Apart from the changes to the exterior design, the sub-4-meter SUV will get a slew of new feature additions like 6 airbags and a single-pane sunroof. Inside the cabin, a new layout for the dashboard is expected. Going by the spy shots, a new set of LED headlamps, revised bumpers and front grille and updated tail lamps will be a part of the package. Mechanically, the Magnite Facelift will continue to be powered by the familiar 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol and a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine.
