Nissan Magnite with Turbocharged Performance in the Middle East
At Drive UAE, we are always excited to share the latest automotive innovations shaping the driving experience across the region. One of the most significant updates this season comes from Nissan Magnite, with the introduction of the all-new 1.0-litre turbocharged engine in the Nissan Magnite. Designed to deliver spirited performance, smoother drivability, and exceptional fuel efficiency, this engine marks a new milestone for compact SUVs in the GCC.
Power Meets Efficiency
The newly launched 1.0L turbo engine produces an impressive 99 horsepower and 152 Nm of torque, making everyday driving dynamic yet refined. It is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), ensuring smooth gear shifts and effortless acceleration whether you are navigating busy city streets or cruising on highways.
Fuel economy is another highlight. With a rating of up to 17.3 km per litre, the Magnite is engineered for cost-conscious drivers who don’t want to compromise on performance. Nissan’s Eco Scoring and Eco Coaching technologies guide drivers to adopt more fuel-efficient habits, maximizing every litre of petrol.
Smart Technology from Sports Cars
Nissan has borrowed mirror-bore cylinder coating technology, originally developed for its high-performance sports cars, to improve the Magnite’s efficiency. This innovation reduces internal friction, manages heat more effectively, and enhances engine durability. For drivers in the Middle East, where climate conditions can challenge vehicle performance, this advancement offers both reliability and longevity.
Safety and Control on Every Drive
A compact SUV should be agile, safe, and confident. Nissan has equipped the Magnite with a range of intelligent safety features, including:
- Vehicle Dynamic Control for improved stability on uneven roads
- Traction Control for better grip and smoother handling
- Hill Start Assist for easier uphill starts
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) for safer braking in all conditions
Together, these features ensure that every journey is secure, whether in city traffic or on weekend road trips.
Comfortable and Connected Cabin
Step inside, and the Magnite welcomes you with a modern, feature-rich cabin. Key highlights include:
- A 7-inch Advanced Drive Assist Display that keeps important information within view
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for seamless smartphone connectivity
- 360° Around View Monitor, making parking in tight city spaces stress-free
- Cruise Control with adjustable speed limiter for relaxed highway driving
- Ambient lighting that adds a premium touch to every ride
- A cooled glove box for added convenience
One of the most thoughtful features is Nissan’s PlasmaCluster Ioniser air conditioning system. It improves in-cabin air quality by reducing bacteria, mould, and allergens, something every driver and passenger will appreciate.
Why It Matters for Drivers in the GCC
The launch of the Nissan Magnite with 1.0L turbo engine is more than just a model update, it represents a growing demand for compact SUVs that balance power, practicality, and affordability. The Middle East market has always valued vehicles that can handle diverse road conditions while offering long-term fuel savings, and this new Magnite meets those needs perfectly.
