Nissan India has officially entered the budget 7-seater segment with the launch of the all-new Nissan Gravite. While it shares its DNA with the Renault Triber, the Gravite arrives with a distinct Nissan “V-Motion” design, premium interiors, and a safety-first approach that aims to disrupt the compact MPV market.
With an introductory starting price of ₹5.65 Lakh, the Gravite is positioned as a direct rival to the Renault Triber and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, offering a flexible 3-row seating arrangement in a sub-4-meter footprint.

The Nissan Gravite stands out with its rugged and premium styling. Unlike the more rounded design of its cousins, the Gravite features sharp lines and a “mini-SUV” stance.
- V-Motion Honeycomb Grille: The front is dominated by Nissan’s signature honeycomb grille with satin silver accents.
- Ground Clearance: With 182 mm of ground clearance, it is well-equipped to handle Indian road conditions and speed breakers.
- Sub-4-Meter Packaging: Despite its 7-seat capacity, it measures 3,987 mm in length, making it easy to park in tight city spaces while benefiting from lower tax slabs.
- Flexible Boot Space: With the third row removed, the Gravite offers a massive 625 litres of cargo space, perfect for long family vacations.
