Nissan Gravite CNG: Dual-Cylinder Technology Coming Soon

The biggest buzz surrounds the Nissan Gravite CNG version, expected to launch shortly after the initial rollout. Nissan has confirmed a segment-first dual-cylinder CNG kit, offered as a dealer-level retrofitment.

This setup preserves more boot space compared to traditional single-cylinder systems, even with all three rows in use addressing a key pain point for MPV buyers.

While exact Nissan Gravite CNG price details are yet to be announced (some sources mention an expected figure around Rs 9.20 lakh for a higher variant like Tekna CNG), the addition promises significantly lower running costs.

This aligns with the rising popularity of CNG MPVs in India, especially in regions with widespread CNG availability.The dual-cylinder tech is highlighted as unique, enhancing practicality for families who need seating flexibility without sacrificing luggage room.

Safety and Features

Safety is a strong suit, with six airbags standard across variants, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), and other essentials. The interior offers modern touches like independent rear AC vents, foldable second- and third-row seats, and multiple upholstery options.

Competition and Market Positioning

The Gravite directly rivals the Renault Triber (its platform sibling) and appeals to buyers eyeing entry-level 7-seater cars under 10 lakh. Its pricing positions it as one of India’s most affordable genuine 7-seaters, competing against budget-conscious options in the compact MPV space.

With the upcoming dual-cylinder CNG variant, the Gravite strengthens its case in the best CNG cars for families category, joining models like the Nissan Magnite CNG (already available with retrofit kits starting around Rs 6-7 lakh ex-showroom).

As Nissan expands its India portfolio, following the Magnite—this MPV signals a renewed push for affordable, efficient mobility. Expect more updates on the Nissan Gravite CNG launch date, exact pricing, and mileage figures soon, likely making it a hot seller in the cost-sensitive Indian market.
