In this part of the world they are called "hybrid" bikes[1]. Fast and sleek enough for regular city commute and rugged enough for occasional off-road cycling.

hybrid bikes are a bit different from gravel bikes. the latter tend to have drop bars, more mountain bike-ish gearing and a more road bike like sitting position compare: kona dew (a pretty traditional hybrid) https://www.konaworld.com/dew.cfm kona rove (firmly in the gravel/ adventure category) https://www.konaworld.com/rove_dl.cfm
