launched the tenth generation Sunny in
India. It was a bigger alternative to
famous sedans like Maruti Suzuki Dzire
and Tata Zest.
After ten years of its launch, in 2020,
Sunny was discontinued. It also
happened because Nissan did not
introduce any changes in Sunny for
seven years. This made Sunny another
one of the average cars in the market
with an average look. In short, it fell out
of the competition in the Indian market.

5. Prices of Nissan Sunny

based on Nissan’s V-platform. The front
has big headlamps, fog lamps, and a
Teana-inspired chrome-plated radiator
grille. The side and rear profiles have
rather clean and simple designs. Also, it
features chrome door handles and a
sharp shoulder line. The rear profile also
features stretched tail lamps, a steeply
raked windshield with a body-coloured
bumper. The design was dynamic and
gave a sleek look to the Sunny car.

7. Interior
Sunny’s spacious interior cabin is one of the
biggest highlights of this car, especially for the
rear passengers. Further, it has a beige-toned
dashboard and piano black centre console. Also,
it features leather upholstered seats with a decent
level of comfort and several infotainment options
to choose from. So, the ride is not just smooth
but full of fun.
When it comes to style, the cabin is rather simple
and not to the liking of people who want stylish
cabins. Further, it has steering mounted controls,
twin-pod instrument cluster which displays the
necessary information like trip reading, fuel left
to empty, etc. It also featured an integrated music
system with four speakers, an Aux-in port, along
with the circular A/C vents.

10. Conclusion
Nissan discontinued Sunny in 2020 owing to low sales, the engine not being upgraded
to meet BS6 norms, and the shutting down of K9K diesel engine production by Nissan.
It is a decade-old car and has been in competition in the Indian automobile market for
a long time. Also, Nissan will launch its Sunny 2020 model in India with better
features and at an expected base price of Rs. 8.50 lakhs.
