Nissan has taken a decisive step toward rebuilding its presence in the Indian market with the launch of its all-new 7-seater MPV, the GRAVITE. Introduced at a highly competitive starting price of ₹5.65 lakh (ex-showroom), this model marks the beginning of a fresh product offensive from the Japanese automaker in India.
Unveiled in Udaipur, the GRAVITE is positioned as a practical, family-focused MPV designed specifically for Indian buyers. With a strong focus on space, safety, and modular seating, Nissan aims to tap into the growing demand for affordable yet versatile people-movers.
According to Saurabh Vatsa of Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd., the GRAVITE has been developed keeping Indian families and their evolving needs in mind. The car emphasizes comfort for long journeys, flexible seating layouts, and everyday usability.
The GRAVITE offers:
Premium quilted suede and leatherette seats, good headroom across rows, and smart storage spaces further enhance its family appeal.
The GRAVITE carries a bold stance with muscular lines and high ground clearance suited to Indian roads. Nissan’s signature C-shaped lighting design at the front and rear gives it a recognizable road presence.

The setup focuses on smooth city driving and affordable running costs rather than outright performance.
The GRAVITE is locally manufactured in Chennai, reinforcing Nissan’s long-term commitment to India. The company is also expanding its dealership footprint across Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities to improve customer access.
As stated by Thierry Sabbagh, India remains central to Nissan’s global ambitions, and this launch is part of a broader growth strategy.
A limited Launch Edition is also available with JBL speakers, dash cam, air purifier, ambient lighting, and styling enhancements.
With the GRAVITE, Nissan is targeting value-conscious Indian families who want a spacious 7-seater with modern features and strong safety credentials at an accessible price.
If Nissan supports this product with strong after-sales service and network expansion, the GRAVITE could become a serious contender in the affordable MPV space.
