The Nissan Gravite has entered the Indian market as an affordable 7-seater MPV made specially for middle-class families who want space, comfort and good mileage without spending too much. With a starting price of ₹5.65 lakh (ex-showroom), it directly competes with popular models like Renault Triber, Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Toyota Rumion. Nissan is clearly focusing on value for money, and the Gravite looks like a strong step in that direction.
Exterior Design
The Nissan Gravite carries a bold yet practical design. At the front, you will notice Nissan’s signature V-Motion grille that gives it a premium look. The sleek headlamps with LED DRLs add a modern touch. The “GRAVITE” lettering on the bonnet makes it look unique and confident on the road.
From the side, it looks clean and balanced. The 15-inch alloy wheels and roof rails add a sporty feel. At the rear, sharp tail lamps are connected with a chrome strip, giving it a stylish finish. Overall, the design feels simple but attractive — perfect for Indian families who want something different yet sensible.
Available colour options:
- Forest Green
- Onyx Black

Interior & Comfort
Inside the cabin, the Gravite feels practical and family-friendly. The dual-tone black and white theme gives it a fresh look. The dashboard design is neat, and everything is easy to use.
Key highlights include:
- 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- 7-inch digital instrument cluster

The third row is best suited for children or short trips, but the flexible seating makes it useful for daily family needs. You can fold seats to increase boot space when required.
