Nissan Gravite Variants Explained: Which Trim Should You Choose?
From base Visia to top Tekna Launch Edition, here’s how each Nissan Gravite variant differs in features, safety and value.
Nissan has officially entered the budget MPV segment in India with the Gravite. Priced between ₹5.65 lakh and ₹8.93 lakh, this new model offers five different trim levels to suit various needs and budgets. It is designed for families who need the flexibility of seven seats without a high price tag. Here is a detailed look at what each variant offers to help you decide which one is right for you.
Visia MT: Base Model
The Visia is the entry-level variant and comes only with a manual transmission. Even as a base model, it includes projector headlamps and a digital instrument cluster. Practicality is a strong point here, with a second row that can fold, slide, and recline, plus a third row that you can remove entirely for more storage. For safety, Nissan has included six airbags and electronic stability control (ESP) as standard, which is impressive for a base trim. It rides on steel wheels and features a simple all-black interior.
Acenta MT: The Value Choice
The Acenta trim adds more comfort and technology while remaining affordable. It also only comes with a manual gearbox. The biggest upgrade is the 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which supports wireless phone mirroring. To make the drive more convenient, it features steering-mounted audio controls. Importantly for Indian weather, this trim adds dedicated air conditioning vents for both the second and third rows, ensuring all passengers stay cool.
N-Connecta MT/AMT: The Balanced Mid-Trim
The N-Connecta is where you first get the choice between a manual and an automated manual transmission (AMT). This variant adds a reverse camera with dynamic guidelines to help with parking. On the outside, it gets crystal edge LED tail lamps and roof rails that can carry up to 50kg of load. Inside, the cabin feels more premium with dual-tone beige and black upholstery. It also includes a cooled glovebox and center console to keep your drinks and snacks chilled.
Tekna MT/AMT: The Feature-Packed Top Trim
As the top-spec variant, the Tekna includes all the modern features most buyers look for. It upgrades to LED headlights and 15-inch dual-tone flex wheels. Inside, the driver gets a larger 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster. Convenience is improved with a push-button start and a wireless phone charger. It also adds front parking sensors, which is a rare but useful feature in this price bracket.
Tekna Launch Edition MT/AMT: The Exclusive Pick
For the first 1,001 buyers, Nissan is offering a special Launch Edition based on the Tekna trim. This version adds a premium JBL sound system and a dual dashcam for extra security. It also focuses on health and comfort with a built-in air purifier and special neck and lumbar cushions for the seats. Ambient lighting and unique body graphics help this edition stand out from the standard models.

Team Analysis
The Nissan Gravite is priced in a very smart way, starting at ₹5.65 lakh and clearly going after buyers who are considering cars like the Maruti Swift and Tata Punch rather than just other MPVs, which shows Nissan wants to pull hatchback and small SUV customers toward something bigger and more practical without asking them to stretch their budget.
One of the biggest strengths of the Gravite is its safety package, because every variant comes with six airbags and electronic stability control as standard, which is not common in this price range where these features are usually limited to higher models, and this gives it a strong advantage over many rivals.
It is built on the CMF-A+ platform and comes with a removable third row, so when you do not need seven seats you can remove the last row and get a massive 625-litre boot, which makes it far more practical than most hatchbacks at a similar price. This flexibility is what really makes the Gravite stand out.
Nissan also offers an AMT option starting from the mid N-Connecta variant, which makes sense for city buyers who want the comfort of an automatic along with the practicality of a seven-seater, especially in daily traffic.
The Nissan Gravite feels like a sensible and practical car for Indian families. Its biggest strength is how easily it adapts to different needs, whether it is daily office drives, weekend shopping, long trips with luggage, or full family outings.
The strong safety package across all variants shows that Nissan is serious about offering better value in the budget segment. The 1.0-litre engine is tuned more for fuel efficiency than performance, but it delivers enough power for regular city driving and relaxed highway cruising without feeling stressed.
For most buyers, the Acenta variant looks like the most balanced choice because it offers key features like a touchscreen and rear AC vents at a reasonable price. If you prefer an automatic gearbox, then the N-Connecta variant is the better option.
Overall, the Gravite offers more space and better safety than many popular hatchbacks in the same price range, and it proves that even on a tight budget, you do not have to compromise on space or safety.
