The suspense is finally over! Nissan India has officially confirmed the name of its upcoming 7-seater MPV today: The Nissan Gravite.
For months, Indian families have been waiting for a budget-friendly 7-seater that offers more style than the Maruti Eeco and better brand value than the Renault Triber. The Nissan Gravite promises exactly that. Scheduled to be fully unveiled in January 2026, this MPV is Nissan’s big bet to capture the family car market.
Here is everything we know about the Nissan Gravite, from its engine specs to its expected price.
Design: More Than Just a “Copy-Paste”?
While the Gravite is based on the Renault Triber’s CMF-A+ platform, Nissan has worked hard to give it a unique, premium identity.
- Front Look: It features a massive V-Motion Grille (Nissan’s signature style) with sharp C-shaped LED DRLs, making it look much more aggressive than the friendly-looking Triber.
- Rear Profile: The tailgate features bold “G R A V I T E” lettering spaced out across the back, a design trend seen in premium SUVs like the Harrier and Range Rover.
- Roof Rails: Unlike the functional-but-bulky rails on the Triber, the Gravite sports a sleeker, integrated rail design for a modern urban look.
Engine & Performance: The “City Family” Car
Nissan has confirmed the powertrain details, and it is important to manage your expectations here. The Gravite is designed for city comfort and fuel efficiency, not for racing.
- Engine: 1.0L Naturally Aspirated Petrol (Same as Magnite non-turbo).
- Power: 72 PS
- Torque: 96 Nm
- Gearbox: 5-Speed Manual & 5-Speed AMT.
- Mileage: Expected to deliver 19-20 kmpl, making it very pocket-friendly.
Note: At launch, there is no Turbo Petrol engine option. If you frequently drive in the hills with 7 passengers, you might find the power slightly lacking.
Interior & Features
The cabin is expected to be practical and durable, perfect for Indian families with kids and pets.
- Flexible Seating: A true 7-seater layout. The 3rd row is expected to be completely removable, allowing you to turn it into a 5-seater with a massive 625L boot for airport luggage.
- Tech: An 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay.
- Safety: Nissan is taking safety seriously with 6 Airbags standard across all variants, along with ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and Hill Start Assist.
Launch Date & Price (The Value King?)
- Official Unveil: January 2026
- Price Announcement: March 2026
- Deliveries Start: April 2026
Expected Price: ₹6.00 Lakh – ₹9.50 Lakh (Ex-Showroom).
At this price point, it undercuts the Maruti Ertiga by nearly ₹2.5 Lakh, making it the most affordable modern 7-seater in India alongside the Triber.
Verdict: Should You Wait for the Gravite?
If your budget is tight (under ₹10 Lakh) and you absolutely need 7 seats, YES, you should wait. The Nissan Gravite will offer better looks and a fresher brand image than the aging Renault Triber.
However, if you drive mostly on highways with a full load, you might want to extend your budget for a Maruti Ertiga or Kia Carens, as they offer more powerful engines.
