Nissan Evalia launched in India; priced at Rs 8.49-9.99 lakhs

New Delhi: Nissan India has launched its all-new 2012 seven-seater Multi-utility vehicle, the Evalia on Tuesday.

The new product is priced between Rs 8.49 lakh and Rs 9.99 lakh (ex- showroom Delhi).

The Evalia, which will be available in four variants, all diesel, will be powered by Renault’s 1.5-litre K9K dCi engine that churns out a peak power and torque output of 85 bhp and 200 Nm, respectively.

"As part of our global Nissan Power 88 plan, we will be launching 10 new models by FY'16, which is introducing two new models every year," Nissan Motor Co Corporate vice president, Africa, Middle East and India, Toru Hasegawa told reporters here.

By FY14, the company will also launch the Datsun brand in India, he added.

"Emerging markets will play an important role in meeting our global target... There will be two products each from Datsun for India, Indonesia and Russia by FY'16," Hasegawa added.

Nissan will be considering all segments of the Indian market but special focus will be on the price sensitive segment.

Experts are also adding that the Nissan Evalia will give a tough competition to the Toyota Innova, Mahindra Xylo and the recently launched Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.

The interior cabin space of Evalia looks superb and seems to have been designed while keeping in mind the usefulness quotient.

The MUV in its global avatar, NV200, has already achieved a certain level success in the international market, being chosen as the new official taxicabs for the New York and London.

The Evalia, which is the joint venture of Japanese car maker Nissan and Indian commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland, was unveiled at 11th Auto Expo in Delhi.
