The interior updates of the Nissan Magnite are expected to be minimal, with new trim pieces and potentially a few additional features. However, the overall dashboard design is anticipated to remain largely unchanged. In addition to these tweaks, Nissan will also start manufacturing left-hand drive versions of the Magnite in India for export purposes, aiming to boost its annual production by 25,000-30,000 units.
