Coming back to Sunny, i always like this car. It's a car which is difficult to dislike immediately. It looks sober, its reliable, it has both good petrol & diesel models, has acres of space, good interiors and BiiiiiiG Space which will make everyone happy, specially family members ![]() | |

| ![]() Thanks for the great review ! Since the CVT version will come only in one variant does it have ABS & Airbags standard? If not then can it be opted for and at what price? The review mentions that the top end gets bluetooth but does the mid level CVT also get bluetooth? (I see a phone sign on the HU) Lastly, has the quality of plastics been improved?

BHPian ![]() | ![]() With huge passenger space, useful boot, great mileage and (being Nissan) good reliability, Sunny is best suited to become a Taxi. With 'OLA' taxi kind of colors, even the horrible shape/look also can be forgiven. Easily fits into the club of Etios and Dzire ![]() |

| ![]() Thanks for the crisp and clear review. I like the new front of the car. Its very similar to Nissan Altima I recently rented in US. Side profile and rear of the car continues to disappoint. What it needs is some sharper styling and edges to make it tight than big and bulky. Sharing pics of the car I rented in US. Altima also has similar side profile but the sharper lines make it look better though not great. ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() ^ Nissan should defiantly get the Altima in. It's the right time too since the accord and Passat have been discontinued. The superb rules the segment and Camry has limited sale. If they can price the Altima between 20-22 lakhs they can pull a winner. This will also help the brand image that currently is percieved as a low-mid level brand in India. Wish the japs were as proactive as the Germans to increase their offerings. |

| ![]() Nice review Flying Spur and great pics. The Nissan Sunny still has no competition if you are looking for a work horse, chauffeur driven with acres of space in the rear bench. The 1.5 L dci engine is super efficient too ! |

| ![]() Excellent Review, thanks for sharing ![]() The pictures are excellent, the one on the home page of TBHP that links to this thread reminded me of the year 2000 model of Altima (US), was my favourite back then ![]() Last edited by NPV : 21st June 2014 at 13:39. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Nice review covering every aspect of the facelift. Looking forward to more such reviews for other cars too when they get a facelift. I assume the variant-wise spec would be available only after they launch the facelift but the hint from the "Luxury Pack" and the "Safety Pack" is that they might have variants without safety kit. Any idea if the luxury/safety pack is available only for top variant or for all variants? Quote:

Nissan does not enjoy the brand equity that say a Toyota or maybe even the Skoda enjoys in the premium segment. Additionally, India runs on perception and Altima looks very similar to the much lower priced Sunny. May not be a great idea as this concept may not find takers. Moreover, Nissan is not popular with after sales and a 22 lac car from their stable may not find takers. Point in case- The beautiful Teana which doomed right from the word go!! | |
