Carmall.com - In its lineup for the family car segment (MPV), PT Nissan Motor Indonesia (NMI) presents many variants of cars, from premium to entry-level. There's the Elgrand (super premium), the Serena (middle class), and the Grand Livina (entry-level).
Now, NMI is back to present a new choice called the Evalia, Nissan's new entry level family car. This MPV, which is often known as "Baby Serena", since the very start has attracted the attention of many people. This comes as no surprise, considering that the Evalia competes against its well known peers like the Suzuki APV, Daihatsu Luxio, and Proton Exora.

Then I was suddenly reminded to what a fellow journalist from the oldest automotive magazine in Indonesia said, "Nissan has a European taste of car driving." It seems that what my friend said is practically proven. As before its official launch on June 7, 2012, the list of enthusiasts had exceeded 3,000. In the period of May to July 2012, the total number of booking orders for the Evalia hit an astonishing 5,200 units, where grey became the most favorite colour for consumers.

Can the Evalia compete? Against the likes of the Suzuki APV, Daihatsu Luxio, or the Proton Exora? It certainly has something to offer

Exterior
Just like its brother (Nissan Serena), Evalia also features a squarish design. But with some different accents though, such as the low rear light position (in line with the rail of the sliding door).
On the other side, the car's front fascia sports a premium MPV look with the long and sharp headlamps and bold lines on the bumper, giving an own uniqueness to this eight-seater car.
Unfortunately, on the SV and the S-type, the glass for the passengers in the second and third row are fixed glass, which means no windows to open, whereas the luxury type (XV) comes with sliding windows on the B-pillar, which will allow from a simple greet to other people outside, to the circulation of fresh air.

Another interesting fact was that the car that CarMall drove was the only car that didn't have to go to the gas station until the final test drive destination was reached.
