Nissan has confirmed the Gravite name for its new compact MPV, a model designed to strengthen the brand’s position in India. The public debut is slated for January 2026, with showroom arrivals expected in March 2026. Gravite addresses one of the market’s most practical demands: a budget-friendly three-row, seven-seat vehicle that stays under four meters in length. It’s a pragmatic move for India’s compact segment.

There are no surprises on the hardware front: Gravite is based on the Renault Triber and uses the same CMF-A+ platform. That means a shared architecture and powertrain, while Nissan will create separation through styling and positioning. Within the lineup, the newcomer will sit below the Magnite crossover and directly compete with the Triber, appealing to families who need an inexpensive seven-seater without stepping up to a larger, costlier class.

Teasers indicate the Triber’s proportions will stay familiar, but the look will be tuned to Nissan’s signature style: a reworked front bumper, a revised grille, and new wheel designs. The headlights keep the donor model’s shape yet adopt a different lighting pattern. At the rear, there will be a new bumper, altered taillight graphics, and bold Gravite lettering across the tailgate.
