Nissan Magnite – Difference Between Old and New Scores

The pre-facelift Nissan Magnite received a 4-star AOP and 2-star COP rating under the old Global NCAP standards (pre-2022).

Nissan then made changes – making 6 airbags and ESC standard across all variants.

 

As a result of these improvements, the Magnite has now received a 5-star safety rating under the new Global NCAP protocol.
