All-New Nissan Magnite unveiled in Saudi Arabia for its Middle East debut

Following its global debut in Delhi, India, in October 2024, Nissan has officially announced the arrival of the all-new Magnite in the Middle East, marking the first region to receive the left-hand-drive (LHD) version of the model. The launch event, held in Riyadh, showcased the car’s striking design and innovative features.

The Magnite is set to expand across the region, in line with Nissan’s global vision of “One Car, One World.” Designed to meet the diverse needs of customers, the Magnite combines dynamic styling, advanced technology, and robust performance.

Despite its compact size, the Magnite makes a bold statement on the road. Featuring an assertive front grille, high ground clearance, and diamond-cut alloy wheels, the model is hard to miss. It also offers a range of eye-catching two-tone colour options.

Inside, the cabin is contemporary and sleek, with leather detailing throughout. The car is equipped with a suite of intuitive technology, including a 7-inch fully digital instrument cluster, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, remote engine start, air ioniser, and a cooled glovebox.

The Magnite combines its stylish design with efficient performance, powered by a turbocharged 1.0-litre engine that delivers 100 PS and 152Nm of torque for a dynamic driving experience.

Safety is a key focus, with the Magnite boasting a range of features such as the Around-View Monitor, ABS, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Auto Headlamps, three-point seatbelts for all occupants, and side curtain airbags, ensuring peace of mind for all passengers.

Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President & President – Middle East, KSA, CIS – Nissan & INFINITI, commented, “Following the release of the hugely popular new Patrol and KICKS, we’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing the all-new Magnite here to the Middle East – and we’re certain our customers will be too. We are reinforcing our commitment to innovation, versatility, and accessibility across the region. More than that, Magnite shows Nissan and our strategy at its very best – dynamic eye-catching design, with Japanese DNA and engineering, produced in Nissan’s India plant, and available in regions across the World. This SUV enhances our leadership in the segment and reflects Nissan’s dedication to shaping the future of mobility with modern, practical vehicles.”

Adib Takieddine, Managing Director of Nissan Saudi Arabia, said: “The all-new Magnite reflects Nissan’s commitment to pushing boundaries, offering a vehicle that goes beyond just basic transportation and makes a bold statement on the road. Designed for those who seek practicality and a vehicle that suits their aspirations, the New Nissan Magnite brings Japanese engineering and innovation to ambitious customers across the region, offering an incredible ratio of tech-to-value that redefines the compact SUV segment.”

Designed for a wide range of customers, the Magnite offers agility, efficiency, and comfort, making it the perfect companion for urban drivers. With its spacious interior, which comfortably seats five, and a blend of practicality and style, the Magnite offers an engaging driving experience at an attractive starting price of SAR 66,699. This makes it an excellent value proposition without compromising on quality or features.

Manufactured at Nissan’s Alliance Plant in Chennai (RNAIPL), the Magnite has already gained popularity, with over 150,000 units sold since its launch in December 2020. Originally exported to 20 countries, the new Magnite will now be available in over 65 markets, starting with the Middle East region. This expansion marks the largest global coverage for a vehicle produced in Nissan’s AMIO regions.

The all-new Nissan Magnite will be available for sale in the Middle East starting in April 2025 through Nissan’s partner network.
