Nissan India to hike price of Sunny and Micra starting November

Nissan Motor India will hike the price of its Sunny sedan and the Micra hatchback from 1 November 1. The Japanese automaker has attributed the hike to increasing input costs and rise in cost of transportation and logistics. However, the prices of the new MUV, the Evalia, will remain unchanged.

Commenting on the hike, Nitish Tipnis, director - sales and marketing, Hover Automotive India said, “The prices are being revised to partially offset appreciation in input and transportation costs. While all leading automobile companies raised prices earlier this year, we at Nissan absorbed rising input costs and held back the price hike. Although we have now reached the stage where we have to make an adjustment, I can assure all customers that both Micra and Sunny will continue to represent outstanding value within the market’.

With Nissan hiking the prices of its bread and butter models, we expect Renault to also raise the cost of the Pulse hatchback and the Scala sedan for similar reasons very soon.
