If you have been waiting for Nissan to do something more substantial in India, get ready. The Japanese car maker is set to launch not one but two all new cars in two months – and believe me, these are cars that will make heads turn and take on some of the most popular cars on the Indian roads today. It’s the Nissan Gravity MPV and the Nissan Tekton SUV and honestly, these launches may just be what Indian families and SUV lovers have been waiting for.

Nissan’s Big Comeback Plan for the Indian Market

First up is the Nissan Gravite, which arrives January 2026. Nissan’s take on the family-car chat is genuinely useful. Imagine the middle class Indian family on the hunt for a seven seater, and who doesn’t send you into bankruptcy. 

Gravity MPV — Affordable 7-Seater That Finally Makes Sense

The seven-seater Gravite is available from around ₹6 lakh, making it one of the lowest-priced automatic seven-seaters in the market. That’s pretty impressive, especially since the MPV segment always seems to be a squeeze for buyers on a budget. Based on the proven CMF-A architecture that it shares with the Renault Triber, the Gravite has no intentions of breaking the mould—and that’s quite alright.

Although Nissan has applied a fresh Japanese design language, it’s essentially taken an old, dependable platform. The bonnet is scooped, adding character, and the front is more assertive, featuring Nissan’s V-Motion grille. The flanks display slender, toned shapes that make this small the look of the the more premium surprisingly the tags looks. The rear is? Sharp and clean, with C-shaped styling cues that tie the whole design together.

Engine & Transmission Options

Gravite gets the familiar BE powertrain, Under its hood, the Gravite will be powered by the familiar 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine producing 72 hp. So maybe that doesn’t get your blood pumping, but here’s the kicker—it’s mated either a five-speed manual or an automated manual transmission (AMT). This is huge because AMT automatics in seven-seaters are usually reserved for cars that cost a lot more. You’re getting an automatic family hauler without the fancy DCT price tag.

Comfort & Family-Focused Practicality

Its three rows of realistic seats are better suited for seven adults than five, which is outstanding in this segment (and for the record, even the normally cramped third row here is not too bad). Add good levels of equipment, some new trim options and you have a car that really does tick the ‘value for money’ box. Nissan is expanding its dealer network with 200 touchpoints specially for these launches, which means you will get proper after-sales support even in Tier-2 cities. 

Tekton SUV — A Serious New Player in the Midsize SUV Segment

Well, if you’re not a fan of the people carrier and have your sights set on that succulent midsize SUV market, gear up. Nissan Tekton release date The Tekton will officially release in February 2026 with a price tag around that of the Hyundai Creta, Tata Sierra, and Maruti Suzuki Victoria.

CMF-B Platform & Patrol-Inspired Rugged Styling

This is not some rebadged castoff. Built on the modern CMF-B platform (which also underpins the new Renault Duster) and developed specifically for Indian roads, the Tekton.

The exterior design is based on Nissan’s iconic Patrol SUV, meaning it has real rugged DNA. From the teaser images, we can see the connected LED DRL arrangement at the front and a muscular bonnet with connected LED tail-light unit at the rear. That’s a vehicle that feels purposeful and premium, and yet it will be priced competitively. 

Engine Options, Turbo Power & Future-Ready Hybrid Plans

What about engines? The main engine on offer would be a lively 1.3-litre turbo-petrol with a 1.0-litre turbo variant for cost-conscious consumers also possibly on the cards. There are even rumors of a strong-hybrid powertrain joining the line-up at a later date, as with the new Duster. Which means a car that’s ready for the future, with none of the EV sticker shock—at least not at first.

Interior Design

The inside is where things get interesting. Think: a three-tone dash; digital driver’s display; a large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; ventilated front seats; a sunroof; and a real 360-degree camera system. Safety? Six airbags as standard, ABS, EBD, blind-spot monitoring – all the boxes you would expect ticked.

With a price band of ₹11 lakh to ₹19 lakh (ex-showroom), it is placed right in the middle of the scorching competition, and this means Nissan is making a serious effort to win customers and not merely retaining existing ones. 

Conclusion

Nissan has been rather silent in India for quite some time now, but this two-front assault with the Gravite and Tekton definitely signals a comeback. They are filling two huge holes in the market—cheap family cars and midsize SUVs that can actually compete. The Gravite rivals the Maruti Ertiga and the Renault Triber, while the Tekton goes toe-to-toe where the profit margins are the healthiest.

With 200 new dealer touch points coming on stream, technical and warranty support, and the engineering might of the Renault-Nissan alliance behind them, these are more than just launches – they are statements of intent.
