Review of the SUNNY

Have you seen Sunny lately??????


No, not the super Deol. I am talking about the new offering from the stable of Nissan the Japanese automaker. The new Nissan Sunny is the latest entrant in the sedan category this year. Nissan have not had a fairytale experience with the Teana and the X-Trail, but they showed promise with the Micra. Could the Sunny be the car that changes the fortune for Nissan? Only time will tell.....


First let me tell you that the Sunny has been launched in three variants- base XE, mid-level XL and top-end XV. The prices are 5.78 Lakh, 6.88 Lakh and 7.68 Lakh respectively ex showroom New Delhi.


All those who are unaware about the Sunny, This is the 10th generation of the car. Past generations of Sunny have been a very successful in the Gulf. The name was selected through a contest that invited Nissan's customers in Japan to choose what they would like to call it.


I am not happy with the look of the car. Its not a sort of a design that make me weak in the knees when i look at it, and yet the presence of the car makes you comfortable to look at. It is like just another car next to you. For me the best part of the car is the front. The front bumper looks raised and the front grille looks fresh. The rear of the car looks dull and outdated. Looking at the car from the side makes you feel assured that there will be enough room on the inside and on this the Sunny does not disappoint.




The interiors remind you of the Micra in many ways. The colours used on the inside are completely opposite to what the name suggests and look dull, in fact the lack of colour actually takes away from the car's appealing array of gadgets to some extent. The list of features that the car boasts of is exhaustive which include steering mounted controls, a push-to-start button, climate control, Rear A/C vents, electronically adjustable rear view mirrors, an integrated audio system with 4 speakers and AUX, remote key less entry, Alloy wheels and air bags to name a few.



The sunny has a lot of things to make it a winner Space in the cabin and a large boot to boast about and it also has a lot of things going against it like the looks especially when you compare it with the competition in the market. The likes of Hyundai Verna, VW Polo, Ford Fiesta, Honda City will be tough competition on the grounds of looks and features and the Tata Indigo Manza will be the car aiming when it comes to space so it is tough road ahead for Nissan......



Let me know what do you feel about the car!!!!!
