Nissan officially launched the Sunny at Rs 5.78 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). At present, the Sunny gets a 1.5-litre petrol engine that generates 99bhp and 134Nm of peak torque and comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
Nissan has extended the V-platform to increase the wheelbase and with it, interior room. The Sunny also has a large boot. Like the Micra, the Sunny gets keyless entry and engine start/stop function. It shares other bits from the Micra as well, like the circular arrangement of the air con buttons. ABS, EBD, brake assist and airbags are standard kit, which is a big plus for the Sunny. After the Micra, the Sunny is probably the most important car for Nissan and its plans for the Indian market for it will compete in a segment where people are particularly finicky about the value they get from the money they spend.
