(Cairo) - The first ever Egyptian assembled Nissan Magnite has officially gone on sale across the country, a month after the official start of production at Nissan Egypt’s 6th of October City plant last month.
The decision to assemble the Magnite in Egypt is the culmination of a US$45-million investment by Nissan Motor Company, aligning with the country’s Automotive Industrial Development Program and Vision 2030 to make Egypt a regional manufacturing and export hub.
Highly anticipated, the Nissan Magnite combines style and substance, seamlessly blending Japanese engineering and practical innovation to redefine everyday mobility. Built to meet the evolving expectations of local drivers, the Magnite stands as a confident and intelligent choice that delivers an unmatched tech-to-value proposition.
Bold design that steers attention:
The Nissan Magnite unifies a bold exterior with a premium, spacious interior. The imposing honeycomb grille, sleek LED Bi-Projector headlamp and signature L-shaped daytime running lights command attention while the 205mm ground clearance, stylish 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, and functional roof rails with their 50kg load capacity provide practical utility.
Inside, a two-tone leatherette interior, multi-color ambient lighting, and generous legroom deliver an upscale cabin experience. Designed for maximum convenience, the interior offers over 19 liters of smart storage, including a cooled glovebox, and a center & rear armrests with storage. Rounding out its utility is a standard 60:40 split rear seat, effortlessly expanding the 336-liter boot to a spacious 690 liters.
Advanced technology and elevated comfort:
Technology takes center stage with an intuitive 8-inch floating touchscreen supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, paired with a 7-inch darkened digital instrument cluster.
Convenience is driven by an intelligent key with push-button start, offering first-in-class walk-away lock, approach unlock, and remote engine start with a 60m range. Passenger comfort is enhanced by rear AC vents, and the segment's largest bezel-less auto-dimming rearview mirror. For advanced wellness, a built-in Plasma Cluster Ionizer actively removes pollutants and germs, dropping the air quality index from 400 to 30 in just 20 minutes.
Uncompromising safety and dynamic performance
Built with a strong focus on structural integrity, the Nissan Magnite offers a 5-star adult occupant safety rating from the Global New Car Assessment Program (Global NCAP) protection through six standard airbags covering the front, side, and curtain zones. Family safety is enhanced by a class-exclusive 360-degree Intelligent Around View Monitor, LED Auto Headlamps, and a seatbelt reminder for all seats.
The vehicle is fully equipped with advanced braking and stability technologies, including Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), ABS with EBD, Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA), and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Alongside this safety net, the Magnite features an efficient 1.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with an advanced X-TRONIC CVT transmission. Delivering 100 HS of power and 152 Nm of torque, this combination ensures responsive handling and smooth gear transitions for city streets or long drives. For practical everyday mobility, the Magnite boasts an impressive fuel efficiency of 17.3 km/l, fed by a 36-liter fuel tank offering excellent driving range.

Tailored for smart, forward-thinking Egyptian drivers who refuse to compromise on style or substance, the Magnite blends agility, low cost of ownership, and everyday comfort. Its smartly engineered cabin comfortably accommodates five adult passengers, balancing a high-stance road presence with the nimble handling required for daily city commuting.
