The new SUV will be underpinned by the CMF-A+ platform which is also used on the Renault Triber and the upcoming Renault Kiger. Thanks to this heavily-localized architecture, Nissan will be able to price the Magnite competitively. The recently unveiled concpet from the Japanese carmaker looks more like the near-production version. However, safely expect some of the visual drama to be toned down.
