Nissan Evalia Prices (ex-showroom, New Delhi)

Nissan Evalia XE - Rs.8.49 lakh

Nissan Evalia XE+ - Rs. 8.92 lakh

Nissan Evalia XV - Rs. 9.99 lakh

     The Evalia is powered by Renault sourced 1.5 L dCi diesel engine producing 84 Bhp of power and 20.4 Kgm of torque, mated to a 5 speed manual gear box. It delivers fuel efficiency of 19.3 Kmpl as per ARAI. Nissan keeping the safety features first, ABS and EBD are standard on all variants.

     The Evalia is built on Nissan’s NV200 platform. It has 7 seats in three row configuration and two sliding doors like the famous Maruti Van. Nissan doesnot want to call the Evalia a MPV, instead refers its as n a ‘Urban Utility Class Vehicle’ (UUCV). Is that a new segment in the making, we will have to wait and see.

     The Evalia will compete with Toyota Innova, Mahindra Xylo and the latest entrant Maruti Ertiga. Having priced close to Ertiga, the Evalia has an advantage over its competitors. Nissan aims at family car buyers but we feel it will certainly end up in the fleet operator segment.
