Nissan outlined its India product roadmap last year and with 2026 now on the horizon the strategy will finally begin to take shape. The Gravite will arrive first, followed by the Tekton SUV around mid-year, and a new seven-seat C-SUV planned for early 2027. Together, these launches will mark Nissan’s renewed push to build scale and relevance in the Indian market.
The Gravite will become Nissan’s third offering in the country alongside the Magnite and the X-Trail. Positioned below the Magnite, it will target families looking for an affordable and practical seven-seat solution for everyday use, not something aspirational but something that fits real life.
Originally scheduled for a January 21 debut, the Gravite’s launch was quietly pushed back. Nissan has now confirmed February 17 as the official debut date, while showroom availability will likely follow by late March or early April. With that timeline now clearer, interest around the model will continue to build.
In terms of design, the Gravite will carry a strong Nissan identity. Up front, bold Gravite lettering will sit on the bonnet, flanked by slim horizontal LED DRLs and a C-shaped grille finished with chrome slats. The front bumper will feature chrome accents along with a silver skid-plate insert that adds a rugged touch. At the rear, design cues will draw inspiration from the Magnite, including a roof-mounted spoiler and LED tail lamps with integrated DRL signatures, finished with a silver lower garnish. The boxy silhouette will be deliberate and it will prioritise interior space over visual drama.
The Gravite will be offered in five exterior colour options including teal, white, silver, black and grey.
Inside, the cabin will follow a clean and uncluttered layout with a three-row configuration. The emphasis will be on flexibility. Seats will fold flat to accommodate larger loads when required. The feature list is expected to include a larger touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital-analogue instrument cluster, automatic climate control, a wireless charger and a cooled glove box. Drive modes, rear AC vents, multiple speakers and other everyday conveniences will also be part of the package.
On the safety front, the Gravite will likely come equipped with six airbags, ABS with EBD, a speed alert system, seat belt reminders, front and rear parking sensors, TPMS, hill start assist and electronic stability control. It is also expected to offer traction control, speed-sensing door locks, rear door child locks, pedestrian protection and three-point seat belts for all seats.
The Gravite will be based on the CMF-A+ platform, shared with the Renault Triber, with a clear focus on usability and flexibility. Power will come from the familiar 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 72PS at 6,250rpm and 96Nm of torque at 3,500rpm. Transmission options will include a five-speed manual and an AMT, with the latter aimed at easing stop-and-go urban driving.
In terms of competition, the Gravite will go up against the Renault Triber, which shares the same platform and positioning. Larger and more expensive options such as the Maruti Ertiga and Kia Carens will sit a segment above. Nissan will be banking on distinctive styling, value-led pricing and everyday practicality to carve out space, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 markets.
With its February 17 debut approaching, the Gravite will represent an important step forward for Nissan in India and one that feels closer to execution than promise.
