The Magnite Kuro Edition, a unique iteration of Nissan’s well-liked small SUV that sticks out with a striking all-black exterior, has officially returned to the Indian market. This edition, which takes its name from the Japanese word “Kuro,” which means “black,” is built on the Magnite’s XV trim but has upscale interior and exterior style. All of the Kuro Edition’s body parts, including the alloy wheels, headlight surrounds, door handles, roof rails, grille, and skid plates, are blacked out. Its sporty personality is further enhanced by red brake callipers and a distinctive Kuro badge.
The Magnite Kuro Edition maintains the all-black interior design with glossy black panels, floor mats bearing the Kuro logo, and a unique in-rearview mirror (IRVM). Despite being based on the XV model, it has a number of features that are typically found in higher trim levels, including a 360-degree Around View Monitor (AVM), a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charging, automatic climate control, rear AC vents with a centre armrest, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Features like Hill Start Assist, Traction Control, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) have also been used to improve safety. The Magnite is a well-rounded package in terms of protection as well, as evidenced by its notable 4-star Global NCAP safety rating.
There are two engine options available for the Kuro Edition. The first is a 1.0-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox that generates 72 PS and 96 Nm of torque. The second is a more potent 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that can produce up to 160 Nm of torque and 100 PS. It can be paired with a CVT automated transmission or a 5-speed manual gearbox. These are the same well-proven powertrains that are part of the standard Magnite lineup, so efficiency and familiarity are guaranteed.
The Nissan Magnite Kuro Edition is priced ex-showroom in Delhi at ₹8.27 lakh for the petrol manual version, ₹9.65 lakh for the turbo manual, and ₹10.46 lakh for the turbo CVT. The Kuro Edition costs about ₹46,000 more than the regular XV trims, but its improved features and appearance make up for the difference.
anyone looking for a sleek, feature-rich small SUV will find the Nissan Magnite Kuro Edition to be a visually appealing and affordable choice. It provides a distinctive option in a market full of products with comparable appearances thanks to its aggressive black motif, high-end accessories, and affordable prices. The Kuro Edition makes a compelling argument for itself, regardless of your preference for aggressive styling or your need for a feature-rich urban SUV.
