Nissan Motor India is officially launching the Nissan Gravite MPV in India today, marking a major step in the brand’s strategy to expand beyond its current offerings. The Gravite enters a competitive compact MPV space aimed at families looking for practical, affordable seven-seat mobility.
What the Gravite Is All About
The Nissan Gravite is built on the Renault–Nissan CMF-A+ platform, the same architecture that underpins the Renault Triber. While the underlying structure and seat configuration are very similar, Nissan has applied its own design language and branding to give the Gravite a distinct look and identity.
Design and Exterior Highlights
Visually, the Gravite retains the functional three-row silhouette typical of compact MPVs, with Nissan’s signature V-Motion grille and LED daytime running lights at the front. Roof rails and new wheel designs add a slightly rugged, modern appeal compared with its Triber sibling.
Interior and Features
Inside, expect a spacious cabin with a practical layout suited for family use. The Gravite is likely to feature a 7-seat (5+2) configuration, versatile seating with removable third-row seats, and a mix of digital and physical controls. Higher trims are expected to get an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, and handy storage solutions throughout the cabin.
Engine and Powertrain Options
Power is expected from a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine—the same unit used in the Triber, producing around 72 PS and 96 Nm of torque—paired with either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT gearbox. A dealer-fit CNG option may also be offered for buyers seeking lower running costs.
Expected Pricing and Positioning
Industry reports suggest that the Gravite could be priced competitively to attract budget-conscious family buyers, with earlier estimates indicating a range roughly between ₹6 lakh and ₹9 lakh (ex-showroom). Final pricing is being revealed at today’s launch and will be key to the MPV’s market appeal.
Rivals and Market Context
The Gravite will primarily compete with the Renault Triber its closest counterpart as well as other value-focused MPVs in India. Its affordable positioning and seven-seat configuration aim to capture families who need space and practicality without extending into larger SUV pricing territory. The Nissan Gravite’s launch today highlights the brand’s renewed focus on the Indian market. By combining practical space, family-oriented features, and competitive pricing, Nissan aims to carve a meaningful presence in the compact MPV segment. With details now being unveiled at the launch event, buyers will soon have clearer insight into specifications, variant choices, and official prices.
