For buyers looking for a spacious, feature-rich 7-seater with strong road presence and everyday practicality, the Nissan GRAVITE enters the market as a fresh and confident new option.
Nissan Motor India has kicked off a new chapter with the launch of the all-new GRAVITE, at an introductory price of ₹5.65 lakh. Positioned as a practical 7-seater, the MPV, according to the company, is designed specifically for Indian families who want space, comfort and strong road presence without stretching their budgets. This vehicle is the first product under RE: Nissan – a sweeping recovery plan by the global OEM, designed to rebuild operational resilience, streamline costs, and regain profitability by fiscal year 2026. For India it is the OEM’s renewed product push, signalling a stronger long-term commitment to the market.
Built Around Indian Families
According to the company the vehicle has been purpose-built to match how Indian families live, travel and grow together. Whether it is daily office runs, school drops, weekend shopping or long road trips with extended family, the MPV focuses on “flexibility and practicality.” Its modular seating layout allows owners to adapt the cabin space depending on passenger or luggage needs, making it equally suitable for city use and highway journeys.
The vehicle stands out with unique hood branding and exclusive rear-door badging — a segment-first design touch that adds to its visual identity. Nissan’s signature C-shaped design elements at the front and rear ensure instant brand recognition.
On the outside, the vehicle features an all-round LED lighting setup, including signature LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, Crystal Edge LED tail lamps and LED fog lamps that enhance visibility as well as visual appeal. The Piano Black 2D grille adds a premium touch to the front fascia, while functional roof rails underline its practicality. Wide-opening doors further improve ease of entry and exit, especially useful for families.
In the interior, the premium suede and leatherette quilted seats add a touch of sophistication, while thoughtful space management ensures comfort across all three rows. The first row offers generous shoulder and elbow room, while the second and third rows provide ample headroom and knee room. The modular seating allows flexible arrangements, helping owners switch between full-passenger mode and luggage-friendly layouts as needed.
India at the Core of Comeback
Mr. Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President and President, Middle East, KSA, CIS and India – Nissan and Infiniti, said, “India is central to Nissan’s global ambitions. The all-new GRAVITE is not just a product launch; it marks the beginning of a sustained growth phase for Nissan in India. With local manufacturing at our alliance partner facility in Chennai and a future-ready product roadmap, we are here to compete, grow and lead in the segments that matter.”
India has now been designated as one of Nissan’s core global markets, alongside the United States, Japan, China and the Middle East. This classification underlines a long-term commitment rather than a short-term revival attempt, he said. At the core of this strategy are three key pillars: building strong local talent, nurturing sustainable partnerships and delivering vehicles that genuinely meet customer needs. The carmaker is expanding its portfolio with the GRAVITE, Tekton C-SUV in mid-2026 and a 7-seater C-SUV in early 2027, widening its presence across multiple high-growth segments, he mentioned.
Listening First, Launching Next
According to Mr. Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, said, the core of the company’s renewed India strategy is a simple philosophy — “start with the customer.” Before developing new products, the company actively engages with real users — from small business owners to large families — to understand daily mobility needs, budget expectations and lifestyle aspirations. This insight-driven approach shaped earlier successes and continues to guide upcoming launches, including the Nissan GRAVITE, he pointed out.
India Growth Blueprint
Mr. Vatsa said, the launch of the GRAVITE is not just about a new product — it is part of a much larger comeback story for Nissan in India. Over the years, Nissan has introduced 13 models, with the Magnite emerging as a key success story, clocking over 240,000 units in five years.
India has also grown into Nissan’s second-largest export hub in the AMIO region (Africa, Middle East, India, Europe and Oceania), and vehicles such as the Magnite and Sunny, produced in Chennai, are exported to more than 65 countries, placing Nissan among India’s top five car exporters.
Now, 2026 has been earmarked as “the year of resurgence.” Nissan plans to expand from one active vehicle segment to four, with three new SUVs set to launch within 12 months. The price portfolio “will span roughly ₹6 lakh to ₹20 lakh, significantly broadening the company’s reach. Network expansion is also underway as dealerships are set to grow from 160 to over 250 by FY26-27, with workshops crossing 175 in the coming financial year. On the export front, Nissan aims to exceed 100,000 units annually from India by FY27, strengthening its “Make in India, Make for the World” strategy,” Mr. Vatsa added.
As part of the GRAVITE launch, Nissan India has also announced Mr. Laksh, the rising Bollywood actor and Filmfare’s “Debutante Male of the Year,” as the vehicle’s brand ambassador.
