Nissan has delayed the launch of its upcoming budget-friendly seven-seater MPV, the Gravite, in India. The model was earlier scheduled to debut on January 21, but the Japanese carmaker has now delayed the launch event, a TOI report stated. Nissan has not shared a new date yet and says fresh details will be announced soon. The Gravite is expected to be a key product for Nissan as it looks to make a stronger push in India’s mass-market space. Here is what is known so far about the delayed MPV.
No official reason has been given for the delay. Nissan has only said that revised launch dates will be shared in the coming days.
At the front, the Gravite gets a new grille with the Nissan badge and noticeable chrome elements. The headlamps appear redesigned, and the bonnet features a strong hood scoop-like design. From the side, the MPV is likely to come with newly styled alloy wheels and practical roof rails.
At the rear, changes continue with reworked tail-lamps and a revised bumper. Chrome detailing remains prominent, and the Gravite name will be spelled out across the tailgate for a bold finish.
Buyers can expect two transmission options: a 5-speed manual gearbox and an AMT unit. The focus is expected to be on affordability and everyday usability rather than performance.
Beyond the Gravite, Nissan has already confirmed two more products for India. The next launch after the MPV will be the Nissan Tekton, which will be the brand’s version of the Renault Duster. It will take on popular mid-size SUVs and is expected to be a major step in Nissan’s comeback plans for the Indian market.
