Nissan Motors, the Japanese auto maker, successfully pulled off the curtains from its first urban class vehicle, Evalia, in the Indian auto industry on September 25, 2012. Within first week of its launch, the model was able to find 160 buyers which is quite impressive. The car has been offered in four different trims, namely XE, XE+, XL and XV. Considering price of these models, the base variant, XE, is tagged at Rs. 8.49 lacs, while the XE+ version is priced at Rs. 8.92 lacs. Evalia XL is offered at a purchase consideration of Rs. 9.49 lacs, while top end variant, XV, can be brought for Rs. 9.99 lacs.
This new model from the stables of Nissan is pitched against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Toyota Innova and Chevrolet Tavera Neo 3. With an economical price tag of Rs. 8.49 lacs, the model features a performance oriented K9K engine which has the potential to belt out a maximum power of 83 bhp with a peak torque of 200 Nm at a fairly low 2000 rpm. In order to improve the performance of this powertrain, it has been mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox which transfers the generated power to its front wheels.
Although the engine of Evalia Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) has brilliant output, it does not lag on the grounds of fuel efficiency. With a seating capacity of seven passengers, the model covers a distance of around 19 kmpl, which clearly represents its efficiency. Nissan Evalia boasts of several comfort features, which adds to the convenience of its passengers. Advancements like air conditioning vents at all the rows, ample space at boot, easy sliding doors, efficient music system and foldable rear seats are equipped within the recently launched model.
Besides, the model holds several safety advancements that ensure complete security of its passengers. Features like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), engine immobiliser and Electronic Break-force Distribution (EBD) are equipped as a part of standard accessory. With all these features and advancements, industry experts believe that the Nissan Evalia is a good deal from the Japanese auto maker to go for.
