A distinctive ‘KURO’ badge is positioned on the left fender to mark the special edition.

Inside, the cabin adopts a midnight black theme with piano black accents on the gear shift garnish, steering wheel insert, sun visors, and door trims. Standard equipment includes a Sable Black wireless charger, while a stealth dash cam is available as an accessory. The model also comes equipped with a Premium i-Key offering walk-away lock and approach unlock functionality, along with an advanced driver assist display.

Nissan has introduced a 3D configurator on its website to support the launch, allowing customers to explore the vehicle’s design and features through photorealistic visuals and interactive elements.

Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, stated that the KURO Special Edition was developed in response to customer demand for a distinct, feature-rich variant with a premium appearance. He noted that the previous iteration of the KURO edition had received strong market response, and the updated version continues to align with Nissan’s focus on value, innovation, and safety.

The New Nissan Magnite, manufactured in India, recently received a 5-star overall passenger safety rating from Global NCAP, positioning it among the safest vehicles in its segment in India and South Africa.
