The Sunny will compete with other vehicles in the C-segment such as the Volkswagen Vento, Honda City, Skoda Rapid, Tata Manza, Maruti SX4, Ford Fiesta Classic and Hyundai Verna. The competition in this segment is growing so Nissan Sunny needs to provide new features to grab the attention of car enthusiasts and buyers.  The Sunny feels solid and bodywork defines just that. The materials used inside the car are of good quality with the plastics feeling nice to look and touch. As for the features, Sunny comes loaded to the brim with keyless entry, intelligent key push button ignition, auto-ac, electric ORVMs, steering mounted controls, alloy wheels, ABS, EBD, BA and more. To cool things off a bit for the rear passengers, get a rear comfort fan that sits between the front seats. And the good news is that most of the features are available from the mid variant itself. Nissan’s commitment to safety reflects in the features like ABS+EBD+BA and driver side airbag that is fitted in all the variants. The Nissan Sunny is powered by a 1.5L, DOHC petrol engine that produces 99 PS at 6000 rpm and 134 Nm at 4000 at its maximum.Though the figures may look less powerful than its competitive counterparts, Sunny plays willfully to your commands without hesitations. While the engine is well refined and responses immediately to your needs, Sunny accelerates quickly and builds power linearly. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox that feels solid and drops to successive positions without any hassle but the tranny could have been much softer.With 16.95 kmpl ARAI certified fuel economy, the Sunny has also ticked the essential factor that car buyers are looking at. This variant features the 1498cc 4-cylinder engine producing 98bhp and is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The interiors feature power steering, tilt steering, power windows and air conditioning. Safety comes in the from of a driver airbag, ABS with EBD and brake assist.
