Gurugram — If Batman ever needed a budget-friendly SUV, he’d probably choose this one.
Nissan Motor India has officially unleashed the New Magnite Kuro Special Edition — a sinisterly stylish, all-black compact SUV that looks like it just stepped off a Tokyo fashion runway and straight onto Indian streets. Priced from ₹8.30 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), this blackout beauty isn’t just about brooding looks — it comes packed with features, flair, and a 5-star GNCAP safety badge to flex on the road.
Bookings are now open for just ₹11,000 — less than what some influencers spend on black coffee in a week.
Kuro: Not Just a Colour, It’s a Lifestyle Choice
Derived from the Japanese word for black, Kuro doesn’t just wear black — it celebrates it. From the piano black grille to gloss black roof rails, stealth skid plates, black door handles, and that oh-so-premium Kuro badge on the fender, this Magnite is darker than your boss’s Monday mood.
Step inside, and it’s all shades of midnight. The interior features a dark-themed dashboard, piano black accents, sable black wireless charger, and even a dash cam for those “you won’t believe what just happened on NH48” moments.
Style Meets Substance — And Then Some
But Kuro isn’t all about the looks. This variant is armed with both turbo-petrol and naturally aspirated powertrains, a LightSabre-style LED turn indicator (yes, that’s actually what it’s called), and over 40 standard safety features. Thanks to its Global NCAP 5-star rating, it’s now officially cooler and safer than your ex.
And in case “black is not your colour” (how dare you), Nissan has also introduced a new Metallic Grey option across multiple variants — because even rebels need variety.
Global Swagger, Local Soul
Built right here in India on the CMF-A+ platform, the Magnite has already made its presence felt in over 65 countries, from Durban to Dubai. But the Kuro Special Edition? It’s here to steal scenes, not just sales.
Saurabh Vatsa, MD of Nissan Motor India, said, “The Kuro Special Edition embodies bold design and refined craftsmanship, thoughtfully created in response to strong customer demand for a distinctive, premium, and feature-packed offering.” Translation: You asked for drama, they delivered it in matte black.
TL;DR: Why Kuro is the Dark Knight of Compact SUVs
- Starts at ₹8.30 lakh — dramatic styling at a democratic price
- Available with both turbo and NA petrol engines
- Over 55 safety features, 20+ segment-firsts
- 5-star Global NCAP rating — because safety is sexy
- Kuro badging and blacked-out everything, because… aesthetic
The Kuro Edition isn’t just a new trim — it’s Nissan’s way of saying, “You want style, safety, and swagger? Say less.” If Darth Vader traded his TIE Fighter for an SUV, we’re pretty sure it’d be the Magnite Kuro.
So, if you’ve ever looked at your car and thought, “This could be darker,” Nissan just heard you — and then added a LightSabre turn signal for good measure.
