments including a cooled glovebox, making it easy to keep essentials organized and within reach.

The interior boasts MODURE leatherette quilted seats with contrast stitching and Heat Guard technology for added comfort, complemented by continuous multi-color ambient lighting, a class leading feature that allows occupants to personalize the cabin atmosphere to match any mood. The Magnite also features the largest bezel-less auto-dimming IRVM in its segment, offering an unexpectedly spacious experience for a compact SUV.

Passenger comfort is further enhanced with thoughtful features such as a cooled glovebox, Auto AC, and rear AC vents, all designed to maintain an ideal cabin environment. Taking in-cabin wellness to the next level, the All-New Magnite is equipped with a - Plasma Cluster Ionizer, which actively removes pollutants, odors, and germs. This advanced system improves the air quality index (AQI) from 400 to 30 in just 20 minutes, while eliminating bacteria, airborne mold, and suppressing the activity of adhering to viruses, bacteria, and allergens, ensuring a healthier, more refreshing ride for all occupants.

Technology takes center stage with an intuitive 8-inch floating touchscreen supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, seamlessly integrated with a 7-inch full digital advanced multi-functional cluster with a dark theme, offering customizable layouts and clear visibility for a more immersive driving experience.

Advanced convenience features such as remote engine start with class leading 60m Range, first-in-class walk-away lock, and approach unlock are enabled through the standard Premium I-key with Push button start. Additional thoughtful touches include , a front armrest with built-in storage, and a fully integrated steering wheel that puts audio, cruise control, and instrument cluster navigation at the driver’s fingertips.

Turbocharged Efficiency with Comprehensive Safety

Engineered for practical and efficient mobility, the All-New Magnite is powered by a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with Nissan’s advanced X-TRONIC CVT, delivering 100 PS of power and 152 Nm of torque for an efficient, dynamic drive. Whether navigating city streets or cruising on longer drives, the Magnite offers responsive handling, smooth gear transitions, and impressive fuel efficiency of 17.3 km/l, supported by a 36-liter fuel tank that offers excellent driving range for everyday use — all while meeting emissions standards across global markets.

Its performance is enhanced by technologies such as Mirror Bore Coating—borrowed from the legendary GT‑R—for superior heat management. Split cooling and a forged crankshaft further contribute to long-term engine durability, ensuring reliable performance over time.

While designed for efficiency, the All-New Magnite places safety at the forefront. It integrates over 55 safety features, with more than 40 offered as standard, underscoring Nissan’s commitment to protecting drivers and passengers at every turn.

Engineered for Safety and Strength:

The All-New Magnite is built with a strong focus on safety and structural integrity, offering class leading protection through six standard airbags covering the front, side, and curtain zones. A 360-degree Intelligent Around View Monitor supports effortless maneuvering, especially in tight urban settings.

Its body structure is engineered with 52% high-tensile and ultra-high-strength steel (LHD spec), ensuring exceptional durability, impact resistance, and long-term reliability. The vehicle is equipped with advanced safety systems including Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Traction Control System (TCS), and Hill Start Assist (HSA), along with core braking technologies such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), and Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA).

Further enhancing occupant safety, the Magnite includes a seatbelt reminder for all passengers and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), reflecting Nissan’s ongoing commitment to quality, safety, and customer confidence.

Real-World Experience at KAEC

To bring the All-New Magnite’s features to life, Nissan Saudi Arabia hosted a Ride and Drive event at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC). Media, partners, and industry stakeholders experienced the SUV in real-world settings, testing its agility, comfort, and tech-enabled convenience on city streets and open roads.
The All-New Nissan Magnite is now available at Nissan dealerships across Saudi Arabia. With its standout design, premium features, and practical benefits, it offers a confident entry point into the compact SUV segment — built for today’s fast-moving, forward-looking drivers.

Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President & President – Middle East, KSA, CIS – Nissan & INFINITI, commented: “The All-New Magnite embodies Nissan’s ‘One Car, One World’ vision — balancing affordability, functionality, and innovation. Its launch in Saudi Arabia underscores the Kingdom’s strategic importance in our global roadmap and reinforces our commitment to regional growth and innovation.”

Adib Takieddine, Managing Director of Nissan Saudi Arabia, emphasized the model’s alignment with customer expectations in the Kingdom: “The All-New Magnite is tailored for Saudi Arabia — reflecting what today’s customers value: smart design, intuitive tech, and practical performance. It’s a vehicle built for everyday ambition and modern city life.”
