Nissan Motor India has officially started customer deliveries of its newest compact MPV, the Nissan Gravite, in the Indian market. Priced from Rs 5.65 lakh (ex-showroom), the Gravite enters the highly competitive budget MPV segment with a focus on practicality, affordability, and modern features.
The Gravite is positioned under four metres and is essentially Nissan’s rebadged version of the Renault Triber, but with distinct styling elements and brand-specific design touches. The model has already arrived at dealerships across India, and deliveries have now commenced nationwide.
With its seven-seat layout, practical cabin, and efficient petrol engine, the Gravite aims to attract families looking for an affordable and versatile vehicle.
Launch
The launch of the Nissan Gravite marks an important step for Nissan in expanding its portfolio in India. By introducing a compact MPV at a competitive price point, the company is targeting customers who need extra seating capacity without stretching their budget.
Starting at Rs 5.65 lakh (ex-showroom), the Gravite is positioned as one of the most affordable seven-seater vehicles currently available in the Indian market. Its compact size also allows it to benefit from lower taxes while maintaining practicality.
Since the MPV shares its platform with the Renault Triber, Nissan can offer a proven product while adding its own design identity and brand appeal.
Design
The Nissan Gravite adopts the brand’s signature styling language, giving it a distinctive look despite its shared roots with the Triber.
At the front, the MPV features Nissan’s V-Motion grille, which is one of the brand’s most recognizable design elements. Slim headlamps with integrated daytime running lights (DRLs) add a modern touch, while the bonnet prominently displays the “Gravite” lettering.
Other exterior highlights include:
- Sculpted bonnet design
- Silver detailing on the bumper
- Faux skid plate for a rugged look
- Newly designed 15-inch alloy wheels
- Functional roof rails
At the rear, the Gravite continues its stylish design with sharp taillamps connected by a chrome strip. The Nissan badge sits at the centre, and the Gravite branding is integrated within the tail lamp cluster.
Buyers can choose from five exterior colour options.
| Colour Options |
|---|
| Forest Green |
| Onyx Black |
| Blade Silver |
| Metallic Grey |

These colour choices help give the Gravite a fresh and youthful appeal.
Cabin
Inside, the Nissan Gravite focuses heavily on practicality and passenger comfort. The MPV offers a seven-seat layout, making it suitable for large families or buyers who need flexible seating arrangements.
The interior follows a dual-tone black and white theme, which gives the cabin a clean and premium appearance. Suede inserts and contrast stitching add a touch of sophistication to the otherwise practical layout.

Despite its compact footprint, the Gravite aims to maximise space efficiency so that passengers in all rows can travel comfortably.

Nissan has equipped the Gravite with several modern features to enhance convenience and connectivity.
The driver gets a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, which provides important driving information in a clear and modern display. At the centre of the dashboard sits an 8-inch infotainment system, supporting multiple connectivity features for smartphones.
Key features offered in the Gravite include:
- 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system

These features make the Gravite competitive within the budget MPV segment while maintaining its affordability.
Engine
Under the hood, the Nissan Gravite is powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. This engine is shared with the Renault Triber but tuned to match Nissan’s driving characteristics.
The engine produces 71 hp of power and 96 Nm of torque, offering adequate performance for city driving and daily commuting.
Buyers can choose between two transmission options.
| Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0L Petrol | 71 hp | 96 Nm | 5-Speed Manual |

Fuel efficiency is also a strong point of the Gravite.

These mileage figures make the MPV a cost-effective option for everyday use.
Future
Nissan has also confirmed that a CNG variant of the Gravite will be introduced in the future, which will further improve running costs for buyers who prioritize fuel economy.
With its competitive pricing, practical seven-seat layout, and efficient engine, the Nissan Gravite aims to attract budget-conscious families in India. While it shares its foundation with the Renault Triber, Nissan’s styling tweaks and brand identity give the Gravite a unique character in the segment.
As deliveries begin across the country, it will be interesting to see how the MPV performs in India’s growing affordable family car market.
