The new model will be the first of the three launches planned for India and is scheduled to hit the market in early 2026. This will be followed by the Tekton midsize SUV in mid-2026, and a new seven-seater SUV in early 2027.
“The upcoming line-up – shaped by global insights yet deeply attuned to the needs of Indian customers – reflects our commitment to this dynamic market,” said Massimiliano Messina, chairperson, Nissan AMIEO (Africa, Middle East, India, Europe & Oceania) at a virtual press meet. “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 the Nissan Alliance.”
Messina added that India remains a strong contributor to Nissan’s AMIEO region performance, with the local entity playing a pivotal role in the automaker’s broader global plans.
Nissan Motor India managing director Saurabh Vatsa said the all-new Gravite is a testament to the company’s renewed focus on the evolving Indian market.
