The Japanese carmaker – Nissan is revamping its entire product line-up to increase its profitability. The move involves an upgrade to various models along with the introduction of new models as well. The company has now released few teasers of its upcoming B-segment compact SUV which, we know, will be called as Magnite.
It is speculated that Magnite was initially developed to carry the Datsun badge, but the company changed its strategy midway and it will now debut under Nissan’s moniker. However, Maginte still appears to retain the signature Datsun hexagonal grille. Other features include huge L-shaped LED daytime running lamps, along with sharp LED headlamps which have been teased in a few pics shared by the brand.
According to an earlier video, Magnite has sporty tail-lamps, along with chunky wheel arches, which are laced with black cladding. There are reports that it will come with dual-tone exteriors and features like connected car technology, 360-degree parking camera, automatic climate control, etc.
