Nissan Motor intends to broaden its product offering in the Indian market. In an effort to do so, the manufacturer today has launched the Nissan Magnite Kuro Edition in the country with a starting price of Rs 8.27 lakh (ex-showroom). The cost of the top-of-the-line variant, on the other hand, stands at Rs 10.46 lakh (ex-showroom). Last month, Nissan opened the bookings for the model for a token amount of Rs 11,000. It's important to note that the word Kuro, which serves as the SUV's name in Japanese, means "Black." Therefore, the interior and exterior of the car get an all-black treatment. Furthermore, this new edition is based on the top-spec XV trims, which comprise the XV MT, Turbo XV MT, and Turbo XV CVT. For those unaware, the Nissan Magnite is exported to fifteen nations around the world, with the latest launches in Bangladesh, Brunei, Seychelles, and Uganda. Here's everything that the brand-new Kuro edition of the Magnite has in store for Indian car buyers.
