Exterior Design Updates
The front profile of the new Nissan Magnite features a fully changed grille with a new pattern. The Nissan logo is present, along with a chrome slide, which has been seen before. The headlights use regular halogen bulbs, with indicators placed on the side. The Aceta variant does not include DRLs; instead, it features chrome treatment in the shape of DRLs.

Moving to the side, the new Magnite comes with 16-inch steel wheels, similar to previous models, complete with dual-tone wheel covers. It features disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. The tire section is 195/60 R16. Black cladding runs along the side. The ORVMs are electrically adjustable and foldable, with integrated indicators. The Nissan Magnite badging is prominent. The A-pillar is body-colored, while the B-pillar is matte black. Door handles on this variant are now chrome. A plain roof is standard, though a dual-tone option is available. Silver-finished roof rails are also present.
At the rear, the Aceta variant features normal halogen bulb taillights, similar to the previous Magnite. The Nissan logo is in the center, with large Magnite badging below it.

Practical Boot Space
The Magnite offers a spacious 336-liter boot space, providing ample room for luggage. The rear seats can be folded in a 60:40 split configuration for added versatility. Hooks are available on both sides for securing items. The spare wheel, a stepney, is 14 inches, which is two sizes smaller than the main tires. A toolkit, jack, and spanner are conveniently located with the spare wheel.
