Nissan Gravite MPV India Launch Soon: What To Expect?

Nissan is gearing up to strengthen its presence in India's value-driven family car space with the upcoming Gravite MPV, slated for launch in March 2026. Positioned as an affordable, compact three-row offering, the Gravite is expected to sit below the Magnite and focus squarely on space, practicality, and everyday usability. With competition heating up in the budget MPV segment, Nissan's next launch could play a key role in its India comeback strategy. In this section, let's take a look at everything that you can expect from the upcoming MPV, but before that, make sure to join the 91wheels WhatsApp Community, specifically curated for petrolheads like us to keep up with the latest news and automotive updates.

Platform & Positioning: Built for Cost-Conscious Families

The Nissan Gravite is expected to be underpinned by the CMF-A+ platform, a proven architecture that balances cost efficiency with flexibility. This foundation allows Nissan to offer three-row seating within a sub-4-metre footprint, keeping pricing competitive while ensuring urban-friendly dimensions. Expect the Gravite to target buyers upgrading from hatchbacks or compact SUVs who need extra seating without stretching their budget.

While the Gravite will share its basic proportions with other CMF-A+ based models, Nissan is likely to give it a clearly differentiated design. Up front, expect a bold grille with chrome accents, Nissan's signature lighting elements and a more upright bonnet treatment to enhance road presence. Clean surfaces, functional roof rails, and subtle cladding should lend the MPV a slightly rugged edge, while the rear is likely to feature neatly styled tail-lamps and a practical tailgate layout. New colour options, possibly including a fresh green or teal shade, are also expected to help the Gravite stand apart visually in a segment dominated by conservative hues.

Interior & Features: Practical, Tech-Savvy, & Family-Focused

Inside, the Gravite is expected to prioritise space and usability over flashy design. A refreshed cabin theme, new upholstery patterns, and Nissan-specific trim finishes should help it feel distinct. Feature highlights are likely to include an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone connectivity, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, multi-row AC vents, wireless charging, multiple USB ports, and thoughtful storage solutions for all three rows. Convenience touches such as a cooled glovebox, 12V charging for rear passengers, and flexible seating configurations are expected to make the Gravite well-suited to daily family duties.

Safety is expected to be a key talking point as well. The Nissan Gravite is likely to offer six airbags as standard across most variants, along with electronic stability control, traction control, hill-start assist, tyre pressure monitoring and front and rear parking sensors. A rear-view camera should also be part of the package, aligning the MPV with evolving safety expectations in this price band.

Engine & Transmission: Proven and Efficient

Power is expected to come from Nissan's familiar 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, tuned for efficiency and reliability rather than outright performance. This motor is likely to be paired with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT, catering to both traditional buyers and those seeking clutch-free convenience. A dealer-level CNG option could also be introduced later, appealing to high-mileage users and fleet buyers.

With an anticipated starting price of around Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom), the Gravite will squarely target the budget MPV space. Nissan is expected to officially unveil the model closer to early 2026, with showroom arrivals following by March.
