Nissan Sunny, the compact sedan from the Japanese carmaker has recently received a huge price cut in India. According to the revised prices, the Sunny is now cheaper by Rs. 81,113 to Rs. 1.9 lakh depending on which variant you chose to buy. It is the top-of-the-line petrol automatic variant that has received the maximum price cut. Interestingly, last year Nissan also slashed the prices of the Micra hatchback thus making its CVT variant the most affordable CVT hatchback in the market. Now with the price cut on the Sunny, Nissan has managed to offer the most affordable CVT sedan as well.
| Nissan Sunny | Variants | New Prices | Old Prices | Difference |
| Petrol | XE | Rs. 6.99 lakh | Rs. 7.91 lakh | Rs. 92,300 |
| XL | Rs. 7.59 lakh | Rs. 8.40 lakh | Rs. 81,133 | |
| XV CVT | Rs. 8.99 lakh | Rs. 10.89 lakh | Rs. 1.90 lakh | |
| Diesel | XE | Rs. 7.49 lakh | Rs. 8.80 lakh | Rs. 1.31 lakh |
| XL | Rs. 7.99 lakh | Rs. 9.46 lakh | Rs. 1.47 lakh | |
| XV | Rs. 8.99 lakh | Rs. 9.93 lakh | Rs. 94,000 |
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.
