Space Without the Bulk: Why Nissan Gravite is the Definitive 7-Seater Solution for 2026
Nissan India unveils the interior of the Gravite, a game-changing 7-seater B-MPV designed to anchor the brand’s 2026 resurgence.
Following weeks of high-profile teasers, Nissan India officially released the final interior specifications for the All-New Nissan Gravite on February 15, 2026. Built on the highly flexible CMF-A+ architecture, the Gravite introduces a “premium modular” philosophy to a segment often dominated by pure utility. The centerpiece of the cabin is a sophisticated 8-inch digital ecosystem merging a high-resolution touchscreen with a digital instrument cluster. For the Indian family, versatility is key; the Gravite delivers with pioneering modularity that includes a unique removable third row, allowing users to switch from a 7-seater commuter to a high-capacity cargo vehicle in minutes. Safety is standard, with six airbags and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) confirmed across all variants.
Nissan’s Resurgence: A Strategic Hub in India
Nissan is currently executing a massive revival plan in India, transitioning from a single-model lineup to an aggressive four-product offensive by 2027. This resurgence is anchored by the Renault-Nissan Alliance plant in Chennai, a 600-acre facility with a production capacity of 480,000 vehicles per annum. India has now become a critical global manufacturing and export hub for the brand, with over 1.2 million cumulative vehicle shipments reaching 108 countries by 2025. To support this growth, Nissan is rapidly expanding its domestic dealership network, aiming to grow from approximately 155 outlets to 250 dealerships by the end of FY2027.

Trivia: The Safety Backbone
The CMF-A+ platform is the same backbone that allowed the Nissan Magnite to achieve a 4-star safety rating, suggesting the Gravite will be one of the safest modular vehicles in its class. Additionally, the name Gravite is inspired by the word “Gravity,” signifying balance and inherent stability for the modern Indian family.
UDHQ Take: A Masterclass in “Space Luxury”
At Unbox Daily HQ (UDHQ), we view the Gravite as the definitive “Urban Escape Vehicle.” It refuses to compromise on technology just because of its compact footprint. The “Life Difference” here is the seamless transition it offers; it provides the agility of a hatchback for city commutes while maintaining the social presence of a full-scale luxury MPV for weekend getaways. For the UDHQ reader, this is the new benchmark for the “Sophisticated Suburbanite.” Having a cabin that rivals mid-size luxury SUVs means your vehicle is a reflection of your tech-forward lifestyle. It’s about owning a Space Luxury without the bulk.
