Bustami & Saheb Group Applauds the Bold 'Honeycomb' Design of the All-New Nissan Magnite in the Middle East

Aligned with Nissan's global vision of "One Car, One World," the all-new Magnite prominently features a cohesive honeycomb design across key touchpoints, from the front grille and LED tail lamps to the air-conditioning vents and the uniquely crafted leather seats. Complemented by distinctive Magnite badges on the fenders, this design approach reinforces the crossover's unique identity, that resonates and appeals to younger drivers navigating dynamic urban environments. In the front, the Magnite makes a powerful first impression with its bold, dual-tone grille featuring a pronounced honeycomb design. LED Bi-Projector Auto Headlamps and LED lightsaber-style turn indicators enhance the vehicle's assertive appearance, complemented by a dual-tone floating skid plate that adds to its robust stance. The honeycomb motif continues prominently at the rear through LED tail lamps with 3D honeycomb gradient effect, creating visual depth and an instantly recognizable design. Complementing this theme, the Magnite's profile features distinctive 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels with a dual-tone finish, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal and responsive handling. Inside, the Magnite's cabin thoughtfully carries through the honeycomb design, particularly noticeable in the front air-conditioning vents, front and rear seat upholstery, and door trims, ensuring cohesive styling throughout. Premium MODURE leather quilted seats with Heat Guard technology maintain comfort by effectively reflecting heat, making journeys pleasant even in warmer climates. Under its stylish exterior, the Magnite is equipped with an efficient 1.0-liter Turbo engine, incorporating Nissan's advanced "mirror bore cylinder coating" technology. This technology ensures optimal heat management, improved combustion efficiency, smooth acceleration, and delivers an impressive 99 horsepower and 152 Nm torque, paired with exceptional fuel efficiency at 17.3 km/l. The cabin offers advanced connectivity with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Most markets rise as China-US truce extended, inflation in focus

HONG KONG — Asian markets mostly rose Tuesday, with Tokyo hitting a record, as investors welcomed the extension of a China-US tariff truce but looked ahead apprehensively to the release of key US inflation data later in the day. Donald Trump's widely expected trade announcement avoids the re-imposition of sky-high levies and allows officials from Washington and Beijing to continue talking into November to settle their standoff. In an executive order, the White House reiterated its position that there are "large and persistent annual US goods trade deficits" and they "constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States". However, William Yang, an analyst at the International Crisis Group, said: "Beijing will be happy to keep the US-China negotiation going, but it is unlikely to make concessions." With the president's tariffs set and talks with various trading partners ongoing, markets are now turning their focus back towards the possible economic outlook and the impact of Trump's trade war. First up is the US consumer price index (CPI) later in the day, which could play a major role in the Federal Reserve's decision-making with regard to interest rates. Bets on a cut have ramped up in recent weeks owing to signs that the world's number one economy is showing signs of slowing, with figures indicating that the labour market softened considerably in the past three months. Expectations are for CPI to come slightly above June's reading, but analysts warned investors were walking a fine line. "CPI is the storm front straight ahead. A soft number, and the market exhales. A hot number, and the stagflation whisper becomes the only language anyone speaks," said SPI Asset Management's Stephen Innes. While there have been warnings that the tariffs will stoke inflation National Australia Bank's Ray Attrill said: "The larger tariff impacts... probably will not be felt until August/September, with firms now only gaining some clarity on the degree of reciprocal tariffs. "The current profit reporting season has noted firms on the whole were waiting for greater clarity on final tariff rates before adjusting prices." Also on the agenda this week are wholesale prices and retail sales, with the Fed's favoured gauge of inflation at the end of the month. Bank officials are then set to make their decision in the middle of September. Forecasts are for a reduction at that gathering and one more before the end of the year. Asia's rally was led by Tokyo's Nikkei 225, which soared around 2.8 per cent to hit a record high of 42,983.34 on renewed optimism over the Japanese economy after officials reached a deal to avert the worst of Trump's tariffs. The gains came as traders returned to work after a long weekend. Hong Kon g, Shanghai, Sydney, Seoul, Taipei, Mumbai, Jakarta and Manila also advanced. Singapore and Wellington dropped.
