Upcoming Nissan Compact MPV Named ‘Gravite’ – Launch In Jan

GaadiWaadi -

Nissan Gravite is based on the same CMF-A platform as the Renault Triber and it will be equipped with a 1.0L NA petrol and 1.0L turbo petrol engines

Nissan India has officially announced the name of its upcoming sub-four-metre MPV as Gravite. Revealed during a virtual event, the Gravite marks an important step in Nissan’s product expansion strategy for the Indian market and will play a key role in the brand’s revival plans.

The Nissan Gravite is based on the shared CMF-A platform with the Renault Triber. It will be manufactured at the Oragadam facility in Tamil Nadu alongside its Renault sibling, allowing Nissan to benefit from localisation and cost efficiencies. While the brand will unveil its larger Tekton SUV at the resurgence event scheduled for February 2026, the Gravite will arrive earlier – making it Nissan’s first major launch of the year.

Nissan has confirmed that the official launch and booking commencement will take place in January 2026. However, retail sales and customer deliveries are planned to begin in March 2026, once the production ramp-up is complete and dealer stock is ready.

Positioned in the MPV segment which is regaining popularity, the Nissan Gravite will offer seven-seat flexibility similar to the Triber. The main focus will be on modular seating which should make it suitable for multiple purposes. Nissan has also teased the model giving us the first glimpses of its own unique exterior styling which is a clear differentiator from its Renault counterpart.

Up front, the nose looks sharp and is dominated by a wide and blacked-out fascia that integrates a slim LED light bar stretching across the width. The headlamps sit neatly within this dark housing. Subtle creases on the bonnet add muscle without looking overstyled while the Gravite lettering is positioned prominently at the leading edge.

The overall face feels upright and planted. At the rear, the Gravite continues the minimalist theme with a strong horizontal emphasis. The LED tail lamps are sleek and sharply contoured, visually connected by a dark strip that carries the Nissan badge. The rear glass is neatly integrated, framed by a roof-mounted spoiler and the Gravite wording can also be seen on the upright tailgate.

On the powertrain front, the Gravite will be offered with two petrol engine options. These include a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a more powerful 1.0-litre turbo petrol unit. Both manual and automatic transmissions options will be available.

Pricing will be one of the Gravite’s biggest strengths. We expect the MPV to be priced in line with the Renault Triber with a starting price expected to be under Rs. 6 lakh (ex-showroom). Alongside new product launches, Nissan has also announced plans to significantly expand its dealership network. The company aims to grow its showroom footprint to 250 outlets across India – improving accessibility and after-sales reach.

A head-up display keeps essential driving information in the driver’s line of sight and the Harman Kardon surround sound system is also present. Power comes from a 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine producing 204 hp and 300 Nm of torque and is coupled with a DCT. The Mini Cooper Convertible accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in 6.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 240 kmph.

Commenting on the good initial reception, Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India, said “That was quick! The speed at which the all-new MINI Convertible sold underscores how strongly our community resonates with irresistible design and a genuinely fun, authentic driving experience. We anticipated excitement, but this immediate embrace of the MINI lifestyle has been extraordinary.”

Kia Offers Massive Year-End Benefits Of Up To Rs. 3.65 Lakh – Official

GaadiWaadi -

Kia Sonet, Syros, Seltos, Carens Clavis in both ICE and EV forms and the Carnival get attractive year-end discounts now in India

Kia India is closing out 2025 with a nationwide retail push designed to make year-end car buying more attractive for customers across segments. The brand has introduced its ‘Inspiring December’ initiative, a limited-period campaign that brings cumulative benefits of up to Rs. 3.65 lakh on select models through the month of December. The move targets buyers looking to lock in added value before the new year begins.

Unlike single-model discount drives, this campaign stretches across Kia’s broader lineup. Vehicles included under the scheme range from compact offerings like the Sonet and Syros to midsize and premium products such as the Seltos, Carens Clavis in both ICE and EV forms and the Carnival. By spreading the benefits across categories, Kia is addressing demand across different buyer categories.

Customers can expect a mix of financial incentives including direct cash savings, exchange-related benefits, loyalty rewards for existing Kia owners, corporate schemes and other dealership-level advantages. The final benefit amount depends on the selected variant, fuel type and inventory availability at individual outlets.

Ease of access has also been factored into the campaign. Kia allows customers to initiate bookings digitally through its official website and the MyKia mobile application – removing the need for immediate showroom visits. For buyers who prefer in-person interaction, the company’s dealership network across India continues to support the campaign with full transparency on applicable offers.

It is important to note that the offers are valid only for a short window and are subject to stock availability. Kia has clarified that benefits vary by model and trim, encouraging interested buyers to check availability early rather than waiting until the final days of the month. Support is also available through Kia’s toll-free customer assistance numbers for booking and clarification.

Recently, Kia unveiled the second generation Seltos. Its prices will be announced on January 2, 2026 ahead of the commencement of customer deliveries. The midsize SUV gets a host of updates inside and out and it derives power from the 1.5L NA petrol, the 1.5L diesel and 1.5L turbo petrol engines, coupled with manual and automatic transmission choices.

Maruti Strikes Again: Fronx–Baleno Playbook Repeats With Victoris & Grand Vitara

GaadiWaadi -

Maruti Suzuki Victoris has garnered over 30k units since launch while the Grand Vitara helps increase the brand’s volumes in the midsize segment

Last month turned into another appreciable one for Maruti Suzuki in the SUV space with four of its models finding a place inside the overall top ten sales chart. None of them managed a top-four finish, but taken together, the numbers show how the brand relies on volume consistency. Models like the Fronx, Brezza, Victoris and Grand Vitara pulled their weight in different ways.

Leading Maruti’s charge was the Fronx which ended the month in fifth position. It posted sales of 15,058 units, only slightly ahead of the 14,882 units it recorded in November 2024 with a marginal 1 per cent growth. Even so, maintaining monthly volumes at around 15,000 units in a crowded compact SUV space is no small feat.

The compact SUV coupe is based on the same Heartect platform as the Baleno and both are delivering impressive numbers with the latter posting over 13,700 units. The Brezza followed next finishing sixth with 13,947 units sold in the top ten SUVs table. Compared to the 14,918 units sold during the same month last year, this represents a 7 per cent year-on-year decline.

A notable highlight for Maruti Suzuki last month was the Victoris. Ranking seventh overall, it clocked 12,300 units and has gone past the 30,000 sales mark already in just over two months. At the lower end of the top ten, the Grand Vitara secured the tenth spot with sales of 11,339 units.

This was an improvement over the 10,148 units sold in November 2024 – resulting in a 12 per cent year-on-year increase. Along with the Victoris, Maruti’s midsize SUV offerings combined for over 23,000 units during the month. They are based on the same platform and have several commonalities in terms of features and appeal, and they overlap in prices too.

However, the new Victoris is sold through the regular Arena outlets while the Grand Vitara can be bought only through the Nexa premium chain appealing to a slightly different set of consumers. They share the same engine lineup but the design separates them largely. Their clever positioning helps Maruti Suzuki garner more volumes in the midsize space and it will be compounded by the launch of the e Vitara next month.
