Since its launch, the MPV registered a sales of 2,412 units, whereas it rival – the Toyota Innova – has average monthly sales of 5, 250 units.

      Commenting on the discontinuation of the vehicle, the company said that the Evalia’s unconventional design and styling might be the reason it failed to meet sales expectations that the company had.

      The Nissan Evalia shares platform with the Ashok Leyland Stile that too was discontinued in May, 2015. Powering the MPV was a 1.5-litre dCi diesel engine, which was capable to produce 84.8bhp and 200Nm of torque. Mated with a 5-speed manual transmission, it returns am ARAI-rated fuel economy of 19.3kmpl. The Stile, too, was powered with the same engine, but it was tuned to offer 75bbhp and 185Nm of torque.
