All-new Nissan Magnite makes its Middle East debut in Saudi Arabia

New Delhi, Mar 19 (UNI) After unveiling in Delhi, in October 2024, Nissan has announced the availability of the all-new Nissan Magnite for the Middle East – as the first region in the world
to receive the left-hand-drive (LHD) model.
The Magnite will expand to other markets around the region – all as part of Nissan’s strategic global vision of “One Car, One World”.
The Magnite is tailored to meet the diverse needs of customers across multiple markets, with its dynamic design, advanced features, and robust performance. For its compact size, the all-new Magnite punches well above its weight when it comes to looks.
Standing out with its assertive and imposing grille, high ground clearance, and diamond-cut alloy wheels, the model is sure to grab attention with its dynamic eye-catching design and two-tone colour options.
“Following the release of the hugely popular new Patrol and KICKS, we’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing the all-new Magnite here to the Middle East – and we’re certain our customers will be too.
We are reinforcing our commitment to innovation, versatility, and accessibility across the region.
More than that, Magnite shows Nissan and our strategy at its very best – dynamic eye-catching
design, with Japanese DNA and engineering, produced in Nissan’s India plant, and available in regions across the World. This SUV enhances our leadership in the segment and reflects Nissan's dedication to shaping the future of mobility with modern, practical vehicles,” Divisional vice president & president – Middle East, KSA, CIS – Nissan & INFINITI, Thierry Sabbagh said.
Adib Takieddine, Managing Director of Nissan Saudi Arabia, said: “The all-new Magnite reflects Nissan’s commitment to pushing boundaries, offering a vehicle that goes beyond just basic transportation and makes a bold statement on the road. Designed for those who seek
practicality and a vehicle that suits their aspirations, the New Nissan Magnite brings Japanese engineering and innovation to ambitious customers across the region, offering an incredible ratio
of tech-to-value that redefines the compact SUV segment.”
Produced at Nissan’s Alliance Plant in Chennai (RNAIPL), the Nissan Magnite has already proven popular in India and beyond, having sold over 150,000 models since its launch in December 2020. Previously exported to just 20 countries, world-class manufacturing capabilities have allowed the
New Magnite to cater for left hand drive countries too – opening availability to over 65 markets
where the latest model will be available, starting with the Middle East region. This means that the
all-new Magnite will represent the largest coverage for a vehicle produced in Nissan’s AMIO regions.
The all-new Nissan Magnite will be available in April 2025 through Nissan's partner network across the Middle East region.
