No details regarding the interiors of the Magnite have been revealed yet, although the company has revealed that it will receive an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment sytem and cruise control. 

Upon launch, the Nissan Magnite is expected to be powered with the all-new 1.0-litre Tce 100 turbo petrol engine producing 100bhp/160N. The engine could be offered with either a five-speed manual or a CVT transmission. This particular motor was showcased by Nissan at the Auto Expo 2020 earlier this year. The sub-four metre B-SUV segment is one of the heavily competitive segments in India with top players in the form of the Hyundai Venue, Ford Ecosport, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Mahindra XUV 300 and the newly launched Kia Sonet.
