Nissan has officially shaken up the budget MPV segment with the debut of the Nissan Gravite. Launched at an aggressive introductory price of Rs 5.65 lakh, this compact mover aims to provide Indian families with a blend of space, style, and affordability. While it shares its structural DNA and CMF-A+ platform with the Renault Triber, Nissan has injected its own "tough-meets-tech" philosophy into the vehicle's design and features.
Pricing and Exclusive Benefits
The Gravite is priced between Rs 5.65 lakh and Rs 8.93 lakh (ex-showroom). However, the base price is reserved for the first 5,000 buyers. To set a new benchmark in ownership peace of mind, Nissan offers a standard 3-year warranty that can be extended to a segment-best 10 years or 2,00,000km. Furthermore, the initial batch of customers will enjoy five years of zero service costs, making it one of the most economical vehicles to maintain in its class.

Distinctive Exterior Styling
The Gravite isn't just a rebadged twin; it carries a unique visual identity. The front fascia features a bold honeycomb grille and redesigned bumpers characterized by "C-shaped" silver inserts. The lighting setup includes signature LED DRLs that differ significantly from its competitors. For those seeking more flair, the Launch Edition adds vibrant orange accents and white tyre decals. Customers can choose from five sophisticated shades: Forest Green, Onyx Black, Blade Silver, Snow White, and Metallic Grey.
Modular Interior and Modern Tech
Inside, the Gravite utilizes a clever 5+2 seating configuration, allowing the third row to be removed for massive luggage space. The cabin is tech-forward, featuring:
- Infotainment: An 8-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration.
- Driver Display: A 7-inch fully digital cluster.
- Premium Comfort: Automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and a cooled glovebox.
- Safety First: Equipped with 6 airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and rain-sensing wipers.
- Launch Edition Extras: A premium JBL sound system, ambient lighting, and a dual-channel dashcam for added security.
Engine, Performance, and Future CNG
Under the hood lies a refined 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine delivering 72hp and 96Nm of torque. Drivers can choose between a crisp 5-speed manual or a convenient 5-speed AMT. Efficiency is a strong suit, with the manual delivering 19.3kpl and the AMT slightly higher at 19.6kpl. For eco-conscious buyers, Nissan will soon introduce a dual-cylinder CNG kit as a dealer-fit option, ensuring zero compromise on boot space.
