It’s bold, it’s black, and it’s back—with more variety than ever. Nissan India has launched the 2025 Magnite Kuro Edition, offering a stealthy new twist on the popular subcompact SUV. Prices start from ₹8.31 lakh and go up to ₹10.87 lakh (ex-showroom), making it an attractive option for buyers looking for style without stretching to the top-end trims.
What’s New in the 2025 Magnite Kuro Edition?
Unlike its earlier avatar that came only with the turbo petrol engine, the new Kuro Edition gives buyers more choice. It’s now available with:
- ✅ 1.0L Naturally Aspirated Petrol – 72 bhp | 96 Nm | 5-speed Manual / AMT
- ✅ 1.0L Turbocharged Petrol – 100 bhp | 152 Nm (Manual) / 160 Nm (CVT)
This expanded range makes the Kuro Edition accessible to a wider audience.
Value Positioning:
- Kuro Edition commands a ₹34,000 premium over the standard N-Connecta variant
- Still ₹61,000 cheaper than Tekna and ₹96,000 less than Tekna+
- Perfect balance for those seeking bold design without top-spec pricing
All-Black Everything
As the name “Kuro” (which means black in Japanese) suggests, the SUV is dressed entirely in dark styling cues:
- Blacked-out grille, roof rails, skid plates, and alloy wheels
- Tinted LED headlamps with sequential turn indicators
- “Kuro” badging – the only break from the all-black theme
Bonus: A new Metallic Grey paint shade has been introduced for the N-Connecta, Tekna, and Tekna+ variants if you prefer a lighter tone.
Interior: Stealth Mode On
Inside, the theme continues with:
- All-black dashboard, steering, gear lever, and even sun visors
- Premium touches like a wireless charger and dashcam now included
However, some top-end features like cruise control, 360-degree camera, and cooled glovebox remain exclusive to the Tekna+ trim.
Engine & Transmission Options
| Engine Type | Power Output | Torque | Gearbox Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0L NA Petrol | 72 bhp | 96 Nm | 5-speed Manual / AMT |
| 1.0L Turbo Petrol | 100 bhp | 152 Nm / 160 Nm | Manual / CVT |
The turbo-CVT combo is ideal for zippy urban driving, while the NA petrol suits daily commutes.
