Two battery pack options are expected, with the larger unit offering a claimed driving range of up to 543 km. The Urban Cruiser EV will be positioned in the midsize SUV segment and is expected to focus on features, range, and build quality.
Nissan Gravite MPV (January 21)
Nissan will reveal the Gravite on January 21. Based on the CMF-A+ platform, the Gravite is a sub-4 metre MPV derived from the Renault Triber but differentiated through revised styling elements.
It is expected to use a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with manual and AMT gearbox options, along with the possibility of a dealer-fitted CNG variant. Pricing is likely to sit slightly above the Renault Triber.
Three distinct launches over a short span highlight the continued momentum in India’s car market as manufacturers expand their line-ups across multiple segments.
