Customers won't pay for the Front Door Handle Sensor repair to be completed.

Both engines have an AMT transmission for the NA gasoline engine and a CVT gearbox for the turbo engine in addition to the usual 5-speed manual gearbox. Up to 20 kilometres can be covered by the vehicle per litre.

Nissan has experienced recalls in the past; in 2022, a defective steering wheel caused a recall of nearly 20,000 vehicles in the US. Nissan declared in 2023 that several issues had led to the recall of 699,000 cars in Japan and over 700,000 units abroad. Nissan has exhibited its dedication to resolving safety issues and guaranteeing consumer contentment through these recalls.

By year's end, Nissan is anticipated to introduce the Magnite SUV's redesign. On certain versions, it will come with six airbags, a few extra functions, and cosmetic changes.
