The Gravite features a redesigned front fascia with a honeycomb grille and angular LED headlamps

Although the Gravite shares its underpinnings with the Renault Triber, Nissan has worked to set it apart visually. Teasers point to a redesigned front fascia featuring a honeycomb-pattern grille flanked by angular LED headlamps and slim DRLs. At the rear, the Gravite gets revised tail-lamp detailing and bold model lettering across the tailgate. The lower bumper appears chunkier and incorporates C-shaped inserts. New alloy wheel designs and a distinct colour palette should help it stand out when parked alongside its French sibling.

2. Dual-tone cabin with practical features

The Gravite is expected to carry over the Renault Triber's touchscreen infotainment and digital instrument cluster

The cabin will feature a dual-tone black-and-beige theme, with beige inserts on the doors and headliner and chrome accents on the dashboard and centre console. The dashboard includes a centrally mounted touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster behind a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. Feature highlights are expected to include push-button start/stop, wireless charging, a cooled glovebox and cruise control.

3. Comprehensive safety package

The Gravite will offer a folding third row of seats, expected to be removable to allow for van-like cargo space

Nissan is expected to equip the Gravite with a strong safety suite, with expected features to include six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Hill-start and hill-descent aids, rear parking sensors, a rearview camera and ISOFIX child-seat mounts are also likely additions, aligning it with current buyer expectations.

4. Familiar 1.0-litre petrol with MT and AMT options

The Nissan Gravite will be offered with both manual and AMT options

Under the hood, the Gravite will likely carry the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine currently seen in the Triber. This power unit delivers 72 bhp and 96 Nm of torque and is available with both a 5-speed manual and an AMT gearbox. Dealer-fitted CNG options are also expected to be part of the lineup.

5. Aggressive pricing strategy

Power is expected to come from the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that currently does duties in the Renault Triber

The Gravite is expected to be priced in line with the Renault Triber, which currently starts below ₹6 lakh (ex-showroom). However, Nissan may introduce the MPV with competitive introductory pricing to strengthen its value proposition at launch. If positioned strategically, the Gravite could emerge as one of the most affordable three-row MPVs in the country.
