Nissan Gravite: Style and Design / Comfortability
The Gravite is a compact 7-seater MPV, roughly the same size as the Renault Triber, because it’s basically that car under a Nissan badge.
Up front, you get a bold black grille and connected LED DRLs, which look a bit more modern than some cheap MPs.
Inside, Nissan has used a dual-tone interior, a digital driver display and an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/CarPlay — stuff you don’t often see at this price.
Seats are roomy front to back, and second/third row passengers get AC vents — nice for long drives.
That third row is still best for kids or short adults on long trips.
Nissan Gravite: Engine Specs
Under the hood is a 1.0-litre 3-cyl petrol engine making ~72 PS and 96 Nm torque.
You can choose a 5-spd manual or 5-spd AMT automatic.
It’s tuned for city and family use — not fast, but fuel-frugal. Owners on Reddit and forums are already saying it’s underpowered when fully loaded or on steep highways.
Nissan Gravite: Mileage
Factory claims about 19.3–19.6 kmpl on petrol.
Real-world data isn’t fully out yet, but similar engines in the Triber usually run ~14-17 kmpl in mixed roads. (Early impressions suggest the same.)
Expect city values lower and highway figures slightly higher.
Daily Driving Experience Review
Driving around town is easy, visibility is good, and the automatic AMT is useful in traffic.
The steering is light, and parking sensors help in tight spots.
But once you pack all 7 seats and baggage, performance feels flat. Climbing hills or overtaking on highways needs planning.
Build quality isn’t premium — hard plastics and budget materials show — but for this money, that’s expected. Some owners online mentioned suspension sounds and engine noise creeping in over time.
Smart Comparison
vs Renault Triber
They’re basically siblings. Gravite has slightly fresher looks and more safety equipment standard, but platform and engine are identical.
vs Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
Ertiga is bigger, more refined, and has stronger brand service support. Gravite is cheaper but feels cheaper too.
vs Tata Punch / compact SUVs
Punch isn’t a 7-seater. If you want space and seating for 7, Gravite wins; for SUV looks and higher ride height, Punch or Exter is better.
Safety Features
Safety is a strong point here. Even base variants get:
- 6 airbags standard
- ESC (stability control)
- Traction control & Hill start assist
- ABS with EBD, TPMS, parking sensors
There is no official Global NCAP crash rating yet — but equipment-wise it’s well above most budget MPVs.
Practical 2–5 FAQs
Q: Is Gravite a real 7-seater?
Yes — third row is removable and usable, especially for kids.
Q: On-road price?
On-road in most Indian cities will be roughly ₹6.5 L to ₹10.5 L depending on variant and taxes.
Q: How about service & parts?
Nissan’s network in India isn’t as big as Maruti/Hyundai, and some forums say service costs might be higher.
Q: Should I wait for CNG?
A factory CNG option is confirmed to launch later, which might save running costs.
Bottom Line
The Nissan Gravite is one of the cheapest ways to get a 7-seater — and it comes with good safety gear and decent features.
If you want cheap family transport with low running cost, it’s worth a long test drive.
If you want strong performance, plushness, or widespread service support, look at Ertiga or even compact SUVs.
Buying choice depends on budget and priorities, not just price alone.
