Quick Answer
Finding a genuinely capable, modern 7-seater in Sri Lanka at a sensible price is harder than it sounds. Most buyers end up choosing between older used Japanese vans and MPVs that lack current safety tech, or paying significantly more for large SUVs that deliver three rows but at a very different price point.
The Nissan Gravite Tekna Launch Edition sits in a gap in the market: a brand new, well-equipped 7-seater with full LED lighting, a digital cockpit, premium upholstery, wireless charging, and JBL audio, all covered by a 3-year comprehensive warranty. This article covers everything Sri Lankan buyers need to know, including a direct comparison with the Toyota Raize Z Grade Hybrid, which costs approximately Rs. 14,500,000.

What Engine Does the Nissan Gravite Use and Is It Suitable for Sri Lankan Roads?
Direct Answer
The Nissan Gravite uses a 1.0-litre B4D naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 72 PS at 6,250 rpm and 96 Nm of torque at 3,400 to 3,600 rpm. It is paired with a 5-speed EZ-Shift AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) and is ARAI-rated at 19.6 km/l. The engine is straightforward, naturally aspirated, and well-suited to Sri Lankan conditions where fuel consistency and long-term maintenance costs matter.
