Nissan elevates Magnite with KURO Special Edition – A statement in Black elegance

In a move that underscores its commitment to sophisticated design and customer-centric innovation, Nissan Motor India Private Limited (NMIPL) has introduced the New Nissan Magnite KURO Special Edition – a visually distinctive, all-black interpretation of its compact SUV that combines Japanese-inspired minimalism with bold styling cues.

Launching at an introductory price of INR 8.30 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the KURO Special Edition is now available for booking at a nominal amount of INR 11,000 via authorised dealerships or through Nissan India’s official digital platform: www.nissan.in.

Derived from the Japanese word ‘Kuro’, meaning ‘black’, the Special Edition encapsulates the brand’s ‘Boldest Black‘design philosophy. It conveys a sense of restrained elegance and strength through its monochrome palette, further enhanced by meticulous detailing inside and out.

This striking edition introduces a unique visual identity, featuring:

• A Piano Black front grille
• Gloss black roof rails
• Black resin front and rear skid plates
• Sleek black door handles
• And R16 diamond-cut alloy wheels finished in bold black tones

The KURO badging beneath the Magnite insignia on the left fender adds a touch of exclusivity, while the Signature Black LED headlamps with integrated Lightsaber-style turn indicators offer improved visibility and a distinctive road presence.

Inside, the theme continues with an all-black, premium interior. A midnight-inspired dashboard, piano black gear shift garnish, and steering insert, alongside matching sun visors and door trims, create an enveloping atmosphere of understated luxury.

Feature enhancements include a Sable Black wireless charger (standard) and a Stealth Dash Cam, offered as an accessory for added convenience and security.

Customers can explore the KURO Special Edition in rich detail using the brand’s immersive 3D configurator online, enabling interaction with the vehicle’s features through photorealistic visuals and a seamless end-to-end user journey.

The Magnite KURO Special Edition continues to offer versatility under the bonnet, available with both the turbo-petrol and naturally aspirated petrol powertrains, appealing to a wide spectrum of drivers.

Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, commented: “The New Nissan Magnite KURO Special Edition embodies bold design and refined craftsmanship, thoughtfully created in response to strong customer demand for a distinctive, premium, and feature-packed offering. The previous edition of the Nissan Magnite KURO Special Edition received an overwhelming response from customers for its striking all-black aesthetic and unique identity”.

He further remarked: “The New Nissan Magnite KURO Special Edition elevates the Magnite’s SUV presence while staying true to Nissan’s core promise of exceptional value, advanced innovation, and uncompromised safety. The recent 5-star GNCAP is testimony to our commitment to safety and deliver world class products from India under our ‘One Car, One World’ strategy. To celebrate this achievement, we are also introducing a brand new colour – Metallic Grey to the Magnite line-up.”

Reinforcing its credentials as a family-friendly SUV, the New Nissan Magnite recently secured a prestigious 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP — one of the most credible crash testing authorities. This accolade establishes it as one of the safest compact SUVs available in India and South Africa.

Built on the robust CMF-A+ platform, the Magnite offers 40+ standard safety features, including:

• Six airbags
• 67% high-tensile strength steel body construction
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
• Traction Control System (TCS)
• Hill Start Assist (HSA)
• ABS with EBD and Brake Assist
• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

This emphasis on safety aligns with Nissan’s global vision of delivering world-class products engineered in and for India.

Expanding Horizons with New Colour and Global Reach

To further appeal to discerning buyers, Nissan has introduced a new Metallic Grey colour across the Tekna, Tekna+, and N Connecta variants of the Magnite, giving customers more options to personalise their vehicle.

The Magnite’s design innovation and safety credentials have contributed to its growing popularity, now reaching over 65 global markets, spanning both Right-Hand Drive and Left-Hand Drive geographies.

With over 20 segment-first features and more than 55 safety innovations, the Nissan Magnite continues to be a compelling choice in the competitive compact SUV segment. The launch of the KURO Special Edition builds further on this legacy, offering elevated style, exclusivity, and performance at an accessible price point.
