Picture this: You’re a growing family, juggling school runs, grocery trips, and the occasional weekend getaway to the misty hills—without breaking the bank or cramming everyone into a cramped sedan.
What if your perfect family chariot didn’t demand premium pricing or feel like a watered-down compromise? Enter the All-New Nissan Gravite—Nissan’s bold, fresh entry into India’s compact MPV segment, a true people-mover built for real Indian families.
Launching today, February 17, 2026, this versatile 7-seater (with flexible 5+2 seating) is already creating serious buzz as a budget-friendly, practical option under ₹10 lakh—expected to start around ₹6 lakh and top out near ₹9 lakh (ex-showroom). Sharing its roots with proven platforms, it brings everyday ease, modular seating, efficient 1.0-litre petrol power (with manual/AMT options and likely CNG too), and that signature Nissan reliability—without the usual trade-offs.
Whether you’re chasing unbeatable value, smart space for growing needs, or a vehicle that truly grows with your life, the Gravite promises to shake up affordable family mobility. Here’s everything you need to know as the curtains officially lift!
1. Super Flexible 7-Seater Setup for Real Family Life
The Nissan Gravite is a true 3-row MPV with a “5+2” seating layout—meaning comfortable seating for five daily, plus two extra seats for those big family outings. The killer feature? The third-row seats are fully removable! Pop them out, and you’ve got massive boot space (over 500 liters expected)—perfect for luggage, shopping hauls, or even turning it into a mini cargo van for small business needs. No more folding seats that eat into space—this modularity feels smart and family-focused.
2. Shares DNA with Renault Triber, But Looks Like a Nissan
Underneath, it’s built on the same CMF-A+ platform as the Renault Triber, so it inherits that proven reliability and compact footprint. But Nissan has given it its own personality:
- Bold V-Motion grille up front for that aggressive Nissan family look.
- Updated LED headlamps with twin-strip DRLs that make it stand out at night.
- Sculpted rear bumpers and “GRAVITE” badging across the tailgate for a cleaner, more premium vibe.
It’s not just a rebadged Triber—it’s got enough Nissan flavor to feel distinct on the road.
3. Simple, Efficient Engine with Low Running Costs in Mind
No fancy turbo here—the Nissan Gravite keeps things straightforward for city driving and fuel savings:
- 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine.
- 72 hp power and 96 Nm torque—enough for daily commutes and light highway runs.
- Gearbox choices: 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT (Easy-Shift) for relaxed traffic crawling.
- Bonus: A dealer-fitted CNG kit is on the cards, making it super cheap to run for high-mileage families in places like Pune or Mumbai.
It’s all about practicality over thrills—great mileage and easy maintenance.
4. Modern Features and Solid Safety Without Breaking the Bank
Even at this price point, Nissan is loading it with useful stuff:
- 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
- 7-inch digital driver’s display for a clean, techy cockpit.
- Cooled glovebox and rear AC vents (plus roof-mounted blower) to keep everyone cool in Indian summers.
- Safety kit: Six airbags as standard, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Start Assist, and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
These essentials make it feel more premium than you’d expect from a budget 7-seater.
5. Super Competitive Pricing to Shake Up the Segment
The Nissan Gravite is gunning to be one of the cheapest proper 7-seaters around:
- Expected starting price: Around ₹6.30 lakh to ₹6.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
- Top-end variants likely up to ₹9.5 lakh.
Main rival? Its own sibling, the Renault Triber. But it’ll also pull buyers away from base Maruti Suzuki Ertiga variants with its lower entry price and extra flexibility.
This launch is Nissan’s way of fighting back in India—practical, value-packed, and built for our chaotic roads. Whether you’re upgrading from a hatchback or adding a second family car, the Nissan Gravite looks promising.
