Teana is one of the most wonderful cars in this segment, the luxury is great, the rear passenger headrests are something to boast about.

I am quite disappointed with their planning of launching CBUs still in India.

Importantly, Nissan ought to work on more market relevant products. Read = hatchbacks & C segment sedans.

Yup, waiting for them to launch Micra in India.

Also, do the hotels buy these cars from abroad ? If they buy from local dealer then still will they be exempt from cutoms import duties ?

Nope, they buy the cars locally itself (most deals routed directly through manufacturer).

Does it have height adjustable driver seat. And is the driver and passenger seat powered? At this price, I think Nissan is targetting CR-V.

Yes. The driver's seat is height adjustable and the passenger seat is electrically adjustable only in the XV model. It is a three layer ventilated seat.

The interiors in X-Trail and Teana are of highest quality, period.

Dippy, I was referring to the X-Trail. Is the driver seat and passenger seat powered?

@Sarvodaya: The driver and co passenger seats are electrically adjustable but only the drivers seat has electric height adjust.

Good to hear that NISSAN is seriously gearing up in our country.
How abt you Mitsubishi? Bring down the diesel version of Cedia & Outlander with a competitive.

Consider this, Nissan has dealership in 7-8 cities vs 45 for Mitsubishi. It is a long road ahead for Nissan to catch up. Their Teana & X trail are good vehicles, brutally overpriced in India and hence flop show. BTW, how many do they sell every month, I doubt if the numbers are above 20 nation wide.

Another global giant bites dust in our country.
