Positioning and competition
With aggressive pricing starting at Rs 5.65 lakh, the Gravitas undercuts many 5-seater hatchbacks while offering genuine 7-seat practicality. It will primarily compete with the Renault Triber, while also targeting entry-level MPV buyers and those seeking a budget-conscious SUV. The introduction of dual cylinder CNG, extended warranty up to 10 years and zero service cost for 5 years can play an important role in building buyer confidence.
With the Gravit, Nissan is clearly aiming to expand beyond the Magnite and gain momentum in the Indian mass-market segment. Within the next 12 months they will also launch the Tecton and a 7 seater SUV. Increasing sales and service touchpoints is also a priority for the coming years.
