Areas of improvement ADDING AN HAND TO THE FRONT SEAT WOULD ENHANCE THE COMFORT. 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. So, if the Sunny really has to shine then it must offer space, equipment, reliability, power and economy. But does Nissan’s new Sunny offer all these? AUTO BILD INDIA’s forthcoming issue has the answer to that one.

• The 1.5-litre petrol engine generates 99bhp and 134Nm of peak torque. Nissan is also developing a diesel variant.

• The 5-speed manual transmission slots in alright but is somewhat notchy.

• There’s sufficient grunt even from as low as 1500rpm so that the car is actually easy to drive without needing too many downshifts.

• 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.

• The Sunny boasts a cushy and comfortable ride with the suspension ironing out most irregularities the road can throw at it.
