Nissan Magnite Kuro Teased Ahead of Launch - The Darkest Of Dark SUVs
Japanese carmaker Nissan is set to introduce an all-black version of its Magnite compact SUV, named the Nissan Magnite Kuro. The term 'Kuro' translates to black or dark in Japanese.
The new teaser on the firm's socials marks the first time the facelifted Magnite will sport the Kuro nameplate. However, a Kuro edition was available for the pre-facelift model. The facelifted version was launched in October last year.
The video posted on the socials by Nissan India shows the area around the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO) in Hanle, Ladakh, which is known as the darkest place in India. The video then teases the exterior of the new Magnite Kuro, showcasing an all-black finish from the roof rails to the 16-inch alloy wheels.
The Nissan Magnite Kuro is not expected to feature any other exterior adjustments compared to the regular version of the sub-4-metre SUV. As before, the new Nissan Magnite Kuro is expected to based on the higher-spec trim levels of the Magnite.
Nissan Magnite Kuro Teased: Interior, Features & Powertrain Expectations
Inside, elements such as the roof liner, sun visors, door handles, steering wheel, and AC vent surrounds are likely to receive a blacked-out treatment similar to its predecessor.
The feature list and safety equipment are expected to align with the range-topping variants. Anticipated features include a 7-inch digital driver's display, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 6-speaker sound system by Arkamys. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, auto headlights, cruise control, ambient lighting, and six airbags are also likely inclusions.
Under the bonnet, the new Nissan Magnite Kuro is expected to house a 99bhp 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that will be paired with both 5-speed manual and CVT gearbox options.
Safety features such as three-point seat belts for all passengers, Isofix anchors, ABS, traction control, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), hill-start assist, and a 360-degree camera are anticipated to come as standard with the Magnite Kuro. The Magnite was recently awarded a 5-star safety rating by Global NCAP.
