New Nissan Sunny launched at Rs 5.78 lakh

Nissan has launched its new Sunny sedan in Mumbai today. The Sunny will be available in three variants - XE, XL and XV, and is powered by  a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. The car will go on sale immediately, with deliveries expected to commence by October 3.

The three variants of the new Nissan Sunyy are priced accordingly:

Nissan Sunny XE - Rs 5,78,000

Nissan Sunny XL - Rs 6,88,000

Nissan Sunny XV - Rs 7,68,000

At the price, the Suny is exceedingly good value for money. Event the base XE version comes with power steering, air conditioning, power windows, central locking and anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). A driver's side airbag is standard as well. The next version, XL, adds a rear defogger, music system, remote central locking, wheel covers, and a rear blower to re-circulate the cool air in the cabin. The top of the line XV variants gets 15-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, and smart keyless entry push button smart.

At this price, Nissan has truly re-aligned the expectations of the market, and will surely cause many other manufacturers to review their pricing strategy.
