Nissan Names India-Built 7-Seat MPV ‘Gravite,’ Sets January Launch

Built on the Triber’s platform, the locally made model is central to Nissan’s India comeback with showroom arrivals slated for March.

Overview

  • Nissan confirmed the Gravite name and released teasers, with an official debut in January 2026 and customer deliveries targeted for March.
  • The sub-4-metre, three-row MPV shares CMF-A/CMF-A+ underpinnings with the Renault Triber but gets Nissan-specific styling and branding cues.
  • Local manufacturing will take place at the Renault–Nissan facility in Oragadam near Chennai as part of the brand’s India-focused strategy.
  • Media reports expect a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT; any turbo option and full feature list remain unconfirmed.
  • Positioned as an affordable family MPV likely starting around Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom), the Gravite anchors a wider roadmap that adds the Tekton SUV in February 2026 and a larger 7-seat SUV in 2027 alongside a dealer expansion to about 250 outlets.
