The starting price of Nissan Gravit’s CNG kit has been kept at Rs 82,999 and it is available in 60 cities of 16 states.
Nissan India has today launched the government approved CNG retrofit kit for the Gravite in the Indian market. It becomes the first 7-seater SUV in its segment to feature a two-cylinder CNG setup, yet the third rear seat can be fully used.
The starting price of this kit has been kept at Rs 82,999 and it is available through Nissan’s dealer network in 60 cities in 16 states. The biggest feature of this CNG kit is its twin-cylinder setup, in which two 25-liter cylinders are provided. Because of this, the third row seat is not affected.
Nissan says that providing CNG option while maintaining 7-seater capacity is the biggest distinguishing feature of this MPV. This kit has been developed and manufactured by Motozen and has also received safety and reliability approval from ICAT. It has a sequential system as per BS6.2 standards, strong cylinder (8.1 mm thickness) and specially optimized Dynamic Advancer technology for the engine.
The fuel filling point is located inside the existing fuel lid, giving it a factory-fit clean look and switching from petrol to CNG is also said to be easy and smooth. This kit also comes with a third-party warranty of 3 years or 1 lakh kilometres.
Gravite CNG is for families who travel a lot every day. In which people want to go to office, drop children to school or go out and also want good mileage at low cost. In cities with CNG, the cost per kilometer can be much lower than petrol, due to which even the cost of Rs 82,999 can be easily recovered in some time. Gravite came into the market only a few months ago and since then it has been playing an important role in increasing the sales of the company.
Nissan executive Thierry Sabbagh said, “Adding the CNG option to the new Gravite is a big and important step. Through Gravite CNG, the company wants to provide a better and more practical car for customers who want more space for their family, everyday ease and economical vehicle, especially in cities where CNG is used more.”
