Nissan Motor India to Launch 7-Seater Gravite MPV in Early 2026

First Model Under Nissan’s Revitalised Product Strategy for India

Nissan Motor India has announced the launch of its new 7-seater B-MPV, Gravite, scheduled for early 2026. This model will be the first product under the company’s renewed product strategy for the Indian market. The Gravite will be manufactured locally at Renault’s Chennai facility, highlighting Nissan’s continued focus on local production and long-term growth in India.

Key Highlights of Nissan’s India Product Roadmap

The launch of the Gravite marks the beginning of a multi-model product offensive planned specifically for Indian customers.

Three New Models Planned

As part of its roadmap announced in July 2024, Nissan will introduce three new vehicles. The Gravite will arrive in early 2026, followed by the Tekton SUV in mid-2026, and a 7-seater C-SUV in early 2027.

Dealer Network Expansion

To support these upcoming launches, Nissan is expanding its dealership network across Tier I and Tier II cities. This move aims to improve customer reach, sales support, and after-sales service across the country.

Design Philosophy and Positioning of the Nissan Gravite

The name Gravite is derived from the word gravity. It reflects values such as balance, stability, and attraction. Nissan positions the Gravite as a family-focused MPV, designed to suit the practical needs of Indian households.

Practical and Flexible Interior

The MPV will offer modular seating layouts along with smart storage options. These features will allow easy adjustment between passenger comfort and cargo space, making it suitable for daily use and long journeys.

Exterior Design and Styling Elements

The Nissan Gravite follows the brand’s global design language.

Signature Nissan Design

The MPV features Nissan’s C-shaped front grille, along with hood branding and rear-door badging. The same C-shaped design element is repeated at the rear, giving the vehicle a cohesive look.

Strong Road Presence

The design focuses on horizontal proportions and a muscular stance, which helps the Gravite stand out while maintaining a balanced and premium appearance.

Statements from Key Nissan Leaders

Massimiliano Messina, Chairperson, Nissan AMIEO (Africa, Middle East, India, Europe & Oceania), commented: "India continues to be a strong contributor to AMIEO's performance, and Nissan Motor India plays a pivotal role in our strategy. Over FY25, we have strengthened our business operations, expanded our portfolio, and delivered on every promise made under our 2024 product offensive. The upcoming line-up---shaped by global insights yet deeply attuned to the needs of Indian customers---reflects our commitment to this dynamic market. With new models developed in and for India, and exports to several international markets, India remains both a growth driver and a strategic hub for Nissan Alliance. The reveal of the GRAVITE demonstrates our continued momentum and reinforces our confidence in the road ahead."

Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, stated: "The All-New GRAVITE is a testament to Nissan Motor India's renewed focus on the evolving Indian market. Deeply rooted in the fabric of the country, it is designed to be the perfect companion for the diverse needs of our customers. As the second model in our all-new product line-up, the GRAVITE marks a pivotal step in our transformation journey and reinforces our commitment to delivering vehicles that resonate with the aspirations of Indian consumers."

Nissan’s Export Strength and Future Outlook

Currently, the Nissan Magnite, which is manufactured in India, is exported to 65 global markets, including South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Additionally, Nissan revealed the Tekton premium SUV in October 2025, further strengthening its upcoming product pipeline.

With the launch of the Gravite and future models, Nissan aims to rebuild its presence in India through locally developed products, expanded networks, and a focused long-term strategy.
