Nissan Gravite to Launch in India Tomorrow: A New Challenger in the Affordable 7-Seater Segment

Nissan India is all set to make a significant move in the Indian automotive market with the official launch of its highly anticipated 7-seater MPV, the Nissan Gravite, tomorrow, February 17, 2026.

Based on the same CMF-A+ platform as the Renault Triber, the Gravite is Nissan’s strategic entry into the budget-friendly compact MPV segment. While it shares its DNA with its French cousin, Nissan has given it a distinct identity through sharper styling, modern features, and premium positioning.

Design: Bold and “V-Motion” Inspired

The Nissan Gravite retains the practical sub-4-meter silhouette of the Triber but distinguishes itself with a more aggressive front fascia.

• Front Profile: It features Nissan’s signature V-Motion grille with a honeycomb pattern, flanked by sleek twin-strip LED DRLs and redesigned LED headlamps. Interestingly, it also sports prominent ‘GRAVITE’ lettering on the bonnet, a design choice usually seen on premium SUVs.
• Side and Rear: The MPV comes with silver roof rails and a new set of dual-tone alloy wheels. At the rear, it gets revised tail-lamps and updated bumpers with silver accents, giving it a more rugged and modern look compared to the Triber.

Interior: Practicality Meets Modern Tech

Inside, the Gravite is designed to be a versatile family companion. It will feature a 5+2 seating layout, where the third-row seats are expected to be modular and removable to maximize luggage space.

• Dual-Screen Setup: The top-spec variants are likely to feature a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Key Features: Expect premium touches such as a cooled glovebox, wireless phone charging, push-button start, automatic LED headlamps, and rain-sensing wipers.
• Comfort: To ensure comfort for all seven passengers, the Gravite will include dedicated rear AC vents and multiple charging points across all three rows.

Engine and Performance

Under the hood, the Nissan Gravite will be powered by a familiar and fuel-efficient powertrain:

• Engine: 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine.
• Power Output: 72 hp and 96 Nm of peak torque.
• Transmission: A 5-speed manual will be standard, with a 5-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) available for urban convenience.
• CNG Option: Reports suggest a dealer-level CNG retrofitment might be offered to cater to mileage-conscious buyers.

Safety First: Six Airbags as Standard?

Nissan is expected to emphasize safety with the Gravite. It is rumored to come with six airbags as standard across all variants. Other safety features will include:

• Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
• Hill-Start Assist
• ISOFIX child seat mounts
• Rearview camera with guided lines

Expected Price and Competition

The Nissan Gravite is expected to be priced competitively, starting at approximately Rs. 6 lakh (ex-showroom).

With its combination of sharp design, enhanced safety, and the practicality of seven seats, the Nissan Gravite aims to be the perfect anchor for modern Indian families looking for value and versatility. Stay tuned for the official price announcement tomorrow!
