Nissan has launched the Magnite facelift in the Middle East, marking the first region to receive the left-hand-drive (LHD) model. This move is part of Nissan’s strategic global vision of “One Car, One World”, which aims to make the Magnite available in various markets around the world. The LHD variant of the Magnite was first launched in India in October 2024 and has since been exported to 20 countries.
The company is planning to expand the Magnite’s reach to other markets in the region, with plans to export the LHD model to 65 countries. The first batch of LHD Magnite units was shipped to LATAM markets in January 2025, followed by exports to the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia Pacific regions in February 2025.
In addition to exports, the Magnite has also received an update in March 2025, with its 1.0L naturally aspirated engine becoming E20 compliant. The turbocharged 1.0L petrol engine, which also powers the Magnite, was already E20 compatible. The naturally aspirated engine produces 71 bhp and 96 Nm of torque, while the turbocharged model produces 98 bhp and 160 Nm of torque.
The company is exploring various powertrain options, including hybrid and CNG variants, and has already announced its intention to enter the electric vehicle (EV) market by the end of FY26. This move is part of Nissan’s efforts to diversify its product lineup and meet growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles.
Overall, the launch of the Magnite facelift in the Middle East marks a significant milestone for Nissan’s expansion plans, and the company’s commitment to making its products available to customers worldwide.
