By The highly anticipated Nissan Gravite, Nissan’s newest 7-seater compact MPV intended for Indian families has had its launch postponed. Originally expected to make its India debut in January 2026, the company has now delayed the event with plans to reveal a new launch date soon.
In this article, we break down what the Gravite is, its design, features, specifications, expected price range, and why it matters to the Indian car market — so you don’t miss anything while waiting for the official launch.
What Is the Nissan Gravite
The Nissan Gravite is a compact, budget-friendly seven-seater MPV designed specifically for the Indian market. It’s aimed at families who want flexible seating, good space utilisation, and excellent practicality without the premium prices of larger SUVs or full-size MPVs
Platform & Design
- The Gravite is based on the CMF-A+ platform — the same foundation architecture used by the Renault Triber.
- Nissan has tried to give it a distinct identity with its signature C-shaped front grille, updated bumpers, new alloy designs, roof rails and a “Gravite” badging on the Front and Rear.
- It carries global Nissan design cues combined with practical MPV proportions making it visually more appealing and stylish than its close cousin Renault Triber.
Interior & Practicality
While Nissan hasn’t shown the full cockpit yet, available information and teasers point to a family-oriented cabin that focuses on practicality and comfort:
- Seven-seat layout with modular seating that can be rearranged for passengers or cargo.
- Smart storage solutions and thoughtful packaging to make every inch count.
- Expected feature list includes an 8″ touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging, and possibly a 7″ TFT instrument cluster.
Nissan is likely to differentiate the Gravite’s interior from its Renault cousin with its own unique colour themes, seat fabrics and exterior and interior stylings.
Engine & Transmission
The Gravite is expected to use proven Nissan/Renault mechanicals, tuned for efficiency and reliability:
| Specification | Expected Details |
| Platform | CMF-A+ (shared with Renault Triber) |
| Engine | 1.0-litre Natural Aspirated Petrol |
| Power | 72 PS |
| Torque | 96 Nm |
| Transmission Options | 5-speed Manual / 5-speed AMT |
| Fuel Type | Petrol |
A CNG version is expected to be offered later as a dealer-fit option
Expected Features & Safety
To remain competitive and relevant in its segment, Nissan is likely to equip the Gravite with practical and safety-focused features such as:
- Multi-airbag setup
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) & Traction Control
- Hill Start Assist (HSA) and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- Rear parking sensors & camera
- Infotainment with smartphone connectivity (likely Android Auto & Apple CarPlay)
This suite of features will make Gravite a strong contender against its rivals in the value-oriented 7 seater MPV category
Expected Price & Market Positioning
According to market estimates, the Nissan Gravite is expected to be priced in the ₹6 – ₹9.5 lakh (ex-showroom) bracket once it finally launches — making it an attractive option for middle-class Indian families seeking a spacious 7-seater without spending too much
Gravite’s Key Rivals
Once it officially launches, the Nissan Gravite will compete with:
Renault Triber : close sibling with slightly more familiar branding.
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga: larger and more powerful, but priced higher.
Kia Carens : bigger family MPV with more premium features. The Gravite’s advantage will lie in its value pricing, modular and spacious cabin and 7 seater all designed for the needs of Indians.
Final Thoughts : What This Delay Means
The postponement of the Nissan Gravite launch might be disappointing for eager buyers however once launched, the Gravite could reshape the budget 7-seater MPV segment by bringing Nissan’s design flair and practicality to family car buyers.
