Writer's picture: Story CarsStory Cars

The 2003 Nissan Evalia Concept represents Nissan's vision for a compact family vehicle that merges sporty aesthetics with practical functionality. Designed by Nissan's European design team at their newly established London studio, the Evalia showcases innovative features aimed at appealing to both young families and image-conscious drivers.


One of the Evalia's most distinctive design elements is its coupé-like silhouette, which contrasts with the practicality typically associated with minivans. This sleek design is complemented by parallel opening front and rear doors, eliminating the central B-pillar. This feature not only enhances the vehicle's visual appeal but also allows for easier access to the passenger compartment, making it convenient for families with children.



Inside, the Evalia prioritizes space and storage solutions while maintaining a sporty driving experience. The interior is designed to feel more like a sports car than a traditional minivan, featuring a lowered driving position and sports suspension that deliver an engaging driving experience. This approach reflects the idea that parenthood need not compromise one’s passion for driving.


Despite its compact size, the Evalia aims to provide ample interior space, addressing the needs of families who require room for passengers and cargo. The design caters to an active lifestyle, incorporating multifunctional aspects that accommodate everyday family life while appealing to those who value style and performance.


Overall, the Nissan Evalia Concept embodies a modern interpretation of the family vehicle, merging innovative design with practicality, and suggesting a future direction for the C-segment that resonates with both functionality and emotional appeal.
