Best for long drives

Best for long drives and journey value for money best of the best car and best choice and good engine performance and mileage for saving your money just buy this car to make happiness

They don't want to give base variant to customers. Losing hope

I booked XE variant on dec14 still I didn't get allotment of delivery. I think they don't want to give base variant to customers who booked before January 1st. Car is value for money but Nissan India is not doing good with customers of base variant. I think they stopped manufacturing of xe variant
