Nissan is set to make a strong comeback in India with three new models: the Tekton compact SUV, a 7-seater SUV, and a sub-4 metre MPV. Among these, the sub-4 metre MPV has now been officially named the Nissan Gravite. The company has shared the exterior design of this new MPV, which is expected to hit showrooms by March 2026 after a January launch.

The front of the Gravite looks bold and modern. It features a large grille with honeycomb detailing and the Nissan logo at the centre. A notable highlight is the ‘GRAVITE’ badge on the bonnet, similar to the Tekton. Slim LED DRLs are connected by a light bar, adding a contemporary touch. The flat bonnet with creases gives it a slightly muscular, SUV-like look. The bumper has contrasting C-shaped silver inserts on the sides, adding character.

The side profile of the Gravite is partially revealed. It shows pull-type door handles, tall roof rails, and dual-tone alloy wheels, giving it a stylish stance.

At the rear, the taillights are separated but connected by a thin chrome strip that joins them to the Nissan logo. The ‘GRAVITE’ lettering sits neatly on the lower part of the tailgate. The bumper is simple, with a matching C-shaped element like the front.

Nissan has not shared full details of the interior yet, but it is expected to have its own design, different from the Renault Triber. Expected features include an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital driver display, push-button start-stop, manual AC with rear vents, remote keyless entry, wireless phone charger, and a 6-speaker sound system.

Safety features are likely to include six airbags, electronic stability control, hill start assist, tyre pressure monitoring system, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear parking camera.

The Gravite is expected to share the same engine as the Renault Triber: a 1-litre, 3-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 72 PS of power and 96 Nm of torque. Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT. There may also be a 1-litre turbo-petrol option in the future. The Nissan Gravite will compete with other 7-seaters like the Renault Triber, Maruti Ertiga, Maruti XL6, Kia Carens, and Kia Carens Clavis.
