Purchase New | Driven forIts my mate since ages |
Exterior Exteriors are nice, give a feeling of a big expensive sedan. Happy with the car atleast for those who havent driven it
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space but looks like that they have curtailed the bottom of the seat. I am used to keeping my mobile phones in front of me on the seat between the legs while driving and with this car they always keep falling. Infact its atleast 2 inches smaller compared to a dzire VXI or a Skoda Laura.
The car is too light and becomes bumpy on all pot holes, the shockers are also not too smooth (comparing with dzire best shockers even better than the laura). Plus since its an overgrown car without much internal fittings it makes a lot of noise like hitting a large metal box which is all hollow.
The brakes - everytime i put a brake on speed above 50, everything on the rear side (including passengers) comes down. The car feels to be too unstable while driving especially when braking and turning.
The turning radius of the car is too large and you have to atleast take 2 turns.
Gear - the first gear usually has a problem. Also i think its gear ratio has been lowered to be driven at higher gears at a lower speed. I usually do not come below 2nd gear even on almost '0' speeds and at a 80 kmph at 5th gear the rpm goes beyond 3. So its more of a city drive (easy to drive in traffic) but not a highway car as beyond 80 it starts giving out a lot of noise.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is good. 14-15 kmpl in petrol is good. Its low on maintenance.
Ride Quality & Handling Bad ride quality - see above
Final Words Not worth the money. I would rather spend a bit more and buy a Hyundai Verna / skoda rapid (rapid is again low on quality of plastics like sunny). so best car in this segment remains verna or a honda city or Sx4.
Areas of improvement NA.
Good space, kids can easily play at the rear its like a small moving room. So space (not comfort)Bad breaks, too light a car so always a rough driveExterior/Styles

Sunny has a very distinct look, very different from most of the other popular sedans. In far East you see it as Almera, as Versa in the US. (+) Good space,drive quality, mileage, Nissan engineering, value for money. (-)Interior short of glamour, beaten hands down by it's peers. It's popularity with taxi operators and fewer service centres makes it bit unpopular as a private car.

Exterior Ok. Poor quality of materials. WIND Sheild broke on it own in Bangalore weather.. NISSAN rejected the warranty claiming front bumber was changed before 1 month.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good. Spacious but very limited features. You dont even have the external temperature sensor. Very basic interiors. There is no big difference between the XL and XV version except for the alloy wheels, chrome finished handles and alloy wheels.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Average. Gets sudden acceleration.
Ride Quality & Handling OK. Good.
Final Words DONT Buy this CAAARRR. Terrible service network.. There were 46 CARs in queue to receive the front bumber to be shipped from Korea.
Dont Buy this CAAAAR. Pathetic service if you get any problem. It is not worth waiting for your CAAAR for more than 6 weeks to replace a front bumper. Finally ended up paying 50%. They changed the complete bonnet for the minor scratch as they dont have trained people.
Areas of improvement Change your dealer and service people.

Exterior The exterior looks and styling is exceptional especially in white colour. The front bumper, head lamps, grill and the back boot is got a unique rounded look. Stretched in size as compared to many sedans at this price point. I am enjoying the admiration of the car with its fresh in appeal and novelty factor owning a Nissan car in the city of Mumbai.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The colour scheme of the dash, fabric and other material is good and feels re-freshing. The space and comfort for passengers is simply outstanding. The fit and finish of the material used is nice. XL Petrol version has the is stuffed with features for the urban family needs.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Having completed around 1500 kms the performance of the petrol engine is nice; pick is smooth and currently I am getting mileage of around 12-13 km/ltr in city conditions. Though I think this shall improve to upwards of 15 km/ltr as the car completes 5000 kms with the first oil change.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride is comfortable in city and highways; though I havnt yet crossed the speed of 90kms/hr.
Final Word More than satisfied with the purchase and let me remind all its not just a car... its a CAAAR !
Areas of improvement Improve the size of tyre 14" to 15" thereby further augmenting ride quality. The gearbox needs some improvement, as feels notchy at times.

Exterior Very good exterior.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent space and great comfort.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is bad. Gear shift is very hard even after 1000kms driving.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality good. Gear shift horrible.
Final Words Pathetic mileage. Cheated byVibrant Nissan Secunderabad. Promised at least 14 in city driving conditions and the mileage I get is around 8-9. This is my second sunny and I was all praise for my first sunny which was XV diesel. However the CVT version is pathetic. My advise to all is to just go for other better cars in the market.
Areas of improvement Mileage, Customer service. I had taken the vehicle thrice to get the mileage checked and everytime I get a stock reply that it depends on driving condition. I have been driving for 22 years now and this is my first bad experience. The service team was of no help.
I am contemplating proceeding against Vibrant Nissan.

Hi All,
This is an initial ownership report for diesel version.
My caar has already drove 6000+ kms during my 4 months ownership.
So, for quite longtime I am planning to replace my lovely baby ACCent CRDi which has run 1,50,000 kms on ODO. Which is very good sedan for highways. Only car suspensions became so weak other than that every thing is perfect with the car. But I am worried with the engine, becoming older and scarred to go long journeys fearing of engine breakdown😉.So decided to sell my old accent car to buy a new caar. I took the car delivery in Lucky nissan,vijayawada and sadly did not received any single free goodies.Dealer also has charged 6000 rs as handling charges.
1St Long Journey: The day after receiving my caar,we embarked to travel to Bellary. Total five people with my 2 months old baby with luggage of 90+ kgs in boot. after reaching my destination, I checked my mileage using full tank method and found to be 21+ km/liter. I have not noticed the average fuel indicator of my drive computer.not aware of it as it new to explore all. In this trip, I have not crossed 90 kms and half of the roads are not 4 lane mixed with bad roads.And sadly my 2 days old caar has broken his rear view driver side mirror (not the complete set only the mirror inside got broken) . I am travelling at 80+ kms speed on a rural village road and suddenly from my right side a mob of crashing buffalos rushed towards my car through a small bushy road.I hve applied sudden brakes and bufalo crashed my rear view mirror , due to this crash mirror inside the set got loose and fell over the road and broken to pieces. The rear view mirrors are just hooked into the set and they are very delicate too.
2nd Long Journey:This time I traveled with my wife and baby from Blore to Vijayawada. maintained proper tyre pressure and maintained speeds of 100 kms /hr. once after reaching my destination my driver computer is showing 29.1 km/lit. I am so surprised and got my tank filled and found to be nearly 26 kms/liter 😎 whhich is really a fantastic mileage figure.
one of trip from Hyd - Blore recently, I have got a mileage of 23.8 km/liter with me and wife+baby and boot of 50+ kgs.And drive computer showing me 28.9 km/liter. Drive computer seems to be largely varies with reality when car is fully loaded and boot contains heavy luggage.
I am really happy with the mileage I am getting in city and highways.
City driving: Sunny is very easy to drive in city and highways. You would have a bird view like sight when sitting in driver seat.No turbo lag, even at 25 kms speed you can drive in 3rd gear. I used to get 17 -18 km/liter in blore city driving.
Major problem of this car is GC is very less when driving on bad roads and big bumps. My sunny has scrapped many times n blore city when car is fully loaded and boot containing airport lugguage of 90+ kgs. please follow the tyre pressure guidelines near to your driver seat. earlier I did not followed and later after following it, feeling better now. Rest I do not see any major issues and it all depends on how you feel it.
Exterior Good.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Lots of space inside comared to my accent CRdi, feels very luxurious driving a long sedan. but long car comes with a disguise that parking becomes difficult and should be careful going in to narrow streets in corners.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent mileage in city and higways. easy to drive in city and highways. no turbo lag. It is ready to take a high gear on less speed. I feel uncomfortable with 2nd gear all the time, bit jerky in this gear. I have not crossed 100+km speed, Do not know how it behaves after that 😝 Accent crdi gear rod is ver small compared to sunny one.
Ride Quality & Handling Feels good and can take small bumps easily and suspensipns/tyres did not crash on rural roads with small pothole bumps. Soft suspenssion becomes saggy when fully loaded and need to be careful when taking on biggggg blore bumps.
Final Words It is a practical car for driving both in city/higways. very good mileage and found to be less maintainence. More service centers to be located in and around the tier 1 cities.
Areas of improvement NA.
Regards,
Satya.

Exterior Good looks, however there seems to be a scope for front look improvement.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I and most of my family members are around 6feet tall. the main reason for buying this car was the ample leg space. I will have to admit that the leg space and rear seat comfort it offers is simply excellent compared with any car you name.
Even the features it offers like 2 air bags, ABS, EBD, BA, electronic power steering, keyless entry, you wont find all these in a similarly priced car.
The dash board should have been in double colour with a wooden tinge. which would have improved the grace internally.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is good, the pickup, drive comfort, all is excellent. you can feel a sudden power burst if u press the accelator for a bit longer time. I have driven the car for 1050km till now, and have not crossed the speed of 80km, have driven it with A.C. on for 80-85% of the time and also driven on bad roads for roughly 100-150km where i had to drive in the 3rd or 4th gear only, AND TODAY THE GUAGE SHOWS FUEL EFFICENCY AS 23.5KMPL. as against the ARAI certified avg of 21.65kmpl. SIMPLY MARVELOUS.
Ride Quality & Handling GOOD.
Final Words A Excellent car in terms of comfort, fuel economy, safety features.
Areas of improvement Interiors. The dashboard needs a facelift- dual tone with a wooden tinge would do good. The Digital display at the centre should be slightly bigger. Gear shifting feels a bit hard and needs improvement.

Exterior Nothing much to talk about the exteriors as it is the most recognizable feature of the car. Spartan looks, lovely grill and not-so-great rear.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is the biggest feature in the Sunny. And there is plenty of it. Very comfortable for the driver and for passengers alike. Standard features in the segment include auto climate control, stock audio system and steering controls for audio along with a neat looking dashboard.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good pick up in the city, with a duel economy of 12.5 in standard city limits (not exactly chock-a-block traffic) and got a FE of 14.5 on a long drive - Chennai to Madikeri with a fully loaded car.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is very good. However, sometimes feel that the under carriage barely misses the speed breaker humps. Had a few nasty scrapes due to ground clearance being lower.
Final Words Good car, but I felt that Nissan did a Renault (like Logan) in terms of sacrificing some features which could have made this a better car.
Areas of improvement Rear sensors to come as standard package for top end models. Audio system has to be equipped with USB port and bluetooth connectivity. And add captain seats with arm rests would make this car unmatchable in the segment.
