Nissan Gravite deliveries start across India

Nissan has commenced deliveries of the new Gravite across India. For the brand, this car matters a lot. It brings Nissan back into the budget MPV space and adds a second model to its regular lineup alongside the Magnite.

Prices for the Gravite begin at Rs 5.65 lakh ex-showroom. The range goes up to Rs 8.49 lakh for the Tekna AMT. A special Launch Edition is also on sale. It is priced from Rs 8.35 lakh and goes up to Rs 8.93 lakh ex-showroom.

The Gravite is based on the same platform as the Renault Triber. It is a sub four metre MPV made for big families who want space at a reasonable price.
