This AMT option will be available with the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. Specifically, the AMT is set to be offered in the XV and XV Premium variants of the Magnite.&nbsp;Final Thoughts&nbsp;The introduction of the Magnite Kuro Edition showcases Nissan’s commitment to keeping the model fresh and appealing to its customer base. The AMT, on the other hand, is a strategic move that addresses the increasing demand for affordable automatic transmissions in urban settings.&nbsp;Bookings for the Kuro Edition are now underway for Rs 11,000. The price details are yet to be unveiled, but given Nissan’s history, we anticipate competitive pricing. With these new offerings, the Magnite is poised to further solidify its position in the burgeoning sub-compact SUV segment.
