Interiors: Interiors of Evalia is not that appealing it has simple looks with old style AC and other interiors are too glossy, no doubt the dashboard is very useful but less attractive. Personally, Ertiga interiors are bit better and dual tone finish is cool and takes the points away from Evalia.

Exteriors: Ertiga is charmingly designed to look sleek in spite of a MPV. The LUV thoughtfully reflects in every aspect of Maruti Ertiga. Nissan Evalia poses a decent look from front but it is boxy from side and rear, to say it does not make an impression.

Verdict: Nissan Evalia is sure a MPV with great head room and leg space and strong engine whereas Maruti Ertiga which has been uniquely featured as LUV is lighter for city drive accommodates 7 passengers the last row is stuffy. Ertiga has gain popularity as when it was launched there was no hurdle on its way; let’s see how much struggle Evalia has to undertake to build its stand.

Nissan Evalia vs. Maruti Ertiga is going to be tough as Ertiga is really a value for money car for the Indian family who are longing to buy a MPV and their dream has been made possible by Maruti foresightedness. The upcoming cars like Quanto from Mahindra and Mahindra etc. will make the scenario different in coming time.
