0-100kph in calander days. And thats going downhill.

agreed, they really didnt think the powerplant choice well, I mean the city car kwid its barely enough,
to now fatten it up and squeeze 7 people in it, you got to be joking,

I just think they figure for India where people drive mopeds and scooters and fit 10 people on them,
then whats the problem to take a small city car and make it bigger,but keep the same tiny engine,

hey if it works in a scooter, than whats the problem in a car.
I mean in India the Maruti 800 can haul 15 people at 20 KMPH,

we can do better than that.

we can fit 20 people in this thing, and let it crawl along India's pothole streets at 10 KM/h

clearly they designed this t*rd for the wrong country, with different roads and laws.

Yup. As with most saffers, 7 people, thats almost a ton of extra weight. So walking is your best bet.

Edit: In India, 7 people are about 400kg extra. So might work there, but RSA and other, no.
Getting that thing up the hills here, well, you're just going to pissoff people. It's like that little Bajaj electric car, useless, iratation and just push it over onto the pavement with your finger, or pick it up and throw it in the skip.

exactly, its a case of what works in India or China wont work for a Formerly western country like SA, and why Bakkies and 4X4's are so popular here.

why they didn't adapt it and fit a 1.4 engine or something with a bit more horsepower for our conditions,
or as usual, stickers and povo spec and sell it to the south Africans (at great expense) who never complain, its an upgrade from walking for them,


I mean they didn't try selling this in other RHD markets like Australia, they would take one look at this anemic slow POS and laugh their heads off and never allow it on their roads, even if they now allow JDM spec cars legally on their roads.

even the Aussies arent that desperate to allow Indian spec slowmobiles
 
Don't get me wrong, this is a great bet for city/town taxi owners, given the city/town is flat. No uphills, no long traveling, lets say 10km or less. You got a gem, given a very slow and cheap one, like giving your SO fools gold, instead of a real gold ring.
But here's the thing, the'll sell thousends of these (Probably mostly main India and surrounds, China has their own and possibly better powered).
This is a very sad attempt from Nissan to compete with China auto makers.

Even a 1.3 from a Tazz or a CiTi Golf is better than that

they should try selling this in Holland, oh wait, it will crumple like a tissue box if a twig hits it,
no way it meets safety specs,

hence my point of selling this POS to countries that don't have much safety laws, want a fancy stereo and some stickers,
technically can seat 7 has seat-belts (that will never get used), and is the equivalent of a Tuk Tuk with 7 seats.

and this is my problem with this thing, Nissan could sell something better, much better, possibly a Dacia with a bigger engine better crash protection, better features, and nicer ride, enough to handle Europe easily,

but instead were given a rebadged triber, that just isnt good enough, and forced onto us with a few stickers and some weird paint,
and we are not given much choice.

we really are a dumping ground for stuff they cant sell anywhere else,
we export the decent stuff and import the garbage at great expense. how is that fair?

Pretty good traction/take-up/up-take in this new Nissan thread :thumbsup:

Bet you that's MUCH MORE 'traction / take-up / up-take' than watching a fully-laden Nissan Gravite in Gauteng / Mpumalanga / Limpopo attempting to ascend ANY uphill gradient with an incline that's MORE than 0.00000001%...

It will be an ACTUAL example of the uneven fight between Gravite vs Gravity... 🇿🇦🤡:p

Nissan has announced the launch of the Gravite compact MPV in India. It is available in five variants with prices starting at Rs 5.65 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Nissan Gravite shares its underpinnings with the Renault Triber. It features a gloss black hexagonal grille and a front bumper with silver C-shaped inserts. It has smoked headlamps with integrated LED DRLs and smoked taillights with a chrome garnish in the centre.

The ‘Gravite’ lettering can be seen on the sculpted bonnet and on the tailgate. Other details include roof rails, black wheel arch claddings and 15-inch flex wheels.

The Gravite has a two-tone interior and can seat up to 7 people. The MPV comes with a 3-spoke steering wheel, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also has automatic climate control with rear AC vents, a wireless charger, rain-sensing wipers, TPMS, a rearview camera and 6 airbags.

The Launch Edition of the Gravite comes equipped with a dual-channel dashcam, ambient lighting and a JBL sound system.

Powering the Gravite is a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 71 BHP and 96 Nm. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox.

Nissan is offering a standard warranty of 3 years / 1,00,000 km and an extended warranty of up to 10 years / 5,00,000 km.

Seven reasons not to buy the Nissan Gravite

1. Underpowered engine: The 1.0L naturally aspirated petrol engine produces 72hp of max power and 96 Nm of peak torque. The same engine powers the Renault Triber, where it feels underpowered when carrying a full load of seven passengers.

2. Lack of premium features: It lacks modern "feel-good" features such as a sunroof, 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, etc.

3. Tight third-row space: The compact sub-4 metre length limits third-row space. It is best suited for children only.

4. Interior materials: The interior quality feels average compared to rival MPVs. The cabin layout also feels outdated.

5. Limited high-end safety tech: While it includes six airbags as standard, it does not offer advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and some other modern safety features.

6. Limited boot space: With all 7 seats in use, it offers only 84 litres of boot space, which is almost useless.

7. After-sales service: Nissan's after-sales service could also be a problem due to limited touch points.
