Nissan is all set to launch the Sunny facelift. Launch date and prices for the facelifted sedan are still unconfirmed but the company has revealed the variants that the car will be available in.
The facelift is purely a cosmetic one. Mechanically, the Sunny will retain the 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines mated to the five-speed manual gearbox. The petrol will also get a CVT auto 'box option. The Sunny will be available in three trim levels — XE, XL and XV. The XV will be available only with a diesel motor and two accessories packs — premium pack 1 and premium pack 2.
The base XE variant will be available with both petrol and diesel engines. It will feature kit like body coloured bumpers, black door handles, dual trip meter, fuel economy display, cup holders, tilt adjust steering, front power windows, driver airbag, ABS and brake assist.
The mid-level XL trim additionally gets a chrome front grille, blackened rims with wheel covers, body coloured ORVMs, black B-Pillars, rear defogger, 2-DIN stereo with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, speed sensing volume control on a four-speaker setup, steering-mounted audio controls, rear arm rest, grey theme for the interior, rear power windows, remote central locking, climate control, rear parking sensors, driver’s seat height adjust, lamp in the boot, anti-theft alarm and seat belt indicator. The XL trim also gets the option of the automatic gearbox mated to the petrol engine.
The top-end XV trim will come only with a diesel engine. It will get fog lamps up front, alloy wheels, chrome door handles, electric ORVMs with turn indicators, chrome on the bumper and boot, display for the 2-DIN audio system, outside temperature display, start/stop button, rear view camera, rear AC vent, rear reading lamps, variable speed-setting for the wipers and a front passenger airbag. There will also be two accessories packs available on the range topper. Premium pack 1 adds leather upholstery, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear lever, while premium pack 2 adds side airbags.
