The Nissan Sunny sedan had been launched with a low price of Rs 5.78 lakhs for its base variant, which could turn to be an advantage for Nissan. With the low price as compared with its contemporaries in the segment and loaded with best-in-the class features, the company has pinned up high hopes for the success of the sedan. The Nissan Micra on an average sells 2000 units a month and has been able to record just 1345 unit sales in the month of August. On the other hand, the Japanese manufacturer has other plans in the pipeline. The company mulls to offer around eight different cars in India, with three models expecting to reach the Indian shores as CBUs.

However, with Nissan’s plans to increase the dealerships across the country to 60 showrooms by 2012, the Nissan Micra sales might pick up. Now, with the introduction of much competitively priced Nissan sunny sedan in its segment, the auto brand can hope for high sales volume.
