Made in India and exported to more than 65 countries, the latest Magnite received a perfect 5-star rating in adult safety and a 3-star rating in child safety, resulting in an overall 5-star safety rating for passengers. Richard Woods, Chief Executive Officer, Global NCAP, said: “It's very welcome to see Nissan's focus on improving the Magnite's safety performance. The 5-star rating demonstrates what can be achieved in a relatively short period of time when a manufacturer is fully committed to engage in the NCAP process." Magnite underwent rigorous testing, including assessments of adult occupant protection, child safety, and safety assist features. The vehicle demonstrated exceptional performance across all categories, showcasing its robust build quality, advanced safety features, and innovative design aimed at safeguarding drivers and passengers alike. Leon Dorssers, Nissan Senior Vice President, Chief of Commercial Operations, AMIEO Region (Africa, Middle East, India, Europe & Oceania) said, “As car makers, our first and overriding responsibility is to make our vehicles safe. Our Design, Engineering and Production teams are committed to this goal, so receiving globally recognized verification of these efforts through a 5-star Global NCAP rating is immensely rewarding. Magnite is an exceptional car in every way, and it is especially important safety is amongst the top of its long list of attributes.”

The newest version of Magnite launched in October 2024 and is now exported to markets in Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia.
