Okay, straight up Nissan finally decided to jump into the affordable 7-seater MPV segment with the Gravite. And yeah, it’s basically a Triber underneath.

So if you’re hunting for a family-friendly MPV without breaking the bank, let me tell you the story of Gravite vs Triber.

Exterior Look and Feel
First glance, both look twins. Tall-boy stance, upright proportions, roofline all same. Side profile screams siblings. But front? Gravite is a little more aggressive. Piano black grille, honeycomb pattern, and GRAVITE lettering on the bonnet it kinda gives an SUV-ish vibe. Triber? Simple, clean, Renault signature style. Safe. Predictable.
LED DRLs on Gravite are slim and connected with a chrome strip modern touch. Triber’s straightforward. And these C-shaped silver accents on Gravite’s bumper adds a rugged feel. Side silhouettes similar, wheels? Different design. Tail lamps wraparound, almost identical, but Gravite adds chrome strip connecting them. Skid plates and badges are different too. Makes Gravite feel more urban somehow.
Colors are fun too. Gravite Onyx Black, Storm White, Metallic Grey, Blade Silver, Forest Green. Triber Amber Terracotta, Shadow Grey, Zanskar Blue, Ice Cool White, Moonlight Silver, Stealth Black. Personal choice, yeah?

Interior What’s Different Inside
Step in, and vibe changes. Gravite uses the older Triber dashboard clean, practical. Central touchscreen below AC vents, three rotary knobs for climate. Triber’s floating touchscreen feels premium. Simple story, right? Both are different inside.
Steering wheel and semi-digital cluster feel familiar, graphics different. Gravite has dual-tone black-beige theme, leatherette seats premium-ish touch. Beige inserts on dashboard and doors make cabin airy. Seats? Flat, upright comfort is priority. I remember hopping in a Gravite with friends last week, and we instantly noticed it felt a bit more “grown-up” than Triber. Triber’s charm? Simple and family-friendly.
Third row folding seats on both. But Gravite’s lower center console and AC vents are different. Small things matter. They really do. Makes a difference on long drives. Gravite feels modern, Triber feels familiar. Comfort or style you pick.
Features
Features? Almost twins. 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, 7-inch driver show, keyless access, manual AC with rear vents, cruise manage, wireless charger. Safety suits 6 airbags, rear parking sensors, digicam, ABS with EBD, ESC, TPMS. Family safe. Tech-friendly. Done.

Powertrain and Driving Feel
Engine same. 1-litre NA petrol, 72 PS, 96 Nm torque. Transmission? 5-speed MT and 5-speed AMT. Triber offers AMT only on top variant, Gravite mid-spec also gets AMT. City, highway both predictable, easy-going. Personal note Gravite feels slightly sporty, Triber relaxed. One day, I took Gravite on a small highway stretch. That little turbo kick? Fun. Triber on same stretch smooth and chill. Different personalities, same platform.
Price and Value
Gravite Rs 5.65 lakh Rs 8.93 lakh. Triber Rs 5.76 lakh Rs 8.60 lakh. Almost same value, but Gravite adds a bit more premium touch and flexibility. Triber? Strong, practical, reliable. Short story want style and subtle swag? Gravite. Need practical, spacious, family-oriented? Triber. Both solid. Your choice style or comfort. Simple as that.
