It was just a couple of months back that Nissan launched the updated 2017 Sunny sedan in India and despite the updates, it is still struggling to catch up to its rival - Honda City, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and Hyundai Verna. That said with the price cut the Sunny surely becomes the most affordable sedan in its segment. Moreover, the company has also removed the range-topping XV Premium (Safety) variant, which was earlier available only in a diesel engine option.
