SUV culture has been gaining popularity in India and around the world in the last couple of years. In India, compact SUV segment is one of the most popular segment and almost every manufacturer has at least one product in this space. The sub-4 meter SUV segment is ruled by cars like Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300, Ford EcoSport and recently launched Kia Sonet SUV. One of the latest entrant in this segment is the new Nissan Magnite which will compete with others in the segment. We drove, the new Magnite few weeks ago and to know more about the Magnite SUV, click here. Here we have a render image that shows how Nissan Magnite would look like, if it were to be launched in a Dark Edition.
The render images have been shared by Indian Auto on their website. The render image is inspired by Dark Edition of Tata Harrier that is available in the market. The Dark Edition of Magnite, is just a product of artist’s imagination and Nissan as of now, does not have any plans to bring this to the production line. The Dark Edition of Magnite looks similar to the regular Magnite with some cosmetic changes.
Unlike Harrier, Nissan Magnite Dark Edition is not an all-black SUV. It does have silver and chrome garnished elements at several places. The front gets Datsun styled grille with new Nissan logo in the centre. The chrome garnish on either side of the grille has been blacked out and there is even a red accent on the grille that differentiates it from regular Magnite.
