Nissan Gravite CNG 7-Seater MPV Launched at Rs 5.65 Lakh: The New Disruptor in India’s Budget Family Segment

 New Delhi —Nissan Gravite CNG 7-Seater :In a major move to recapture the Indian mass market, Nissan Motor India has officially launched the all-new Nissan Gravite. Entering the competitive sub-4 metre, three-row MPV segment, the Gravite is priced at a stunning introductory starting price of Rs 5.65 lakh (ex-showroom).

Positioned as a more “upmarket” and “muscular” sibling to the Renault Triber, the Gravite is Nissan’s second major pillar in India after the Magnite. With a focus on affordability, modular seating, and a segment-first maintenance package, Nissan is clearly aiming to win over the budget-conscious Indian family.

Nissan Gravite CNG 7-Seater Pricing and Variant Strategy: Something for Everyone

The Nissan Gravite is being offered in four primary trims—Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, and Tekna—distributed across eight different configurations including manual and AMT options.

Note: These are introductory prices applicable for the first 5,000 bookings. Deliveries are slated to begin in March 2026.

Exterior Design: A Bold, Assertive Identity

While the Gravite shares its CMF-A+ platform and general silhouette with the Renault Triber, Nissan has infused its own design DNA to give the MPV a distinct personality.

The Front Facia

The most striking change is at the front. The Gravite features a bold honeycomb grille with prominent ‘GRAVITE’ lettering on the bonnet, reminiscent of global Nissan SUVs. The slim LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) are connected by a sleek chrome strip, providing a wider, more modern look compared to the Triber.

Side and Rear Profiles

From the side, the functional MPV proportions remain, including the tall roofline that ensures ample headroom. It rides on 15-inch stylised steel wheels and features robust roof rails. At the rear, the wraparound LED tail lamps are joined by a chrome garnish, while the bumper gets C-shaped silver accents that mirror the front design.

Interior Comfort and Modular Seating

Inside, Nissan has opted for a dual-tone black and beige theme (with suede inserts on higher trims) to make the cabin feel airy and premium.

• Modular Seating: Like its cousin, the Gravite offers over 100 seating combinations. The third row is completely removable, turning the 7-seater into a massive cargo hauler.

• Flexibility: The second-row seats feature both sliding and reclining functions, allowing passengers to prioritize legroom or luggage space as needed.

• Storage: The cabin is littered with practical storage solutions, including a cooled glovebox and a total of 31 litres of storage space across various compartments.

Features and Technology: Packed to the Gills

Nissan hasn’t held back on the feature list, ensuring the Gravite competes with much more expensive hatchbacks and entry-level SUVs.

• Infotainment: An 8-inch touchscreen takes center stage, featuring wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

• Audio: Select variants come equipped with a JBL speaker system for an enhanced acoustic experience.

• Convenience: Highlights include a 7-inch digital driver’s display, a wireless phone charger, cruise control, push-button start, and a segment-first dual dash cam setup.

• Climate Control: To tackle Indian summers, the Gravite features dual HVAC units with dedicated vents for the second and third rows.

Powertrain: Reliable and Efficient

Under the hood, the Gravite uses the tried-and-tested 1.0-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine.

• Output: 72 PS of power and 96 Nm of torque.

• Transmission: A 5-speed manual or a 5-speed EZ-Shift AMT.

• Mileage: The Gravite delivers a fuel efficiency of 19.3 kmpl (MT) and 19.6 kmpl (AMT).

The Game Changer: Dual-Cylinder CNG

Nissan has officially confirmed that a dual-cylinder CNG kit will be launched shortly. By using two smaller cylinders instead of one large tank, Nissan will be able to offer the economy of CNG without completely sacrificing the boot space—a major pain point for current CNG MPV owners.

Safety: Six Airbags as Standard

In a commendable move, Nissan has made six airbags standard across all variants of the Gravite. Other safety tech includes:

• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control.

• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

• ABS with EBD and Brake Assist.

• Hill Start Assist.

• Rear parking sensors and a camera with guidelines.

The “Peace of Mind” Ownership Package

To build consumer trust, Nissan is launching the Gravite with an aggressive service and warranty program:

1. Zero Service Cost: For the first 5,000 customers, Nissan is offering free service for 5 years.

2. Extended Warranty: While the standard warranty is 3 years/100,000 km, it can be extended up to 10 years or 200,000 km, which is currently best-in-segment.

3. Affordable Finance: Through Nissan Finance, buyers can avail of an interest rate as low as 5.55%.

Market Positioning and Future Roadmap

The Nissan Gravite’s primary rival is the Renault Triber. However, at its current price point, it also serves as a formidable alternative to the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and entry-level variants of the Kia Carens.

This launch is just the beginning for Nissan. The company has confirmed that within the next 12 months, they will launch the Nissan Tekton (a mid-size SUV to rival the Creta) and an all-new 7-seater C-SUV.

Verdict

With the Gravite, Nissan has successfully created a “value-plus” proposition. It takes the practicality of a proven platform and adds a layer of Nissan’s rugged styling and modern tech. For families looking for a 7-seater on a 5-seater budget, the Gravite might just be the most sensible choice in 2026.
